Just wanted to say Hi, Im new to this and I really want to start a diet program just for my health:happy: ! Im only 19 years old and recently I have put on 15 pounds of excess weight and Im just puzzled as to how quickly I put on the weight and didn't realize it until I stepped onto some scales! I honestly couldn't tell that I had really gained any weight until I hit the scales, boy was I in shock! I used to weigh between 142-146 and im currently at 162 ... Im not really labeled as fat by my friends and family they just say Im muscular looking, but to myself 162 seems a bit over board for me. I've taken my BMI and it states that im overweight so Im really looking to lose about 15 pounds! Wish me Luck! Thanks and I hope to speak to some great ppl on here to encourage me! :glasses:
