Hello from New Jersey.
 

Hi everyone! :smug: I'm 26 going on 27 in September. I sadly weigh 250lbs! I've always been over weight, but not this much. I'm not getting younger and would love to feel and look good. People always tell me I have "such a pretty face", but I want everything else to be pretty too. I have a problem over eating - I love food, especially the unhealthy kind. And working out ... forget it! I haven't done that in so long. I plan on joining a fitness club (looking at the website as i type this). I've always been unmotivated and quit as soon as i think it's getting harder to be committed. Today I am putting my foot down! I plan on living a healthier life and feeling confident about myself. My long term goal is to get down to 150. My short term goal is to lose 50lbs.

I'm glad to have found this site, I hope to make new friends on my journey. Nice to meet you all! :hug:
