Hi Everyone, 
I've been looking through some parts of this forum, and I feel like I'm finally at the right place!
I'm a college student, planning to graduate after this fall semester. I weigh 215 lbs/5'6'' right now and I hope to get down to 150 lbs.
Weight never had been a major problem for me until the beginning of this year. Like many of you, I was a happy kid that hung around with good hearted people who don't judge me by weight. However, living in New York has really changed my view on this world. I finally admitted or was led to believe I wasn't normal and became depressed. It wasn't just the weight issue. I had the fear of graduating and having to get a job as well. All these pressures made me see myself as just one ugly useless fattie and I tried to kill myself twice. Now that I'm out of that horrid phase, with help of a lot of people and my new puppy, I decided to lose weight and build some self-esteem and strength to believe in myself. (wow corny, but it's so true..)
I had lost about 40 lbs before, which I gained all back later. So I know if I try, I can make it. It would be easier if I can do it with others so here I am.
Thanks for reading this far, and I'm looking forward to speaking with you guys soon.
