Hello! NEW TO BLOGGING!?!
Hi Everyone,
I am totally new to the world of blogging so any tips or how-to's would help me out. I am in that generation that grew up with computers but not until teenage years (late 80s...early 90s). We had them and knew how to use them more than the older people. But now as I'm getting older and losing touch with youth (ouch that hurts to say) I'm also not keeping up with new technology. I understand "instant messaging" from my day, but blogging is new to me. But I want to communicate, support & get support from others in my situation to battle the weight. So here we go...
About me: My name is Jon. I am 29, male & Very Obese.
My highest weight was 450 lbs. a couple of yrs ago. I lost some along the way, but starting in Feb this yr I started Phentermine and I'm now at 399! 51 POUNDS in 6 Months!
Some months I lose a lot and some months I only lose 2 or 3 lbs., but I haven't gained any!
I come from 2 families of large people, but I am the biggest of ALL! I don't know anyone else my size. A lot of my family hover around 250 - 300 and I'm 450. I have always been a big man. In high school I had to make sure there was a desk in every class that I could fit in. That's not fun for a teenager. I'm not shy, but I am a little reserved about going places for fear that I won't "fit" the place. Movies, Theme Parks, Haunted Houses & Clothing Stores (of course) are not places I can go with friends...so I don't really have any friends, except 1 from High School that I talk to often but don't go anywhere with. So you can see why I need support online.
My goals are simple really. I want to lose the weight so I can "begin" my life. I want to be able to do things, be active and most of all find a wife and start a family by the time I'm 30, which is only 11 months away so that's not totally realistic. I hope to get to around 200 - 220, so I need to lose over half of my current self! Huge undertaking, huh?
Like I said I'm not a blogger, so I hope I did this right.
I hope to hear from someone soon.
Thank you all,
Jon
