Hi everyone.
I've been quietly losing weight on my own for the last 6 months by making very small and easily manageable lifestyle changes. I have lost 25lbs, and gone from a size 12/14 to a size 8. originally, this was my goal but now that I'm feeling a lot more healthy (and happy) I see no reason why I can't lose another 20. I'm going back to college next month and will need a little extra push to stay on track.
I'm hoping this website will help keep me focussed and motivated on making healthy decisions, and maybe I'll learn a few things from other members success!

Hi everyone.

I have gone from 175lbs to 149lbs, and a size 12/14 to a size 8. originally, this was my goal but now that I'm feeling a lot more healthy (and happy) I see no reason why I can't lose another 20.

Wow! That is great. You can do it and this is a great resource you definitely want to take advantage of. There are lots of great people who have been successful on this journey and can give GREAT advice. Welcome!0 -
Good job ! Keep up the hard work
It is awesome to meet your goal & keep it going with a new goal. I'm new on here as well, set me a goal of 25lbs. If & when I meet it, i wouldn't mind losing another 10lbs or so.
I will for sure you send you a request!0 -
Great job! Thanks for the inspiration to keep going!0
