Hello all! I just stumbled across this board while messing with iVillage while being bored at work. I am 22 years old, about 5'5, and as of this morning weight 306 pounds! I started at 310.5, though, so things are looking up. I have SO far to go. I was posting on the 3fatchicks.com forums, but I find that there are so many people there that I get confused. This may be the same way, but it's worth a shot. I like having people who understand what I am going through to talk with. Like the other newbie, Melysa, I'm not really on a diet per se. Rather, I'm just trying to not eat crap and am aiming to stay below 1900 calories a day (which I will reduce as I lose weight and hit plateaus). I haven't started exercising yet, but a gym membership transfer is in the works, so I will be able to soon (just moved a few months ago).

Just wanted to say hi, introduce myself, and get to know some people here!
