Ht. 5'7", Start: 194 lb, Today: 194 lb (BMI %tile: 95), Goal: 147 lb - I've been struggling with my weight all my life and have gained ten pounds over the last few months, putting me into the obese category :( My BMI is 30.4 and I'm thirty pounds overweight, but one day I would like to get down to 147, which means losing 47 lbs. I've a long way to go but I know I need to do this, I'm not happy with my appearance and also I'm scared of the health risks - I need to lose a lot of weight around my belly, it's 43 inches atm which I know is dangerous. I really want to lose weight as I'm starting college and want to be healthy and confident... it would be nice to have a motivational mate to email most days etc around the same age, male or female, with similar weight loss goals... I think it would help me stay on track. Comment if you're interested!
