nfinley366 Posted May 16, 2012 Report Share Posted May 16, 2012 NF Nation,I am a humble newbie who has been reading the website and the forums for many moons now. Every time I make a decision to change my life for a better me, I come up with a new excuse as to why I can't finish what I start. If you have a favorite excuse, I've probably used it! Now I can spend a few more words and paragraphs talking about how I haven't finished what I started the last few years, but let's cut the chase!Facts:I'm 33.I weight 255 lbs.I sit in cubicle nation for 8-9 hours a day, plus 1 hour commute time combined.I was diagnosed with sleep apnea 4 months ago, and now I used a bi-pap machine every night. I was recently given a choice: surgery (which may not help my sleep apnea) or get healthier and lose weight. I'm good at starting new things, but I suck at seeing things through and finishing!I love Batman and Star Trek.Goals:Lose 40-50 lbs in the next 3-6 months. Get healthier through lifestyle changes with food and exercise. Run a distance...any distance!Make changes that positively impact my health and reduce my sleep apnea symptoms. Realities:I need the right motivation. I need the right plan. I need the perfectly timed accountability.I need to change my life.Thanks NF Nation for reading and for your support.N8 Link to comment
unicornassassin Posted May 16, 2012 Report Share Posted May 16, 2012 Welcome! Way to go on the choice of health vs surgery! That's awesome What is 'perfectly timed accountability?' I'm not being a smartass, I don't understand what you mean.

nfinley366 Posted May 16, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 16, 2012 No worries. I was trying to be clever! Basically, I've observed these forums for a while and I know people are supportive. So I'm sure I will get the accountability and support I need when I need it. Link to comment
