Hmmm...what to say here?  I've topped out at 227 lbs @ age 24.  I'm ready to get rid of the excess and for good.  I joined CC because I've been using the calorie counter on here for a few months and recently started reading posts in the forums and really liked that there are soooo many people in the world who are just like me and trying soo hard to lose weight.  It's a really great motivational tool and the success stories are super inspiring!!!
