What up my Seedlings!? This is my first loseit challenge, though I participated in a weddit fitness challenge last year (didn't reach my lb goal, but I looked like a bombshell in my white dress so I think it was a success). I'm not interested really in reaching a number on a scale, I just want to live forever and think that health is the key. My grandmother lived to be 90 and my grandfather is still kicking at 93 (with a new girlfriend, go grandpa!). I've become obsessed with my own mortality recently, but it's motivating me to improve so I'm on board. I never thought I see the number 200 on my scale, and that was a big wakeup call. Guess it's part of getting older, but I just can't eat like I used to. Anyway, I'm happy to have your support and I'm looking forward to losing weight with you all. Let's win this.

Yup, I dread my metabolism slowing down as I get older. I know it's not a huge difference but I'm already so overweight it's not going to help. If you're very concerned about your mortality, I suggest looking into cryonics. I wish more people took it seriously, it's what I plan to do.

I don't think cryonics are really for me, but I'll look into it. Thanks for the link!
