Hey everyone! My name's Courtney and I'm starting a verrrrry lengthy process to lose 100+ pounds. I haven't weighed myself but I believe I weigh in at around 275 or 280, 22 years old, and 5'8"...so you can understand why I want to desperately lose the weight so bad. I'm in the prime of my life and when it comes down to it, I just want to feel comfortable in my own skin and feel better. I'm tired of being known as the chubby girl with a cute face...it's time I become the fit girl! Does anyone up here have any advice on losing this much weight? I'm hoping to reach my goal by next March or April. Just wanted to say hi to everyone and I hope your goals are being met and that you all stay awesome. I'm hitting the gym in about a hour or so..so HORRAY!
Congratulations on taking the first steps towards your goal!. Look around the boards and join some of the groups.
You might want to look under the Support Groups..there is a sub-forum called the 100lb club, they is also a 20-something group.
There are so many wonderful people here,willing to share their experiences and lend support.
Hi everyone! Thanks so much for the warm welcome. I'm lovin this site! Such incredible support and incredible people. I worked out yesterday for the first time in a while and it feels A M A Z I N G.
