Hi! im allie. im 20 years old and have finally desided that it time to lose weight. im 5 feet tall and weigh 198. iv always had trouble with my weight going up and down. right now i want to get to 115-120 because thats when i felt my best. i was thin but i was still healthy. iv tried diets before but non that have really worked for me. i also tend to not work out consistantly because i get bored with it. so hopefully being here to get support will change that so i can finally get healthy and happy again!
Hi Allie!

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 and inspired - you'll be a wonderful addition to any of them. Try the 20 somethings and the weight loss support forums, they're active and very helpful - also the Success stories are a must for motivation.
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 since last fall, 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 going off track or giving up. It has made all the difference in my success so far.
So welcome - you 've found the right place - join in by inspiring us and being inspired!
