Hi I'm Tina, I'm 24 yrs old. I've been overweight for what seems like my whole life. I've never been happy with myself thats for sure. And I have tried many times to lose the weight and would start off good and always fall off. I started using this calorie tracker many many months ago and loved it. I fell off of it and gained the weight back. But this time is different. This time I am going to do it. I love this tracker it really helps me alot. I'm definitely looking for others who have around the same amount of weight to lose as I do as well as anybody who wants to keep in touch and keep each other focused. I weigh 272 and I am 5'4". I want to get to 140-135. I've never been that low before but I can do this. I have to for my health and for me because everything in life is perfect but I get so depressed over my weight.
