in Introduce Yourself
I signed up for "my fitness pal" and although I just started tonight, I was hoping to get to know other community members a little better. It's always easier to lose weight when you have that support that's available to you and others to inspire you throughout your journey. A little information about me:

- I'm a college student, rising 3rd year student
- I'm 19 going on 20 years old
- CW is 217
- 1st GW is 160
- UGW is 140
- this is going to be a long road, but much longer without the support

I hope that anyone reading this is willing to friend me and follow me in this journey and we can inspire each other in the process! :)

    You're young with a youthful metabolism. I'm sure you can do it. Start now making healthier choices,and you will be so glad when you are older because you likely won't have the health problems that others have in later years. This is an opportunity for you to develop good habits. Remember, this the ONLY body you will ever have, so take care of it. I know you can do it! Go girl!

    Welcome! I just joined the community recently as well, about a week ago, and it has been a great help. MFP is an awesome site. I'm also a college student, going on my fourth year. Best of luck reaching your goals! :D

    You all are welcome to add me, I just started but have been pretty active with posting motivational quotes and giving advice. There's no reason why any of us can't reach our goals, unless we allow ourselves not to.
