Hi there! My name is Charlynn, and I'm 19 this year. I used to be really skinny up until I hit puberty. Then I was always chubby and now I'm overweight at 165lbs! This might sound silly but I finally decided it was time to lose the weight and keep my body healthy.

One of the reasons why is because I have self esteem issues. I knew I was overweight and especially being in Asia, most girls are stick thin! I avoided making new friends because I was scared they would make fun of my weight. I hate going out and I'm always just indoors. What social life? lol.

Also, I've been with my boyfriend for almost 6 years now and I've always been fat. He has never once told me that I needed to lose weight, and was never once embarrassed by me. I feel like I should do this for him too, since he's been so supportive in everything!

So yeah. That's my story and why I'm starting! How about you?

Hi Charlynn and Welcome! Good for you in deciding to get more healty. You've come to a nice forum with lots of supportive people. Looking forward to getting to know you.

Hi Charlyn, nice to meet you
