Saying hi in forums always scares me but this one looks pretty supportive so here it goes. I am 28 years old and currently 265 pounds. I started my weight loss today as I saw I weighed 265 pounds and figured something has got to change. My ultimate goal is 165 but for now being closer or under 200 pounds would be wonderful. I am hoping that being part of this forum will keep me on my goal.

Hi I also joined today! I am a student and have been gradually gaining weight... at 23 I weighed myself today and am 255... my highest ever. I am finally getting serious about weight loss. Congrats to you too for starting!

hi svdownwards - welcome to these boards! They are very supportive. I hope you have a great time here and can find the inspiration and motivation to continue your journey!

Goodluck and keep us posted on your progress! 20somethings making a change for themselves always excites me, it means you will have so many more happy years than when people don't reach that point till they are 40 or so!

Hi welcome! My first goal is to get down to 200lb too. I have about 50 to go before I reach that goal so we are in the same boat.

I'm in the same weight range, started at 262. Boo! It's scary and sad, and I'm working on it. I can't imagine how unhealthy my body is at this weight.
We're all here to work together. The important thing is not to put too much pressure on yourself while starting out. This is about learning to love and nurture your body, instead of torturing it with awful nutrition. This is a great thing to do for yourself, the ultimate spa treatment for your whole body.
