I haven't been taking care of myself lately. I am 21, a student, and I am 30-50 lbs overweight. It is hard to breathe sometimes, and I would also like to be able to fit into my clothes. Instead of having love handles, and feeling inactive and tired during the day. I hope to make some friends here who are experienced and can help me along the way. Thank you for taking the time to read this!View Thread

All I want to say right now is good Lord!!!! I'm so afraid to step on the scale! LOL! Currently, I am 50 lbs overweight and my BMI is 27.2. I am 5'10" and 21 years of age. I have been thinking about MOVING!! and doing something about it but I recently got a cold and have been feeling quite yucky. However, I hope to start running this summer. I am also aware that I am prone to many chronic diseases since it runs in the family. I have decided to go out for a little jog if you will tomorrow morning

I am going to be honest, I do not really have a good habit of drinking 8 glasses of water per day. I used to track my food but I have also lagged behind in that section as well.
Thanks for your encouragement! I went for a walk and did a bit of cycling
. Just showered!Breakfast & the day begins!
All the best for your journey! and Thanks again for the tips!View Thread

...Thanks for being brave! and sharing your journey!
Be encouraged to continue walking! I walked to school during
my school year and I didn't even realize how much weight I had lost until I came home (I was away for school). But I gained about 7 lbs since coming home. However I am not giving up easy, I am going out tomorrow morning!
..All the best! Keep up the great effort! and stay committed! You are going to make it!
