Hello! Starting out

Hi Everyone,

I'm new here, I'm from Canada, 29 and a student. I have found myself a bit overweight. My heaviest was 193. I'm now at 166; but I've been sitting there for almost a year. I'm 5'8 and I'd like to get to 145-150. I'm going on a big trip in June and don't want this "extra luggage" coming too!
Thanks
Jen

    Hello Jen, I'm Vanessa from the UK and I should be working right now. I'm 41, and need to lose about 24lb. Been on here before and lost 4 stone, but went off for 7 months and I'm back again recently. Good luck, you'll find plenty of help and support on here :-)
