I guess I will start by saying hello. I have been struggling with my weight since high school and I have been off and on diets for several years. I was doing very well with weight loss about 4 years ago and I got down to about 270 from 335 but I was diagnosed with cancer. I went through 4 rounds and chemo and a couple of surgeries and it left me with a very weak body and I stopped exercising. Since that point my weight had climbed up to 375.

Just like everyone I made a new years resolution to lose weight and get into shape. The big thing that motivated me this year was a pool I got into at work to lose 10% of our body weight. 6 of us all put $100 in and the first 3 to make it win a share of the winnings. We added a clause that you must keep the weight off for 6 months after you loose it. Well I plan to go much further.

The diet I am following so far is mainly weight watchers based. I have completely stopped drinking soda and I drink atleast 3 liters of water a day. I am also avoiding simple carbs and trying to stick to whole grains. I also joined 24 hour fitness and do at least 2.5-3 miles on the tread mill 5 days a week. I will try and keep my progress updated on the forums.

Re: First post

Wow, those are a lot of changes in a short period of time! My mother has been struggling with cancer as well which led to weight gain; I know it's not easy to keep the weight off while going through chemo. Please do keep us updated on your progress as you go! Have you made another other eating habit changes?
