I registered a while ago after lurking for weeks and I finally decided to post.
I'm a 24 year old New Yorker and I've been overwight since I was 16. I think I put on the weight due to medication when I was diagnosed for depression combined with unhealthy eating habits. My New Years solutions earlier this year was to start losing the weight. The beginning of this year I weight 230 pounds and now I weight 194. I'm still struggling to reach my goal weight of 145. I decided to lose all of the weight because I was tired of complaining about it and of course for health reasons. Judging from the posts here everyone seems nice and supportive.

Hi and welcome!
We are nice
You've already done good work! How have you lost those pounds?

Welcome! You're doing really well. Kudos to you.

Thanks. I lost the weight by just watching what I eat (I try to limit my fat and sugar intake) and exericse (about 45-60 minutes a day).
