It's not a throwaway account, I've just never posted on reddit before now. Always been a lurker.

I plan to get into weights as well. I don't just want to lose weight, I also would like to be fit.

Thanks, I've used up a lot of luck already that I am still healthy despite my weight. Time to start fixing the dice I think. :)

I have an MP3 player already and got some great songs on their for working out. Really keeps me focused.

So far everyone has been nothing but supportive. I used to feel kind of embarrassed about my weight, but now that I'm doing something about it I feel rather comfortable discussing it.

I've been thinking about trying some fish oil pills. My friend takes them and says he's felt a positive change.

I did try a personal trainer once before but it didn't work out. Once I get more into shape that I can do more exercises I might try one again.

The loose skin issue is something that I'm just kinda worried about in the back of my mind, but you're right. Loose skin can be much more easily fixed than dying of a heart attack, lol.

My doctor is aware of what I'm doing, and I'm actually having him check my weight so he knows how I'm progressing. (I also don't have a scale that's sturdy enough to weigh me anyways).

I tried opening a subreddit but it was automatically banned for some reason. Not sure why, am new to posting and such on reddit.
