My name is Linzi and I'm 24 year old nursing student. I decided to do actually DO something about my weight instead of sitting around complaining about it, and I feel really good so far.
I started January 1 and have lost 12 pounds so far, just leaving me 88 pounds to lose to reach my goal weight. It has been a challenge... it's been harder than I imagined it would be, but I like the way it makes me feel.
I'm here because I love the support that message boards can bring, but I just couldn't keep up with the forums on the Weight Watchers site, which is the dietary plan I follow fairly strictly. I'm also struggling to transition into a completely vegetarian diet, but baby steps is what I'm taking. I'm trying not to overwhelm myself.
Anyway, I'm excited to be here, excited to get to know everyone, and excited to get this excess weight off.
If anyone wants to be buddies or anything like that, I'd be happy to trade email addresses or whatnot (but I warn you... I can talk a lot!).-Linzi
