I'm 19 years old and looking to lose!  I am 5'3.75" and currently weigh around 145 pounds.  Ideally, I'd like to be about 116 pounds.  I have set my goal for 125 because... and now is where you all make the O_O face, I have not been 125 pounds since I was 12!  I don't actually know if it is POSSIBLE for me to lose more than that but um... that's why I'm here, ne?

I struggle with not eating enough while trying to lose weight.  I have a pretty dangerous mindset about eating that I am trying to turn around, though it is hard. This place has been awesome for support and tips and has helped me achieve weight loss through healthy eating rather than starving and then binging after I lose a few.  This is really a lifestyle change rather than a crash diet - and it's ok with me if the weight doesn't come off in a week or a month or even many months, because I know that I am doing the right things and that if I keep it up I will lose eventually.

Um, what else?  I'm a college student from Philly, and I'm majoring in linguistics (focus - Japanese) and will continue for a master's degree in education.  I adore sports and watch/play whenever I can.  I'm hyper (mild ADHD, doesn't require meds, thank goodness!) and pretty happy most of the time.  I like making new friends so don't hesitate to send a message!
