Hey everyone,

I am a 22 year old college student going for my Bachelors degree with a major in Computer Science and a minor in Business Admin, originally from Delaware but I'm now I'm living in PA. I am 6'1" and I am now hovering between 190 and 195 because I'm back at college and eating dining hall food. However, I am loosing fat and reshaping my body by walking 4 miles 3-4 times a week. At my highest weight I was 215 (Down about 25lbs, YES!) and I want to get down to 165(20lbs to go and 10lbs less then my average HS weight).

I finally decided to loose the extra weight I gained in my freshman year of college when I saw the picture of me sitting down and stuffing my face with ice cream. I realized that my height could no longer disguise the extra 50lbs that I had (I was starting to get a spare tire). I know it didn't look as bad as I thought it did (I'm very hyper-critical of myself), but all the things that I had shrugged off before were suddenly making sense. I developed asthma my senior year of high school and it was progressively getting worse and worse to the point where I hospitalized because of an asthma attack (that was scary stuff). I was also getting winded just walking to and from class. It was ridiculous. I didn’t want to see what would happen if I gained any more weight so I decided to get rid of it.
