in Introduce Yourself
Hello!!
sooo I'm a little big for my liking, especially going into University this September. I want to feel confident as I start this new life, but I am no where near "confident" yet. My thighs touch, I have a muffin top with EVERYTHING, and I just feel miserable about my body. I lost a bunch of weight two years ago, but gained almost all of it back pretty quickly.
I'm hoping I can do this! I want to dedicate my summer to achieving the person I want to be for the rest of my life! I want to be confident and happy with myself. It's not about the number on the scale, I just set a rough goal.
Anywaaay, that's me :)

    Welcome! And like sla0814 said, you definitely came to the right place! Everyone here is so awesome and helpful, it's amazing!

    As far as even more inspiration goes, have you heard of the show I Used to be Fat that was on MTV this past winter? It chronicled a group of graduating high school seniors losing weight and basically changing their lives before they started college in the fall.
    I'm done with college and in grad school now, but seeing them working really hard and being successful definitely helped to kickstart my motivation!

    Good luck, and feel free to add me if you like!
