So where should i start, i guess by introducing myself to an extent i guess :P, my names Damion, im sure im sure i can use my real name here, im not to worried about it, im 19, and well i guess you could say i have a weight problem, when i was little i used to have a body i was proud of, but then my grandparents came into the picture and kinda started spoiling me, feeding me what i wanted, and i like literally gained 198 pounds, im not looking to get down to 100 again, i mean im a guy so i need to weight at least a buck sixty, but i have such a long road ahead of me, i dont have much support at home so i want to reach out to people who i can relate to you know ? before i didnt care all that much, but i look at myself now and im like "Ugh, is this really me" it sucks you know, but i wana have a new go at life, and hoping to make some friends along the way :)

Cheers

i excercise to old biggest loser episodes too.

One big thing that helps me is educating myself on nutrition and health! It's very empowering to know the facts about eating right and losing weight the right way. You will be amazed how interesting it is and how much it will change how you look at food. Stay positive and motivated and just know it get's easier. When I started running on the treadmill I could barely go for 1-2 minutes. 3 Weeks later and I'm running for 15+ minutes and still continue to challenge myself. My ending goal is a 5K but I also set mini goals for myself to reach. Once I reach my goal twice I move on to the next one. Its very motivating. Don't give up you can do this!

Thank you all for your post. I am new to the site and it makes me feel as if am not alone and can seriously do it. Thanx a lot and pray that I can keep my motivation up
