This is my story. (Looking for friends and tips.)

I've lost the weight. I probably have 5 pounds of just hanging skin (and stretch marks.) I don't mind them because they make me who I am today.

Well, the start to my weightloss story is just like most.. I was finally old enough to keep up with a diet. I was so determined! I thought that in a few weeks I would step on a scale and see that dream weight of 120 pounds. Of course, my dream was totally unrealistic if I wanted a healthy weight loss.
I was tall and wide. Being tall was an excuse for me when I told people my weight but I knew that it was actually a lie. I would eat so much and sit around everyday. At just 12 years old I weighed in at 200 pounds. My heart broke when I saw that number. How could I let myself get to this point? I was going to start crying but I looked around and saw all the women that were once at my point. Beautiful women before and after their weightloss.
It lost the weight gradually. The first week I lost 7.8 pounds!
Two years later I got to 132! Still not my dream weight but it wasn't a bad weight for someone 5'8 (an inch taller since I've started too.)
The stomach aches that I used to get went away.
My doctors were proud of me.
As of this year I am a vegetarian (starting with cutting out red meat. I would like to be vegan eventually.) Also, this year I've been diagnosed with ibs.
I go to the quite often and my ultimate goal weight is 125 or I'd like to have a 24 inch waist. So if anyone wants to share tips/recipes/ be friends then that would be great good luck
