Hi Everybody,
My name is Marty and I decided to start my diary today because it's my birthday and what better time to start over and get back on track!! Right?
Well, let me tell you a little about myself, I've been overweight my whole life and I've tried to lose weight with all kinds of diets and nothing worked, and one day about 3 years ago I went to the doctor and I could'nt believe my own eyes when I looked at the scales--398
pounds. WOW!! I was only 2
pounds from breaking the 400 mark--and this is even worst than you mite think because I'm only 5'2' and at the time I could bearly walk and was taking meds for diabetes, high blood pressure, cholesterol and water pills because my feet were so swelled without them I could'nt wear my shoes. My doctor talked to me about the
weight loss surgery and I know I just could'nt do that ever!! So I figured I try to lose some weight not by
diet but by just cutting back and eating less--not different. This slowly began to work and over the last 3 years I lost about 95
pounds.
NOW IT'S TIME TO TAKE THE NEXT STEP!!
As of today--my 45th birthday I weight 308
pounds and I'm watching what I eat more carefully now and I walking a little--that's about the only exercise I can do. And I read on one of the threads about weighting everyday so I'm doing that--It's a great motivater and will keep me in check!!
My stats:
Age:45
Weight:308
Height:5'2'

Well, I think that will do it for today, I'd love to hear from all of you guys with any advice,comments or suggestions and I'll be back tomorrow for day 2 !!
