Hi! I'm Taylor. I'm fairly new on here (just signed up yesterday) and I've decided to keep a diary of my progress.
I've always sort of struggled with maintaining my weight, even when I was in elementary school. When I started middle school is when I really started packing on pounds and since then I've been gaining around 10 - 15LBS of weight each year. I'm 5'6 and I just turned 17 back in February. My goal is to get down to a healthy weight where I feel good about myself. I also want to learn how to maintain my weight so that way I don't end up gaining more weight in the future and develop serious medical problems. I'm already on medicine for my lipids.
I plan to post my meals, exercise routines, and keep track of my calorie intake. I'm trying not to exceed 1,230 calories a day and I also plan to work out for an hour 5 - 6 days a week.
STARTING WEIGHT: 218 LBS (4/19/2013)
GOAL WEIGHT: 130 LBS
WEIGHT TO LOOSE: 80 LBS

Welcome to the forum! Posting your meals is a great idea--It's a real eye-opener! I'd think I'd had a good day then write down everything I'd eaten and I'd way exceeded my daily limit. 1200 is the absolute minimum--Always try to stay above that!
