Hello, I am 21 years old, 5'5", I love cleaning, I love animals, I love cooking, I love traveling, I love learning and I love meeting people. And more!

I originally was 205lbs.(The largest I have ever been) got nasty lower belly stretch marks, (i have never had children, never been pregnant,) and it really made me sad, I'm young I should be slim, healthy and enjoying life right now!

So recently I lost 25 lbs from Feb-Apr2009, about 8lbs a month, with a trainer and changing my diet and watching my calories closely and going to the gym 4-5X a week(2 days with my trainer), from then on I have kept my weight roughly 180-185, and have been really interested in living a healthy natural way of life, (still learning so don't go on judging me), My goal weight is 140-145.

Since then I have been watching what I eat and trying to stay active, found this website through googling "weight loss motivation", so I hope being on here will give me more courage to keep going! I will post photos of my fat nasty looking self soon after I get my measurements.

My New Years Resolution for Weight Loss: Lose 35 lbs by June(to have a beach body) and get to my goal weight of 140-145 by September.:party:

Please be nice! =)
 
Welcome to the forum! You have come to the right place to meet your goals :) There are a lot of great people on here and a lot of inspiring stories... Are you going to start a journal at all? If you do, I'll make sure to stop by. Take care :waving:

Allow me to welcome you too! There are a lot of similarities between you and I, which immediately intrigued me to stay and read more. I'm 23 and started at a weight close to yours (209 lbs). Though, I am a bit shorter :) Belly stretch marks without ever being pregnant, me too!!

Glad to see you on here and hope to see you often. I think a journal would be a great tool in terms of looking for motivation. I'm considering starting one too, but I haven't had a chance to go through others first to see what they're like. Good luck and take care
 
wish i had more time to come on here!

thanks for the replies and the welcome. im very happy to have found such a positive place! =) i will be posting up a journal entry! =)
