Hi, I'm trying to get under 200lbs

I just thought that I would introduce myself. I'm 20 and right now I'm at 268 pounds. Around this time last year I weighed around 290, but It wasn't until a couple months ago that I really got motivated to to get in shape. My friend told me about this website a couple days ago and so far I love it.
I hope that while I'm on hear I will lose the weight that I need to loose, make some friends, and learn some new things that will help me keep motivated.

    Hey Kaitlyn,

    I too am working hard to get my weight under 200lbs. I wish you the best of luck on your new journey. MFP can be really encouraging. I'm currently at 208 and have been working at this for a while. Although I'm only 9lbs. away, some days it seems to get harder. I'm just going to continue to have faith that I can do it and so can you. Good luck.
