Hi I am just turned 25 and have decided it's time to lose all the weight that has packed on since highschool. I am at 244.3 as of this morning and my goal is 180. I don't have a time limit and I am going to try South Beach.
Have you stumbled onto our South Beach forums yet? We have a very active board of Beachers here.
You may also want to check out the 20-somethings forum to talk with people in your own age group...another wonderful group with lots of active, supportive posters.
Otherwise, settle in, start/keep posting, and get going. I can't wait to hear more from you soon, and hope you'll stick around.
