Hello, mfp world!

I'm a 20-year-old female musician. I come from a very overweight family, and although I was rocking a 164lbs weight my senior year of high school, two years of college and a year of mixed weight-packing medicines has left me at my heaviest. At 206 pounds, folks around me gasp and disagree when I refer to myself as "obese", but I know that I can significantly reduce my size and increase my health, even if it does only mean two pant sizes.

56 pounds is a fairly large weight loss goal, and it doesn't help that I can't run a mile and I have the world's worst sweet tooth! This isn't going to be easy!

Who else out there is in this place? I can't be the only one. Strength in numbers, right? We'll hit it together!

    I am in a similar situation. Also 20 and most of my family is overweight. People would also disagree when I say I'm obese, but of course those are my friends. Would love to be of support

    I'm with you! Been at this for about 5 weeks and I went from 226.6 to 214.4 as of today. I have about 55 more pounds to lose, goal weight is 160. You can do this, just stay motivated and use all the tools MFP has to offer. Good luck!
