in Introduce Yourself
I joined a few months back, got stressed out with my life, had a lot going on, and basically the site was the last thing on my mind.
So I am going to try again!

Im starting : November 1st 2011
I am 275 lbs.
I want to lose 140lbs in 12 months.
I want to lose the weight, but I also want to really tone and gain muscle after, so as long as my body looks good and is healthy, the number may be higher because of muscle.

I'm 18, will be 19 in 29 days!
I don't drink - so that wont be a challenge.
I did a month of college, and dropped out because of my rez roomates - Rez is NOT for me!
So now Im back home, so I figure I may as well do something productive, and becoming healthy sounds good to me!

Ill post lots of pictures along my journey.

Add me if youd like, and feel free to post your story here to!

    I'm trying to pull myself back into serious weight loss mode today too.

    I lost 100 lbs. 3 years ago, with diet and tons of walking, then I let myself get lazy and quit the exercise... I never actually reached my goal weight. I joined this site in September to try and fix that. I'm trying to lose 45 lbs, hopefully before Spring of next year.

    Good luck with your weight loss!

    Good for you! You're post is what I needed this morning because I decided to retry this thing after chasing after other weight loss programs like a puppy chasing butterflies! I'm adding you and will BELIEVE that we can both stay motivated! :happy:

    At my heaviest I was 135Kg and I managed to get down to 69Kg a few weeks before my wedding. I have since had a baby, and am now on the road to losing 10 kg. I dont have much to lose compared to others, but motivation received from honest and caring people is hard to find.
