hi everyone! As stated in my title, I am new to this site but am really glad that that i just happened to stumble upon it!
Basically, my story is that I have had weight issues my whole life and am sick of it. Previously, I have lost alot of weight, but since I did it in an unhealthy way, I ended up gaining it all back and then some. And now, at the heavest that i've been in my enitire life, I truely see how the weight is affecting both my life and health in ways that it hasnt before. So, I decided having a place where everyong is so supportive and we all have a common issue would help motivate me to start leading a healthier lifestyle. Its amazing, reading through comments, how kind and supportive evertone is! And seeing pictures of people who have reached their goals..its just amazing what diet and exercise can do, both to the body and the way you feel. I know that I have a long way to go, but I believe that I can and will reach my goal this time, no matter how long it takes!
 
You're right, this is a great site for encouragement and motivation. Welcome aboard!

How old are you... how tall... and what are your plans as far as diet and exercise?
 
Thanks for the welcome!
I am 21 years old and 5'7'' in height. My plans, as far as diet goes, is to cut out the junk foods and stick to a low-calorie diet...any tips or ideas to add to this? and for exercise, ideally would like to get 30-45 mins of cardio 5 days a week. How does that sound?
 
Welcome aboard. :)

My "tip" is to read the stickies b/c they're littered with tips.
 
Hello and welcome! :D :D This is definitely a great place for support and motivation. I wish you luck on your journey!
 
Welcome Belle!

If you need advice and general support, this is the place for it. I think that I would still be in shape if I hadn't dropped out of this community, to be perfectly honest. That's why I'm back now. It's definitely a great group of people.

It's easier to jump on the bandwagon and stay there if someone's hand is there to help you up. :D

Any questions, feel free to ask.
