in Introduce Yourself
My name's Angelica. I'm a 23-year-old college student. I've always had trouble with my self image whether it was because of my leg braces when I was little or my weight now. I weigh 166 lbs and am 5'5". I'm hoping to get down to at least 130, but my ultimate goal is to tone up and just be healthier in general. I want my body fat to be minimal. I joined this community to perhaps gain some encouragement because I'm too embarrassed to admit this to my friends.

    First of all, WELCOME to the community :flowerforyou: . This is a great place to be. I have thoroughly enjoyed this site and the support that I get from my "pals". I also give the same amount of support in return. This site has made it fun for me because I am now excited to see everyone's progress as well as reporting my own and I don't feel embarassed about it because we are all striving for healthier, leaner lives.

    Please add me as a "pal" and I can hopefully be the gentle nudge that you need to get this thing started :wink:

    I work at a university and got one of my student workers to join yesterday. She too is looking for support and I thought with you two being college students, you could relate to each other. She just posted her intro a few moments ago. Her username is BooksnBikesBeauty.

    Hi Everyone! Im new to this site as well; only joined today but Im so excited, Ive sent this MyFitnessPal to many of my colleagues and friends. I live in NE Ohio, 5'5", weighing 130 lbs but Ive always been 120 lbs my entire life and this extra 10 lbs is a misery for my self esteem. I feel uncomfortable and less confident. I wish everyone the very best. I hope we can keep each other encouraged! Onward to our goals :)
