Hi!
I'm Ali. I'm 19 years old, 5'3, and am currently going through some issues with my weight. A little more than a year and a half ago, I was a high school wrestler who competed at the national level.I wrestled for 2 years. During that time, I definately felt like I was at my peak as an athlete due to the intensity of practices and my non stop training schedule.
I started cutting weight, and a lot of it. I went from 130 pounds to about 107 in the span of a few months and at one point I had even managed to cut down from 128 pounds to 115 in about 3 days. At the time I didn't know too much about what I was doing and how bad it would be for me in the future, but it's caught up to me now.
Now I am 165 pounds and am having trouble getting the weight off due to my metabolism having gone through all those ups and downs. My goal is to get down to 125-120 and hopefully even down to 115.
I want to go from having been an athlete to still being one and proud of it!
Anyone else want to join?
