in Introduce Yourself
Hello! I've been posting around the forums all week, but decided to make my official introduction when I knew I was seriously committed.

My name is James, I'm gay, 18 and from Australia. My starting weight is 108.4kg, and hopefully finishing up at around 75kg.

This isn't my first kick at the can. When I was 16 I lost over 20kg, but life got in the way and here I am, 34kg heavier than I was when I started.

I want to lose weight to be happy, and I joined this forum to find people who are motivating and supportive (people I lack in my day-to-day life). I am always happy to motivate others and be a shoulder to lean (or even cry) on. If you want to talk to someone, never hesitate to add me!

So, let's do this together everybody!

    What made 2015 such a bad year? Either way, 2016 HAS to be better :)

    Oh my goodness, that's so horrible! I am sure that they would not want you to give up on your hopes and dreams, and they're extremely proud of your continued success <3

    I did give up while I was in a terrible funk ...but one day I told myself these 4 people would not want me to give up on myself so I somehow got out of my funk and have been going strong since August
