A New Start!

Hey Guys,
I'm a 17 year old Female, about to finish high school and just started taking weight loss seriously. I've been chubby and overweight (according to my doctor) for most of my tween/teen life. At 5'6-7 I'm weighed i at 209 (the weight i've been able to maintain for the longest). And i am DEFINITELY looking to lose about 65. Looking for friends that would possibly love to join the journey, and we could excahnge motivation, tips, ideas, or even just talk! Hehe.
I've been dealing with weight though since i could remember. I've been to a few nutritionist over the years, (mostly when in grade school) and even went to a fat camp. I call it fat camp, but i still went. I recently got diagnosed with Grave's Disease (look up details) so i go excited until i started taking the medication. That made my weight jump about 20 lbs. And after that jump, i started taking losing weight extremely seriously. So serious, to the point i wanted to do something about it that very moment. So I've been working on my motivation and everything for the last couple of weeks. And I'm down to, 206-207. And I'm proud. I know thats only a little, but its a start. My long term goal is to get to 140-145. But my short term goal is to GET OUT OF THE 200's. Seriously.
Pretty much, i would love the company to enjoy the succesful ride to feeling amazing!
