I'm trying to loose 30 pounds before I turn 20 in May. Hello, my name is Jaye. I'm 19 years old, 5'2, and 190 pounds. This is the biggest I've ever been and I feel so crappy about it. These pounds HAVE to go. I feel like I am not living up to my full potential by not being healthy of course, & also not feeling good about the way I look. From what I've *lurked* so far has been amazing and truly inspirational; I aspire to be one of those people who's achieved their goals. Ultimately, I want to loose 60 pounds but just 30 before I turn 20. This is the first time I've joined a weight loss forum in hopes that it will motivate me to loose these extremely unwanted weight.

Hey there, and

We have forums by eating plan and age range, which you might want to check out (even though you're 19, I think you'd be a good fit in the 20-somethings forum). Look around, find a spot or several that feel right, and get to posting.

Can't wait to get to know you better!

Welcome and good luck!
