So yeah . . . I registered on a weight loss site to see if i would help me lose weight at all. A lot of the people I surround myself with are in very good shape, but most of them are terrible at reccomending ways to lose weight and don't provide me with the kind of support that I think I need. I'm thinking about joining a gym over the summer and getting a personal trainer for a more hands on approach for the whole thing, but for now I'm relying on the internet for advice.

I'm a dude, 18, turning 19 on the twenty-third, and I've wanted to lose weight for about ... 7-8 years now. Yeah, everything from Middle School to now haven't exactly been *****in' times.

I've been registered on this site for months now, I haven't really committed to using it yet though. Now that the semester at my college is ending I'll have the time to actually try to lose weight ... I know I shouldn't say "try" but instead say "will", but I've been saying that for years now so my confidence has taken a hell of a beating :(
