in Introduce Yourself
Hello Everyone,
I joined about 2 weeks ago and have been addicted ever since. I started p90x at the beginning of January but then gave up shortly after since I felt I was getting no where. Since finding this site I've kept up with exercising almost daily, if not at least 5 times a week. I find even doing something small like walking home from school to be at least beneficial.
I'm a 4th year nutrition student at University, and I always thought that I tried to eat healthy, but clearly not enough. I don't want to be the fattest class member any longer, especially since I feel like I'll be judged if I ever go to find a job and I'm not thin.

At the beginning of January I weighed around 198-196. And now I'm at 189-187. My goal weight is 130 to be a healthy BMI range.

I don't see much of a change since January even though I tried really hard, but I've lost about 3 pounds since starting 2 weeks ago on here, so I'm hoping this will help even more!

Here's my technical before picture (Beginning of January):

And Here's what I look like as of today:
