Hello I'm Becca Im 18 I weigh 230lbs but trying to get to 120.

Hi Becca. I'm new here as well. I'm Aubrey and my stats are just about the same as yours. Good luck on your journey!

Hey Becca!

Do you have a plan you're going to follow? We have a ton of different forums by plan to check out. Even though you're 18, you might want to check out our 20-somethings forum for people in that age range...they're likely to be close to your stage of life.

Pick a plan, work that plan every day as best you can, and keep going...that's what gets you to goal.

Can't wait to get to know you better!

Thanks Aubrey and Mandalinn I'v really just started dieting and I'm trying to do a 1500 calorie diet and 30 min on the treadmill a day. I'm looking on the forum and a few other sites to find a plan. In the past I do better at loseing weight with a support system and I don't open up to easy I am hopeing to get the support I need to reach my goal on this site. Any tips anyone may have on a good plan will be appreciated. I'm also havine problims getting the bar on the sig to work.

Hi Becca There are so many good plans out there... I am on calorie cycling counting. I eat 1200-1500 calories daily. This includes: lots of veggies, fruit, chicken, fish, skim milk, eggs, etc. I have a family member on the weight watchers plus program and she is doing really good on it. You can do lots of reading to find out which plan is best for you.
I would suggest keeping a journal with your weight, date, menus, etc. and take down your measurements so you can be motivated watching those numbers decline!
I think the signature (weight loss ticker) will be avaliable for you to use and enjoy after 20 day's have passed from your sign on date with 3FC and 20 posts (I think that is correct). This is in place to keep spammers down.
Happy New Year! I hope you have lots of success this year with your weight loss goal

Thank you I will look up the weight watchers plus plan.

Welcome Becca!
