I am 21 years old. I've been overweight for most of my life and have attempted to lose weight quite a few times, only to gain whatever I lost + some back. As of today, I have about 150 pounds to lose (yikes...) and it feels so overwhelming to even imagine losing so much. It almost seems impossible.

I can't wait to post with you guys.
Welcome!! 150lbs? No sweat! Well maybe a little.

It's easier to shoot for 10lbs at a time instead of trying to tackle all 150 at once in your mind. Weight loss is a lot easier than most people think, and we've gotten a lot of people into a healthier lifestyle that has helped them drop the weight.

Have you figured out how you would like to approach losing weight? Exercise? Eating changes? Both? Any timeframe you'd like to lose weight by?
