Yep, as stated on the topic, I'm a 21-year-old male from Finland.
I reside in the souther Finland and have been born and living here all my life.

I started getting some excess weight on my shoulders in my preteens. The situation just got worse over time and I weighed almost 450 lbs 18 months ago. I don't like the pound system, and I need to convert kg's to lbs via Google, but that's just a side note.

Then something struck me, was that really the person I wanted to be?
So my life went upside down and I changed everything. Eating and exercising habits were of course the most noticeable ones.

Some pictures of me can be found here: http://www.3fatchicks.com/forum/show....php?p=1502483

I haven't reached my goal yet, but I haven't lost my motivation and if everything goes as planned, I should have reached my goal not later than next summer. My height is by the way 186cm which is.. (well, you can convert it yourself.. =)

Actually I don't have that much spare time just now to finish my introduction, but I hope I'm welcome. I have been reading 3fatchicks.com and especially the forums for some time now, but not until now did I get the motivation to register myself.

Thanks, and Merry Christmas to EVERYONE! Let's have even better year 2007 than the ongoing one. We can all change!
