Hello, I'm Elle. 
(That's part of my username, the 'lyric' part is because I write song lyrics.) Well, I stumbled upon this forum today and decided I would join..I would like the support and advice. I don't want to do this alone.
So, I'm currently at 219 lbs. I am exactly 6 feet tall. My goal for now is to get down to 160 lbs, so I want to lose about 60 lbs.
I'm working to cut bad things from diet, use portion control, and will begin to keep a food diary. But...my problem with trying to lose weight is that if I skip even one meal, I get very sick - I get a monster headache, very shaky, sweaty, weak, extremely hungry, and just feel terrible from not eating like every 4-5 hours. If I start to feel like that, I drink some OJ or a soda or I eat a candy bar, and soon the symptoms completely go away. I'm not sure what is, really..and I have only told one person about this, so nobody in my family knows. I'll just have to deal with it while loosing the weight, I suppose.
I could really use some exercise tips and workouts that can be done at home without fancy equipment. That'd be so helpful to me!
Well..thank you..I'm really looking forward to meeting people and starting to lose weight..I'm ready for change, I'm ready to be truly happy..
