New here from DE looking to lose another 96 pounds

Ok, I just typed my life story and accidently erased it. So let me shorten it up a little so I don't drive myself mad.

Hi, I'm Melissa, I'm 17 (18 in June), and overweight. Yeah, by a lot. My goal weight is 120 by next summer, I'm currently at 216, and my highest was 230. I was born big and was raised on the rule "If you're hungry, eat". Which I did. Also I jumped 40lbs in the hospital when I was bed ridden for a month when I was 9, jumping from 80lbs to 120, and have been climbing ever since.

2 questions I'm hoping you can help me with.

1. Is reaching 200 by June 25th achievable if I'm at 216 right now?
2. With massive weight loss, I'm young, as you already know, but I'm deathly afraid of hanging skin. Has anyone young on here dropped a massive amount of weight and had a problem/had everything go back into place?

Any advice is appericated. And good luck everyone!

Hey Melissa, and welcome! :D

1. Losing 16lbs from now until June 25th, with diet and exercise sounds achievable to me.

2. That's one of my fears too :( (I'm 20), soooo... I hope someone else can help us with that! :)

Again, welcome! And best of luck to you!
