Default Hey I'm New Too! :D
Hi everyone!

I joined the other day and have been reading through everything. I finally realized I needed to introduce myself!

I'm 23 years old, 5'7" and weigh about 224lbs. I've been pretty heavy for a lot of my life (not as big as I THOUGHT I was, though! Damn that warped teenage self esteem!). I got down to the 170's/size 12 in high school and it was great, though of courses I wanted to be thinner.

Then came college and the weight just packed on! I got up to 255, which is kind of crazy for me to wrap my mind around. I would like to get down to the 150-160 range, I think (I'd like to be an athletic size 8-10 but still keep some curves).

I'm counting calories and exercising and seeing pretty good results so far.

So yeah, here I am and I'm glad to be here!

Hi ms hodge!
Sounds like you've got a plan in place, have the determination and are off to a good start!

Glad to have you join us! There are lots & lots of different groups and forums - I'm sure you'll find some that will keep you motivated, inspired and entertained!

There are bunches of people here with more to lose and some with less - the bottom line is that we all have to do it a day at a time. The good thing is that we'll have lots of company along the way.

I've only been here a short time myself, having NEVER been part of an online forum. What has been so eye-opening is how much it has helped me. Whenever I feel overwhelmed or defeated, I just log on and read some of the success stories, complete with their before & after photos - or read about others still dealing day to day with their challenges - and before I know it, the time has flown by and so have all the thoughts of cheating or giving up.

So welcome - you 've found the right place - join in by inspiring us and being inspired!
