My name is Heather. I am 23 yrs old and today is my first day here! I have been overweight since about 12 yrs old. I am here to make a lifestyle change. I am a Restaurant Manager so this will be challenging. I rarely exercise so I am going to try hard to fit that in as well. I currently weigh 250 lbs and I am looking at a long term goal of 140.

    Hello! I am new at this too! I have similar goals. I weigh according to the scale today, 248. My goal weight would be 150. I also use to work in restaurant management and I know the temptation! I have been overweight since about 13 and I am now 31. So a lifetime of yo-yo dieting and low self-estem. I wish you luck, but I think you can do it.

    Welcome Heather. This site is great. It really helps in making better food choices but you have to log things. It also helps in making better food choices because you can check out the calorie content of things you're considering eating and then make an informed choice. The people on the site are great - funny - helpful- cheerful and highly motivational. Check out the success stories they are fantastic.Good luck!
