Hi, my name is Julia, and I am on a mission.

I currently weigh 195lbs and I have a goal of loosing 55lbs in the next ten months. Never in my life have I experienced what it feels like to be skinny and to have pride in my body. I have always had confidence in my brains and ability to help other people. However, I have a way of always quitting on myself when it comes to losing weight. I am 5 feet 9 inches tall and I am 17 years old. I have tried weight loss before, even using mfp, and always seem to quit because I am the only one that is accountable for myself. I am hoping that I will be able to find a group of people and to have a mutual support group on here. Well, here goes the next ten months of my life, ready or not, here I go!

Hey Julia! I'm 19, 175 pounds and on a very similar mission. I've been big my whole life (got up to 250 at one point..ugh) and felt a lot of insecurity and shame because of it. Now I'm the lightest I've ever been and absolutely love it, but I'm only 5'5 so I still have a lot of work to do. I'll send you a request so we can hold each other accountable and get to our goals0
