Hello everyone. I have made a few posts here and there but I mostly lurk. I have decided it is time to make an intro post. I don't quite have 100 pounds to lose so I am hope I am welcome here.
I am 23, married just over a week, a student, and a "furparent" to 4 cats. I am here because I want to lose weight, become healthier, and boost my self esteem. I have 5'3" and weigh 198. I would like to get down to a healty weight which from what I have read is between 107 and 140 pounds. I would love to get down to 140, and see how things are at that weight.
My biggest problem is snacks. I eat really healthy meals and then eat bad snacks and blow all the good food I have eaten.
I want to have more energy and stop being tired all the time. I want to feel better about the way I look. Right now, I am a size 16-20 depending on the brand of clothes. I just bought new shorts and they were a 1x, ugh.
I am ashamed of weighing this much. I am a nutrition student, I know I am hurting myself and I know what I am doing is bad and I really want to change. I want to be healthy and I want to feel that I look good, which I don't right now.
So that is me.

Hey there and welcome to the board.
I have a huge problem with wanting to nibble all day on all sorts of junk food. A chocolate here, a cake there.. and it can really add up in the calories. Did you try to journal what you eat? Sometimes when I know I am putting it in my journal and writing down the calories I just say it's not worth it.
Also try throwing out all the junk you have.. if it's not there you can't eat it right? And keep some healthy snacks around you.. this may help.
Good luck in your journey.. I"ll be looking forward to your posts
Aiming at my
Welcome aboard, and good luck!!
