Hey all! My name is Cassi and I'm 17 years old. I lived in New York all my life where I stood 5'9, 170 pounds. I moved to New Jersey a year ago.. I gained 30 pounds due to a mixture of missing my friends and being in a new environment and being somewhat of an outcast.. I guess I was somewhat depressed and ate more than doing anything else. I've recently started to gain more confidence in myself and began to care more about my appearance.. I started running and dieting 3 days ago and have lost 2 pounds. I'm trying to consume about 1200 calories a day but being 198 pounds and almost 5'10, I don't know if that's very beneficial for me.. Any advice would be lovely. It's going to be a pleasure meeting you all.:)
