in Introduce Yourself
I'm really bad at talking about myself, so my introduction will be quick:

30/f here from British Columbia, Canada. I've been overweight my entire life and something finally just clicked in my brain... my ambition, goals, and determination to lose weight were completely focused. I started at 197lbs about 20 days ago, and I'm currently down to 188lbs. The past couple of weeks have been a bit of a struggle (gained .8lbs over the past week!), but I am determined to do this.

I love the thought of having support from such a great community, and seeing all of your before/after photos are probably the biggest inspiration of all. There are some incredibly strong people here, and I hope that surrounding myself with this kind of strength will be an inspiration as well.

Feel free to friend me, I can use all the advice/encouragement I can get! =)

Thanks everyone!

(Sidenote, I've been trying pretty hard to find a current "before" body photo, but I've been pretty stealthy at avoiding cameras it seems!)

    I'm in the same place as you. I've always wanted to lose weight, but in the past couple weeks, something really clicked. I've been on this site for a long time, but had never read the forums or really utilized all the resources. It is really inspirational, and putting all my goals out there will make me more likely to stick to them (I hope)!

    Amazing start to your weight loss (wonderful what people can do when they decide it's time) and good luck!
