Beginning the Journey

I am nervous.

Although I am a very friendly person who smiles and laughs a lot, I am very slow to let people in to my private thoughts.  The ups and downs of losing weight will be a personal journey that I share with the world.

I hope my experiences will help someone else start on their own journey to better health.

Here I go. 

4 people, in the whole world, know my true weight (parents, girlfriend, & doctor) because I am embarrassed to say it out loud.  I guess it's one of the ways I protect myself.  If you don't know my weight than you can't hurt me with it.

I start my new weight loss journey at 493 lbs.  When I saw that number on my scale I didn't see 493, I saw 500 lbs.  My mind flashed to those stories you see on the TV news, "today Mr Smith was lifted from his house by forklift and towed to the hospital  in the back of a truck".

I will stop here and hope that I have intrigued you enough to learn more about me and see how I fare in the future.

Thanks,

  1. bigman76,

    Since you didn't see the 493 pounds on the scale and only saw 500 pounds, let me congratulate you on your 7 pound immediate loss:) My DTG friend, it's time for the journey to begin and you are on your way. Like you, it was time for my journey as well to begin. With the fine food from diet-to-go and some time we'll be seeing less of you on a regular basis. In the future you'll need to change your name from bigman76 to something like smallerhealthyguy76

    BEST OF LUCK, YOU CAN DO IT!
