I just got home from seeing a doctor and he told me that my BMI is 34.7 which is considered obese. Scary to hear those words and being told of the potential health complications. Need to lose weight, so I searched for weight loss forums and here I am.

I'm a 40 year old male and I guess I'm taking my first step to make some changes in my lifestyle and lose some serious weight.

Growing up I was skinny, then after high school I started working out and stayed fit pretty much my whole life. Last year I was involved in a car accident and two months later I was laid off from my long-term job and I've been doing nothing ever since, literally. I stopped going to the gym and started eating all day, especially late at night. I've gained over 40 lbs and need help!!
 
Welcome! I'm also obese and growing up I was never overweight or obese. In my opinion, the most helpful part of this forum is the weight loss diaries section which can be found here: http://weight-loss.fitness.com/forums/weight-loss-diary.9/
Try starting a weight loss journal, we don't bite.
