Very new here. But I need help getting healthy.

I’m a 29m (just turned 29 2 days ago).

I apologize that if I don’t know all the lingo and abbreviations.. but I decided to take a step and post here.

I’m about 6 foot 1. ~320 pounds. I don’t know exactly because I went to weigh myself while typing this and my scale had low battery (what a great way to start).

I have essentially been a bedridden alcoholic for years now. I’m trying to do better at not making excuses, but my Panic Disorder was a contributing factor to that.

My lifestyle is below sedentary.

But everything is changing.

I don’t drink anymore. And I have a strong desire to get healthy and to get a job and pursue happiness.

The problem is I’m not sure how to take on this challenge of losing weight (I’d like to weigh 199 pounds) and getting healthy physically (I would like to be consistently active and not need as many medications. But would also like to have more confidence and be able to participate in social events again. Be a good friend, and a contributing member to my family.

I just feel like I need some extra sustaining support or motivation. I would like to have a weight loss partner. But I don’t have anyone around me who could realistically do this with me.

I guess that’s what lead me here.

Is an online weight loss buddy a thing? Does it work? How does it work?

I’ve also considered maybe vlogging my experience. Maybe that would add some accountability? Or is that just vanity?

I know couch to 5k is a popular term. But I’m literally going from the couch (laying down all day everyday. Just getting up to go to the bathroom) to trying to have a happy, healthy, active life.

Is this even possible?
