Hi everyone, my name is Nikki. I'm 22 years young and new to this forum. I started my path to health this year and since I have been feeling really good and optimistic about losing weight for good. I have about 53 pounds to lose and I've lost 7 already! My main goal is to be more athletic. In HS I always wanted to play sports but 1) my school was so small we didn't have any teams for the girls and 2) I was so self conscious about my weight I wouldn't have tried out even if we did. But thats all about to change and I'm excited.

I cant wait to get to know everyone

Hey & Nikki!!!

Congrats on those 7 lbs down! Amazing start ^^ You may like it over in the 20-something's area, but post wherever you're comfortable

Best of luck!!!

loquacious - I still remember that word from a spelling test back in my school days. Welcome! I'm newbie here too - not new to dieting though. Congrats on the 7 lbs, wishing you many more.
