Hopefully for good. So uh, yeah, I'm back after disappearing for a year, and I'm still grossly overweight. Last time I was here I made an intro and asked some advice before disappearing to deal with life, but now I really want to make more of an effort to lose weight, be healthy and happy for once..so, Hey all. Here's a re-introduction: My name is Jamie, I'm 20 years old, 5'6 and 265 pounds(last time I checked, not sure tho) I constantly lurk the Nerd Fitness articles to maybe gleam some motivation from them, then I discovered the 6 Week Challenge here in the forums and thought 'I should try that out' The only problem I've been struggling a lot with losing weight is food, and sleep. I have a love-hate relationship with food. I hate eating but I also love eating ??? I'll spend periods of time not eating, and then eat a whole bunch when I'm stuffed and know I shouldn't. Also, I'm living with my grandmother for the time being, and ya'll know how grans are. They'll make a whole bunch of greasy food and expect you to eat it all in a day, and get offended if you don't. And with sleep, well...I don't sleep when I should, I'll stay up all night, or recently, I'll be too paranoid to sleep. Break-ins tend to mess with a person like that. So yeah, I want to fix my sleep and eating habits, join the 6 week Challenge and become a permanent member of the Rebellion, Nice to meet ya.(I have no idea how many pounds I can safely lose in a year, or month, so my goals are pretty much vague atm)

Hello everyone! I've been lurking the NF site for months now without doing a thing and I've finally gotten the courage to do something about it. What I want to do first is lose weight, I weigh around 260lbs and my height is 5'6. My eating habit is horrible. I know for a fact that just exercising won't do me any good nor do I have the attention span or patience to keep up with it. So what I plan to do is fix my sleeping habit and what I eat. I've gotten into a bad habit of not eating anything when I wake up that leads to stuffing myself later and then eating really late at night. I want to focus on my diet first before starting any exercises. I've also been looking into topics of what to eat instead of eggs or cereal in the mornings. I like the idea of protein and fruit shakes, my aunt has a protein powder called SECURE Complete Meal Replacement, that I'm a little bit unsure of. Any suggestions on protein powder would be appreciated! Very interested in starting the Paleo diet but I don't have any organic grocery stores around here or the money to buy it. Gotta look into it and find any alternatives. So yeah, these are the goals I want to start to build up good habits, meet like minded people and challenge myself to stay on a healthy path.
