Hi, I'm a 20 year old student who has always been overweight, and have been dieting on and off for 2 years, started seriously about a year ago, with a couple months along the way. I hope to lose another 20-30lbs or so.

This is me when I was about 18, not exactly the prettiest site. I was around 270lbs here.

    1st of all congrat's on the weight loss. It will be life changing for you! Are you getting in some weightlifting? Now is the time you can build some serious muscle, you should add it or continue with what you've got started. You will thank yourself at 40 for living a healthy productive lifestyle, because the body you have at 40 is the body you created Goodluck:smile:

    Thanks so much for getting the pictures up scharmainedra!

    And thanks for all the lovely replies everyone, I'm normally not one to get involved much but have been lacking motivation and wanted to do something to boost it, this has certainly worked :)

    To Supermodelchi, I have been, only problem is I have no access to free weights so have only been using machines at the gym, I'm getting a barbell and bench for christmas though so I hope to get serious about it.

    Thank you Rena:) There is so much inspiration on this site, looking back now I'm amazed at how easy it's been just by counting what I eat.
