Hello everyone! I just came across this forum and decided it was the perfect place to hang out while I begin to start this lovely journey.
I guess a little info? I'm an 18 year old, 6' 2", 308 lb guy and am currently senior in high school - going off to college next year in southern california. I've been overweight all my life - since I was 8 at least. I've tried everything in my life - I have a very similar story as many of you.
I don't know what's different about this time but I don't believe in ever giving up. This is, though, my first time actually going for support. I have always tried to do this on my own because I've never understood the power a good support group can have.
Some generals? I'm a computer geek - I'm going into a Computer Science major next year and have been doing web design and programming work since junior high. I'm worried one of the dangers that will come with my profession is the inactivity it entails so I'm going to need to learn more about myself to keep my weight down. I also love music, I've been singing since I was a little kid, playing piano, guitar, and drums.
Anyways, this is the most i've ever weighed in my life but I have no doubts that it can be fixed - I just have given up so many times it seems hopeless. This just might be my last serious try before I go completely downhill so I hope somehow I'm able to get things under control. Thanks for reading and i hope to talk to many of you soon.

I feel like now I can do this b/c I have some support and I know that I am not alone. I am a woman, 5 feet tall and weigh about 153 lbs (I was at 159). I know it may not sound like I weigh that much but for my height I do! This is the biggest weight I have ever been at. I am at college right now and I am working at my first desk job, I gained about 20 lbs in 6 months time! I was so surprised to jump on the scale! Just wanted to say hi and wish you good luck with everything!
