in Introduce Yourself
Hello all!
as my ridiculously long title states, I am 24 years old and looking to loose 71 lbs starting out. I am currently 221 and I want to be at least 150. If I loose more great! I have never been fit. so this is definitely a challenge but I am ready to loose the weight and get myself where I need to be. I hope one day I can finally buy me a two piece bathing suit. *fingers crossed* I have never done it so this time next year I plan on being skinny on a beach somewhere or pool with my two piece, :).So please if you want add me, we can do this together!

    I am so pumped guys! Thank you all for adding me/ or accepting my friends request. we can totally do this! I am ready to be healthy because it really truly is a burden having excess weight on you! Its not just about being skinny although that is a strong plus but its really about being healthy! Especially since I have a family history of different things.

    Hi there! my name is Dee. I am almost 72 and find this journaling and tracking really helps me to achieve my goals. I was active all my life in sports, and at this age, the ole metabolism doesn't work as fast. Be faithful to this program, honest with your tracking, and remember it isn't always easy, but it does work. Blessings

    Hi...I'm brand new as well and I need to lose 70+ I am 37 and weigh 268 currently. Since I've been on here I've managed to lose 7 lbs. I've had the lap band procedure almost 2 years ago...and unfortunately loss only 30 and gained it all back. So, i'm trying to track all my food and start working out. I've gotten used to the tracking...but the working out part is still tough...would love to become friends!!

    Hey all, sounds like we are all in a similar situation. Im 38, and I need to lose 70lbs. I just got through breast cancer last year and Ive decided its time to be healthy!!! If I can get through that I can do this...but dang I love food so its not going to be an easy fight. I lost weight while I was undergoing chemo cause I couldnt eat much or I would get sick, and stuff tasted funny, but as soon as I could...I was shoveling in all the things I missed. So now here I sit....

    Hopefully we can all make it to our goals. Good Luck and much love.:flowerforyou:

    I'm 24 as well and am needing to lose just about that amount of weight. My goal is just 160 though, my ULTIMATE being 140 since I'm 5'4". :)
    ETA: You live in the same city as my extended family, lucky!
