Hello! My name's Bri, I'm 18 years old and I just graduated high school in May. I'm an artist and going to school for animation next month! I've been struggling with my weight since I was 8 years old. I weigh 189, and I want to get to 160. It's not healthy for me to be this overweight because diabetes is big on my moms side, and they were all very healthy. So I need to really start taking care of myself! I'm excited to start this! I'm really trying to start a new leaf, going to school, finding jobs as an artist, and losing weight! My life has just begun! And I want to start it off on the right foot! So here we go! I'd like to get to know some of you guys too, so if you're interested in a friend just send me a message!

Wish me luck guys!

Bri

    I know exactly where you're coming from. I used to weigh in at about the same weight a few years back (I was about 16) and diabetes also runs in my family. I'm now all the way down to 156 lbs. It took me a while (didn't know what I was doing) but I lost weight. Slowly but I did it. :glasses:

    If I did it I'm sure you can do it too. I believe in you. :bigsmile:

    also I found it more motivational to see how many pounds left to lose vs how many youve lost. that 0 is just so sad looking to me
