New to dieting and this website. I'm 22 years old, 226 lbs, 5'5" and looking to get to be around 115-120. Just looking to make some new friends who have the same goal so we can motivate each other.

    Hey and you found the right place! I've been logging for a few years now and found nothing but unbelievable people here who want nothing but to see you (and everyone) succeed! Remember - log in everyday! The people who a) think of it as a diet - not a lifestyle change, and b) only log in the good days usually disappear!

    Make friends and make your journey public! Be proud! You took a HUGE step in coming here and starting it off right!

    Thank you, Steve. I definitely realize that this is a lifestyle change and I am going to log in every day. I also saw someone else had a Food Diary in their signature which I have already made an account for so starting tomorrow I am going to keep track of everything I eat plus my exercise. I am so excited to start this journey, and share it with everyone here. :)

    Welcome!! I am 22 as well and weigh 226 also. So maybe we can work on this together. It's nice having as much support as possible.

    Welcome you will enjoy this website and the relationships that you will build that will be the biggest cheerleaders that you ever had! One of the things that I like is because a lot of the restaurants are in the database, if I am going out for dinner I can pull up for example PF Changs and think about my workout activitiy and make a healthier choice as a result of having the information. You can add me as a friend if you would like and I wish you the best!

    Thank you succeedin2 and that is very good to know about the restaurants! I'm already loving the people on this forum! I'm on another one as well and this is just a totally different atmosphere. So far everyone is full of nothing but encouragement, and isn't that what we need to succeed!?
