Hello! I am 20 years of age, and you can call me Eb!
Just like many of you, you decided to make a change in your life.
I have tried to lose weight before, and usually get distracted by the end of the first week.

I've dropped out of college, I can't look for a job, I don't even have the confidence to leave my house.
I do have a boyfriend, he is amazing to me, and very supportive, however I am often too embarrassed by my body to see him.
Our relationship has no fallouts besides my weight, which is holding me back from the people I love.
My mother lives in a different city along with my younger brother, and I haven't seen either of them in 5 months.

I'm tired. . . spending all this time sitting as my life passes me by. I have loans to pay, I want to go back to school, I've messed up so badly and I am only 20, turning 21 in April of next month.

I am not fat from over eating, I eat little, but a lot of the wrong things. Which would put me up around 2500 calories a day, and I cannot imagine what happens when I pull my all nighters watching movies or playing games.

I am 212.8 lbs [96.2 kg] 5' 5.5" [ five foot five and a half inches ]
My goal is to lose 75 lbs. . .
I don't want secret gimmicks to losing weight, or diet pill reccomendations, but workout routines and healthy food options/ recipes are always welcome.
I'm on a high carb, low carb diet [Chris Powell diet]

I have made the decision to lose weight a long time ago, however it has never happened.
I want my jeans to stop rubbing out every few months and I want to wear tank tops without people comparing my arms to their thighs.

I want to be happy, and healthy, energetic and feel as beautiful as people tell me I am.

I am on day two of my weight loss journey.
Add me as a friend. . . to know I'm not doing it alone, and have someone to update to/with will make the process so much easier.
If you wake and and say "hey. I did an hour today!" I'll want to do it too.

Thank you all!
