Default My name is Alec & I'm FAT.

Well, where to start off? I'm 19 and am very new to the forums. I've recently started dieting again and am looking to drop about 75 lbs. I'm 5'7 and currently weigh 245 lbs; blah I know. I'm hoping that with frequenting these forums I'll gain some friends and be inspired to reach my goal. My heaviest weight I've seen on a scale was 286 lbs & I've been able to drop about 41 lbs over the past few years, but that is simply not enough. I want to be healthy, skinny, active & attractive!

So hello all

Thanks for all the replies & support!

Getting ready to head to gym; planning to do 45 minutes of cardio on one of the elliptical trainers.

Only managed to do 30 minutes, the ellipticals at the gym are much more intense than the one I have at home. Those lazy days seem to affect me fairly often also.
