I'm relatively new

Hey everyone, My name is David and I'm 20 years old. I started off at 257 pounds, and I'm now down to 248 after a month of diet and exercise. My ultimate goal is to lose 100 pounds by summer of 2013. I've been overweight for as long as I can remember but I finally feel like I'm at the age where I can really stick to a weight loss plan. I guess I'm just looking for motivation and some online friends who are in the same kind of boat as me to encourage each other. Thanks!

    Welcome?

    Are you sure you didn't mean 248? :wink:

    :laugh:

    I was thinking you'd probably get LOTS of Friend requests if you had managed to lose 100+ pounds in a month, though.

    Congrats on the weight you did lose! That's awesome.

    I wish you good luck using this site, and in your weight-loss in general.
