Opps, I didn't know this thread was here or I wouldn't have started a new thread

I stumbled upon this site while using google and thought I'd sign up.

I don't know anyone here, nor do I have friends who are currently trying to lose weight or would use this site. But I signed up anyway cause I might make some friends here and help hold myself accountable. Also it's cool that I can blog, and track calories and exercise, so I think I'll find this site useful.

My BMI is 30 and I believe I'm probably about 50 pounds from where I should be. 30 BMI is considered obese and not just overweight

As I gained weight throughout my 20's I've had less and less confidence in myself and an increasingly poor self-image.

I have very little energy, my blood sugar and blood pressure are both high. So that is some more motivation to get started and stick with it. I don't want to have health problems at my age, or any age in the future.

So I'm looking to turn this all around by finally getting it together for both my mental and physical well being.

I look forward to meeting you all.
