I am 18 years old heading towards the end of my first year at college. WOOT! I have been overweight for as long as I can remember though my mother says it started when I hit puberty. I began my depressive-binge-emotional eating 3 years ago and have been trying to lose weight for as long as I can remember without much success. I don't have the willpower to stay on restrictive diets. I tried calorie counting before but couldn't keep the diaries. CC.com has really helped me since much of my life is on the computer and its easy to log my calories while studying and in class. (In class right now. professor not here yet. oh there he is!) Since beginning CC.com a week ago I have lost 2 lbs for 5lbs total. I am currently at 218, started at 223 about a month ago. I want to lose 50lbs by September 31, 2008. My mother is motivating me by hanging an XBOX 360 in front of me. If I lose 50 lbs by September 31, I get an XBOX. WHEE MOTIVATION! My greater goal is to be between 130 and 140 by Mar 2009.

Okay, lecture is beginning. *waves*
