New Member --- 27, 5'3", 217.6lbs

I am a new member and am looking for some support, suggestions, etc.  I am 27, 5'3", and 217.6lbs.  I am looking to lower my weight and be healthy.  I will be getting married in April 2009 and would like to make some significant health/weight changes by the end of the year.  I have some personal support, but extra is always welcome ;)

Welcome to Calorie Count, we're happy to have you.  The tools on this site can help you make this a new/healthy lifestyle rather than just a diet.  Trust me when I say, you are not the only person with your stats -- many folks share both your stats and your goals.

Congratulations on you future wedding plans -- there are several forum threads that might suit you -- check out the this on in the Motivation forum in particular, and I believe there is a Challenge on-going in the Games and Challenges forum.  Click on those links and you should go to the threads.

If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to ask,
