new year, new me!

[sapphireskies]

Hi everyone! My name is Jessica and I've joined thanks to a suggestion from a friend from work. I am a newbie to your forum here but I'm not new to the weight loss battle. I'm 22 years old and I have been struggling with my weight since the age of ten.

I believe this is the year for me. I finally understand that losing weight is not a quick fix and learning to eat and be healthy is something that I need to impliment for the rest of my life. With that said, I'm looking to lose around 80 lbs. in the next year with a significant amount gone by my birthday which is in September. I think with the right amount of determination, focus and support I can achieve this.

Anyone who is looking for a friend along the way has got one right here and I hope to find the same! I look forward to meeting all of you!

Jessica

Hi Jessica,
I am new also. I have to loose 85 pounds! I just had a baby (two weeks ago) and I am nursing. I have been battling my weight since I had my son (who is four, now). Good luck with the weight loss!
