    hey I've never written on the message boards but i think we can totally relate. I'm 21 and a college student in NJ. I was fat my whole life obese most of it. I'm 5'7 & 1/2 my high weight was 231 and my low weight was 169. I only got to 169 through bulimia which I am free of now and I've been using MFP to try and do things the right way. So I still have never been skinny. I weigh 185 now and I'd like to get down to 140-150. It's alot easier when you have support I find. Good luck on your goals and this site is pretty great so I know you'll get there!

    Wow Gisela - 80lbs already - that's so fantastic! I'm pretty new to this site/app too, but I love it! It's so easy to use, you know exactly what you are eating, and the folks around here are so encouraging. I also love the way that everybody is so honest about themselves - it's so refreshing. I would also like to say that although you think you are the fat girl in the group, I bet you are the prettiest! Good luck to you! :wink:
