I am 37 years old and have been obsese since I was 17.  I am a private security guard and most of my day is spent sitting or standing with some light walking.  I thought I was doing well health wise until I realized that I couldn't go more than 20 feet on patrol at work before I was winded and panting and it felt like my heart was trying to jump out of my chest. 

My doctor told me 2 years ago I should weight about 180 pounds and just the thought of losing 120+ pounds is terrifying to me.

Sept. 2007.

When I first joined last year I did well.  I lost about 15 pounds and then gave up.  So, now I am back and at 312 pounds.  I am going to keep doing this until I get it right.
