I am 25 and came across this board and think it is fantastic. I am currently about 151(gotta double check tomorrow morning). I started at 170 and just by eating better lost about 20 pounds. I have now started exercising(walking for now) and am wanting to lose more. I can see there is a lot of support here and that is what I need. Especially, when it comes to exercising. I am really excited I found a place like this.
Welcome and great job on the weight loss so far. I too lost around 20 then started exercising. I've lost a few pounds more, not much, but people are really noticing. I'm beginning to wonder if it's the exercising helping me tone up. I got a few comments before, then the other day at work I literally had everyone talking about the weight I had lost, even though I was only a few pounds lighter than the previous week. Good luck to you!
Welcome. Since Chicks can be overwhelming at first, I suggest you look for a support group or challenge to join; a small group of friends to help keep you motivated. Find one you like that fits your needs, or inspires you, and just post to join.
Thanks everyone for being so nice. I am excited to be here. Started the day off with a good walk on the treadmill and do some swimming in the pool tonight...I'm on my way to losing...
Happy to be here!!!
