Default finally making a solid commitment

hi guys!

i don't really know what to say in my intro. my name's aggie and i'm in my late teens. i've been trying to lose weight since i was in 8th grade, but i've always failed for reasons it's taken me 5 years to realize.

i've made on-and-off commitments over the past year and-a-half to "finally" lose weight, but they've all fallen through. however, now that i've graduated, i've made a promise to myself to start college with a whole new attitude about everything-- including my weight loss.

to be in my healthy zone, i need to lose about 130 pounds and this is my long-term goal. i plan on achieving this within the next 2-3 years (ideally), and i've joined to receive (indirect or otherwise) support and join others whose goals are similar to mine.

hope to see you all around the boards!

Hi Aggie, it's nice to meet you and hear your story.

It's great that you have set goals for yourself and have taken a step towards getting some good support to help you - you've come to the right place!

If you need any help or advice, don't hesitate to pm me or start asking questions in the forums.

Good luck!

Sarah x

Welcome to you Aggie. You can do this and you have found a place filled full of other females that have experienced the same things you are going through/have been through. There is advice here--good advice and the support is amazing. I can't wait to hear about your progress. You are so lucky to be taking care of this while you are young. Wow. College. What an amazing and exciting time. Welcome again.
