wahaaaayyyyyyy! well im kind of excited to get started, fight this fat ugly person I see in the mirror, and gradually see the REAL me appearing!
I've read some stories and, im one of these girls who has an alright face (average I would say unfortunately!) but as soon as people (guys) look at my fat body, with no shape whasoever (maybe a pear?) they dont take a second look, this has hit HARD on my confidence since forever :'(
but no more, I will be who I want to be, and CONFIDENT

Gym tomorrow, with a friend (Im hoping it will do me good, although shes so slim and sighhh if only, I will be one day is what I keep telling myself)

Good Luck to you all, I will keep you updated!

Hi there. I'm also young (19 and just home from my first year of college), and we also have about the same goal weight.

This is definitely achievable, and you have definitely come to the right place for support and encouragement. WLF served as the backbone to my weight loss a few years back, and when I am posting regularly here is when I'm making the most progress.

Good luck with everything, and I hope that the your trip to the gym will/did go well!

I'll be back to read up on you some more!

Thanks for your support, today i couldnt post because i was really busy, and also i fell off the wagon, and its only day 2!
I need more will power eekkk, but im glad that I completed my 1 hour on the treadmill
Anyway, take care, shall keep you updated

I'm not surprised you fell off the wagon today - under 1200 calories is not nearly enough food for you at your height and weight. You shoudl probably be eating around 1700 or 1800 calories in order to be healthy, especially if you're going to spend an hour a day on the treadmill.
