View attachment 13675So I'm starting my journey-to-skinny TODAY. I've never been the skinny girl but now I'm the FAT girl and something's gotta change. I'm a 5th year senior in college so the college-town food has gotten the best of me. I think the college lifestyle has made it extremely hard for me to keep on track with a healthy lifestyle but I'm determined to make it work this time. My love affair with alcohol has ended, and I really don't even miss it so there goes one challenge. Now, on to diet and exercise! I'm at a whopping 225lbs right now, and although people say I carry it well I think it's disgusting. My goal is 130 but I know I could be happy around 150.

Any tips, comments or motivation is GREATLY appreciated!

I started at 225 lbs this May, and I'm about half way to my goal of 130 now.

The main advice I would give you is to cut out all junk food and eat only healthy food, don't have even a little bit of junk because you will always run the risk of overeating which you must be to have gotten to 225. Also work out but don't go overboard because you can injure yourself as I did when I started doing 3 hours of cardio every day at a high weight. Start with low impact workouts like walking and swimming. Do resistance training, but initially be careful with things like lunges and squats because weighing as much as you do you can hurt your knee.
