finally making a solid commitment
 

hi guys!

i don't really know what to say in my intro. my name's aggie and i'm in my late teens. i've been trying to lose weight since i was in 8th grade, but i've always failed for reasons it's taken me 5 years to realize.

i've made on-and-off commitments over the past year and-a-half to "finally" lose weight, but they've all fallen through. however, now that i've graduated, i've made a promise to myself to start college with a whole new attitude about everything-- including my weight loss.

to be in my healthy zone, i need to lose about 130 pounds and this is my long-term goal. i plan on achieving this within the next 2-3 years (ideally), and i've joined to receive (indirect or otherwise) support and join others whose goals are similar to mine.

hope to see you all around the boards! :D
