Hi all

[LittleGTI]

Hi all,

I’ve been overweight a good part of my life. I have gained and lost 100s of lbs. Currently, I am at my heaviest but I have also reached the point where it’s time. Time to stop lying to myself and back into the best shape of my life. I know this is going to be a long and difficult road. I’m just tired of having leg and knee pain and being out of breath. And I’m looking for support and help.

Thanks

Welcome to the forum. It is a great place to get ideas, recipes and encourgaement. Take your time and remember losing weight is a marathon not a sprint, it will take time but for each pound off you are a step closer to your finish line.

Have you decided what method you are going to use? I use calorie counting.

Yes welcome. Well you probably know a thing or two about this weightloss malarky, including how hard maintenance is long term. But its very good that you have drawn a line and said ’enough’. Aches and pains are cetainly a good incentive to lose weight and you might find losing just some of what you’re planning to lose in total will start to ease some of those. Perhaps start to think about your new regime as a ’new way of eating’ rather than a diet so allow yourself the odd treat but focus on healthy sustaining meals that you can learn to enjoy. When I’ve visited the USA I realised how important it is to label-read everything, because they seem to add sugar or starch to the most unexpected things. Have a good first week.
