CLARISSA ~ you have come to the right place; we have lots of interesting threads and forums here, including 100 lb and 300+ and young people's "20+ Somethings" forums too. I am part Italian & Irish myself. You will like it here: take a good look around and just jump right in, wherever you feel comfortable!

Congratulations on coming to terms with your weight. I lived for denial in a long time before I realized that I needed to do something about it.
Your goal is very very doable and even if you only make a couple of small changes to your life at first (fewer pops... er... sodas haha, light versions of foods, short periods of exercise a day) you will see big changes in your body.
Remember that you deserve to be healthy and happy!
This is a start......I luv this forum.bcuz as u will see sumone has been there and they know the challenges...that's the best part! I wish u the bestvof luck in ur new voyage! Jst keep remembering y ur doing this
this is a great place to come for advice and motivation. We all need motivation. I am right there with you we have a few things in common. I and just a little older at 23 years old and I started my weight loss journey at 305 lbs. I am down into the 280s now but still have a long ways to go. If you would like to be weight loss buddies shoot me a message.
