Hey everyone!

I am 24 years old and have recently lost about 15 pounds with about 50 more to go. I have 3 jobs so my workout schedule varies a lot from one week to another. At 2 of my jobs I work on the phone and spend a lot of time surfing the net while waiting for calls to come in, so forums like this are a great way to keep me motivated even if I have to keep my butt glued to the chair!

As of today I am 213 pounds and my next mini-goal is 195 to put me out of "obese" range. In the long term I would like to get down to 160, which would put me in "normal" BMI range for the first time in my life. Hopefully I can do it with the support of all the people on here!

    Can anybody tell me how to set up a signature automatically added at the bottom of my posts? I can't figure it out.

    I think it is under the tab "my home" and then "settings".

    Welcome. I'm a newbie too. So far this site is good. I'm still learning my way around it. I joined the slim fast site also. Good luck to you.
