I Am Obese And Want To Lose Weight

At the end of last year, mid-December I was 340 lbs. I'm now 250 lbs, which has taken me from morbidly obese to obese, almost just "over weight". I'm pretty pleased with the progress I've made this year. I don't want to be skinny, I just want to be in better shape.

Thank you! I have noticed a big difference! It's been well worth the effort.

@PeanutsauntieP1982: It is startling to think about wearing a backpack around with the extra weight. Setting it aside must be like being set free.

It is a bit like that overall, but it's also a bit like wearing one or two layers too many.
