Newbie... about 20lb too heavy

Options
Hello,
I'm 23 and I've been about 20lb overweight forever... seems like it's time to sort that out. I joined about a week ago. So far I've been missing a worrying amount of meals, oddly not a normal thing or as a result of trying to save calories, just got really busy recently. I guess that's life as a postgrad for you.
Anyway, just thought I'd say hello, and if there are any other people out there in a similar situation I'd love it if you said hello back. :)

It's a great website to keep you motivated and conscious about all your efforts. The people on here are very helpful, with tips, and great advice. I wish you all the best on your weight loss journey.

    Welcome to MFP, I am too new. It seems like the weight just isn't coming off fast enough! However, I do feel alot better and do have lots more energy. Hang in there!
