New member
Hello everyone, my name is Samantha. I am 20 years old, 5 foot 7. I started my weightloss process January 17th and was 230 lbs, to now being 158.8 lbs. Almost 72 pounds total. I searched for a website like this so I could talk with others about there weightloss process, struggles and acheivements, and to also share tips with one another, and maybe words of motivation as well. I would love to talk to anyone who is interested. My goal weight was set at 150 lbs, but now I know I want to be 130 lbs, and say I have lost 100 pounds! One step at a time, and I will achieve this. I want to hear what exerises and food plans you are all using to help you along with your journey. Sorry for talking so much I am just so excited and hope I get some feedback and am not writing for nothing lol! :blush5:
 
Hi, you're the same height as me....And by the way congratulations on being 158.8 pounds. You are NOT overweight according to BMI standards! Your BMI is less than 24.9 !! That is a goal I have been striving for, for ages!! I can't wait to get to that point. The great thing about what you are doing is that you are so young and you are starting your adult life at a heathly weight. I did the opposite, I started at a heathly weight and then just ballooned and spent the last 25 years overweight. I wish I would have been as motivated as you are at your age. As we know, at 5 ft 7, even though the BMI lists you as "normal weight", at our height there's still flab so as you say, your goal of 130 is perfect for your age. At my age (45) I set my goal at 142 because well I'm old lol. So, if I get to 142 and find I'm still flabby where I don't want to be, I'll probably reset it to like five pounds less to see what happens. In any case, keep it up girl! I'm right behind you!!
