I've been using MFP for several weeks but never got around to the community forums until now....hi! I'm Sarah, 19, and aiming to lose about 40% of my original body weight (oof). I'm already down about 26 pounds from my peak weight of 249 (I panicked a little at the prospect of reaching 250) and I could definitely use some motivation to keep me going! Feel free to add me and we can get through this journey together.
Also: I haven't had a chance to meet anyone on this site yet, but I just want to be a cheeseball and say I'm already super proud of all of you. Whether you've lost one pound or a hundred, you're here and making a solid effort to improve your life. How awesome is that? Keep it up!

(Aand now I'm off to do my daily cardio workout, woo hoo)
