Hello everyone! 23 years old and starting my life over!
Hello everyone! I have been reading through this site for a few weeks now with no intention of signing up for an account but just couldn't resist! I love how supportive everyone is, and hope to receive great feedback as well as give support and feedback to those who need it as well! My journey with weight loss seems to have gone on for my entire life. I was a thin child, pretty active but loved food. Once I reached middle school my weight began to pack on pretty quickly. Once high school started I was in size 16 pants and close to 200 lbs. College came and went, and while most people put on the "freshman 15" I put on what I call the "freshman 50" -although it could have been more. I never weighed myself, but steadily could tell through pictures that the 3am pizzas, low activity level, and empty calories from alcohol had made me obese. I will say that I was successful on a diet before my college graduation, I just don't know how successful exactly because I now know my scale was broken. Looking back, I was disgusted with myself. I was uncomfortable in my own over stretched skin, and wanted a change but never took the steps to get there! Here I am now at 241 lbs, almost 30 lbs. less than my highest weight and I feel ready to take on a life change. For the past three weeks I have been on a strict 1300 calories a day diet and a 5 days a week exercising plan, and honestly feel better than I have in a very long time. I am determined to make a change and that has been proven by a three week loss of 14 pounds. I am excited to share this journey with all of you, and hopefully inspire and be inspired.
