My name is Laura and I recently hit my highest weight ever. 245. I've been "trying" to lose weight my whole life, but I'm finished. No more excuses! I'm 21 and I refuse to spend the rest of my 20s being fat and depressed.

I need to do this, and I hope we can all support each other. I'm very happy to have found this site. I hope to get down to 130 by my 23rd birthday!

Welcome! I'm new too! I joined last night. The people here are fantastic!

Welcome to 3FC =)

Sustainable changes over time. You'll lose the weight and keep it off! We love to help support and encourage. You can do this!

See you around the boards!

Welcome! This site is great, I hope you get the support you're looking for. Tons of inspirational stories here, too. Best of luck!

Welcome Laura, I'm 19. I have the same sentiment. I hope you find much care and support here so you can achieve your goals.

Hi Laura! I'm 24 and feel the exact same way!! With this site, we can help each other through this! The good thing about this group, there's always someone around to help with a particular issue (I only joined this group like 2 days ago, but have been lurking a little while longer)

I'm eighteen and I just joined today! I feel the same way, and I even have the "same" (sort of) goal using my birthday! Welcome to the boards

Welcome, I am new here as well and find it to be a great help. You will have a fantastic 23rd birthday!

Welcome Laura! I'm 22 and I weigh 246 (had a slight relapse a month in but don't want to change my ticker again until I'm back to 243 >_<) so we're just about even for a starting point

Hope you like it here!

Thanks for the warm welcome, everyone!
