Hey everyone!

My name is Haley, and I was guided here by my friend Beth. I'm only 19 years old and considered "obese" (my weight is only 170 but I'm very short, 5' 1") and I want to make a change. I'm tired of being the fat girl that sits on the sidelines watching everyone else have all the fun! And I'm tired of being unhealthy! I want to live a long, healthy life and enjoy it to the fullest. My goal is to lose 40 lbs. by the end of next school year.

    Hi! I'm 22 yrs older than you and I to weigh 170 and am 5'1". The great thing about your age is that it will come off much more quickly than mine. I'd like to be friends with you. I need someone to keep me going and you and I are in the same boat.
