Another new member! Hello everyone!
 

My name is Steph and I turned 21 last month. I have no idea what to do yet or where to start! Maybe some background will help, I will be a Senior in college this fall, at home for the summer and no current job. The weight gain started in high school but I did not notice because I was happy with my body. That is my goal I guess, to be happy with how I look. As for weight I want to be down to at least 140 for healthy BMI and to get the doctor off my back! Anyhow, the last three years of college I have gained about 40 pounds and it shows. I try to eat healthy but is tough in college and especially at home because my family has never been healthy eaters. The recreation center at my school is free so I am hoping to start in the fall. For now I have been using the Shake Weight (yes, as seen on TV), Wii EA Active and activities outside. The Shake Weight is amazing! I am beginning to see definition in my arms, shoulders and back. EA Active gives me a workout but I am not sure if it is enough. I swim and ride bikes with my family too.

In August my family is taking a vacation across the country. So my mother started our own challenge. Whoever loses the most weight gets an extra $100 to spend however we like. This is the third week and I have not lost any weight. I did not work out last week because I lacked the motivation.
So I started back up today, joined here because I want this weight off so bad!! Sorry for the long post! Hopefully you all can give me feedback on beginning here. Where to post and all the basics :)

Thanks for reading! :D
