I have been observing your wonderful forum and have decided to dive in as there seems to be such a wonderful variey of people and knowledge and support. :)
I have struggled my whole life with weight and *deep breath* ended up bulimic for 8 years and wound up eventually in treatment (thanks to my husband) but have since packed on the pounds and am determined to get fit the right way this time.
I am 25yr/o, 5'10", and today weigh 215lbs. :(
I have started a 1500 average calorie per day diet and am exercising 3-5x a week.
Since I started 2 weeks ago I've lost 4.5lbs! :)
So to wrap it up I look forward to sharing my journey w/ everyone and already am so inspired by others!
 
Congrats on the weight you have already lost. What kind of exercise are you doing? Welcome to the forum, by the way.
 
Welcome aboard :)

I am glad you are going to go about things the right way this time.

That said, your cals seem a little low.
 
Hi and thanks for the replies:)
I am doing 30 min on the Elliptical + 30 min strength training and/or brisk walking for 4k in the hilly area of town... lots of fun. Rarely do I do both in one day.
I know 1500 calories seems low... sometimes I slip up and go over to 1700; but it seems to be the only way I can get results... still afraid of being fat for another summer. :(
