inneedofachange is on a distinguished road
Default Tired of watching from the sidelines

Well I cant believe Im finally doing this. Usually I try and deal with things myself but I actually felt I needed support with this one. IM sure everyone had the same problem as me, one day I woke up and noticed I was 248lbs. The problem is, I am a 34 years young male with only a 5'10" frame. I should be no more than 190lbs. That is my goal weight. I loved eveything I read on this site so I am joining the team! Today I start this WOL. That just means I just put the beer and pizza factory's out of business I shall keep you all posted and when I am not that ashamed, I shall post some begining and during pictures. That you for all your wonderful success stories, you have all been inspiring. Its always nice to make new friends.

Inneedofachange!

Welcome
There is nothing to be ashamed about here, most of us were/are in the same boat. Pull up a chair and an icy cold mug of water and read on. Were all about making friends here

Hi inneedofachange! Hmmmm, can I call you Bob, or something? Just kidding! Welcome to the board. You sound like a very determined person starting this WOL. You are young and you deserve to lead a healthy life.

Keep your eyes out for some great board wide challenges. Joining challenges is a great way to make friends, get the support you need and keep yourself accountable for your eating.

Also, there is a men's forum that might interest you. You need access to it and can send a PM to richt, and he can allow you entry!
