My name is Jessi. I ran across this website looking for a BMI calculator on google. I just turned 24 on the 21st and want to start working on myself. All throught life I've put others needs ahead of my own. I am currently 210 lbs. and decided enough is enough. I have always struggled with my weight but this is the first time I have been over 200. In my teens I bounced from 160-175 lbs. but never touched 200. I weighed myself for the first time in 4 years the other day and all but hit the floor. Of course my b/f said it's all in my chest, which is a running joke with some friends of mine, in an attempt to make me feel better. They aren't huge but they are big. But we have been discussing marriage and children and all that and I want to be healthy before I decide to have a baby. My health and lowering the risk with pregnancy by being a healthier weight are my motives, but the looking good in a bathing suit, or being able to find cute clothes is a plus too...lol...Look forward to meeting some new friends on here.
