in Introduce Yourself
Hey everyone! I'm 21, and was cursed with my mother's metabolism and my father's joint problems. I would love to get back down to a healthy weight and BMI. I'm currently 248 lbs. Ideally, I'd like to get down to 150, but in my dream world, I'll get down to 125. I've been told that an ideal weight range for a 5'6", 21 year old woman is 118-140.

This is my first time attempting to lose weight, and I'm having a real struggle with the motivation part, so if anyone is looking to lose as much weight as I am, please let me know, maybe we can encourage each other!

    Hello and welcome! I just moved away from OKC after living there basically my whole life. I don't miss the heat!

    Hah, I just moved here from New York (after living there from the time I was 2). It's a HUGE change, and the heat is killing me. Thankfully we have a gym membership. There is no way I could force myself to go out and run in this heat. It's 7:30 PM right now and 102 degrees. Blegh.

    But thank you for the welcome!
