: My name is April. I've been fighting a losing battle against being overweight since I was eight years old. It has always affected me socially and emotionally.... and now I can see it affecting my health, as well. (lower back pain, possibly prediabetes, joint pain, etc.)I just graduated college (WOOT
) and I'm about to move 1,000 miles away from my home state to live with my boyfriend. I'm beginning a completely new life... new career, new location, new culture, new everything. And I'd also like to have a new me 
I know it'll take a lot of hard work and self-control. But, every little mini-goal makes it all worthwhile. Also, reading others' success stories, as well as their struggles, is very encouraging and empowering. I look forward to the friendships and support that will be shared on here
