day one

I literally have tried everything to lose weight. Finally, I realized that I need to do it my way, not someone else's and maybe I'll get the results I'm aiming for. My lowest weight was when I was 18 years old, and I weighed 160 lbs. Ideally I would like to get back to that weight someday, but I know that It will take a lot of work and patience, because I would technically have to lose half of myself to become that again. Right now my goal is to lose 47 lbs. I'm not looking to lose weight fast, I'm looking to keep it off when I finally reach my goal. When I lose this first 47, my next goal is to lose another 50. I'm hoping to accomplish this within the next two years..if I can make it down to 200 lbs I will be happy to work at just keeping it off. I'm scared that I will die if I don't do something about the weight now. I'm only 24, my BMI is 52%!! I'm more than HALF FAT. =( My grandmother was heavy, morbidly obese really for the majority of her life, and when she passed away she weighed over 500lbs. I am terrified that I will get there and not even realize it. I'm not even sure how I got to 300lbs as it is!
It's time to do this for me. I will need all the support and motivation I can get, but I have a wonderful supportive family and I know that I can do it!
