Hi there! I'm new here. Well, I actually made this account a while ago, but I completely forgot about it and never ended up posting. ^^;; So, long story short, I was looking around for a place like this, and thought, "Oh yeah, I made that account already." So, here I am. xD

So, about me. I'm a freshman in college, and I'm looking to work on my health and fitness levels for the end of this summer. (Being my mini-goal. My long term one is to maintain that level.)

When I was in high school, I weighed a lot more than I do now. My peak was 245 lbs when I was sixteen. Since then, I've worked down to 172, but I've been at a stand still since then. My ultimate goal is 137, which I believe - and correct me if I'm wrong - is an average weight for a 5'7" female, yes?

...

Sorry for blabbing on. xD I'm done now, I promise~

Welcome to the site. There are plenty of forums around for browsing so hopefully one fits you! See you soon.

Thank you so much. ^^ I've been scoping around and have already found some useful bits of information.

Welcome to 3FC! Congrats on your loss so far!

Check out the 20 something forum for lots of college students.

As for an ideal weight, it's hard to say, I'm 5'8" and I weigh about 152. My body fat percentage is 14.5% though, so it would be really hard for me to get much into the 140s, not to even think about the 130s. I think a good weight is one where we feel good and can maintain it with a reasonable nutrition and exercise regimen....aka, why torture ourselves? So, that may be 137 for you, or it might be higher or lower. As you get closer, you'll figure it out.

Thanks, and I will. :3

Hum, you're right. I just chose 137 because it was in the middle there. I honestly don't know my muscle mass or anything like that that would allow me to find a more achievable goal. If I end up levelling off again somewhere near there, I suppose that would give me a hint. xD

Hi! Welcome! it's great to meet you. I see you are an iced tea addict. Me, too!

Heh, thanks. I am indeed. I really got hooked onto it after I gave up pop. It's the caffeine, I swear. xD
