I'm 18 years old, and taking a year off before I leave for the university I got accepted into, as an international student. I'm from the Midwest states area, and I'll be going to school for film out of the country. I'm taking the year off so I can get in shape and finally be happy with myself again. I would be stoked to meet people on this site that have the same goals and aspirations. Haha, I'm not really certain what to write here, I'm just hoping that I will meet my goal. I'd like to weight at the most (for a goal): 150 pounds. I'm 5'5"...and I found out that I have 139 lean pounds, so I don't look my weight, which is, disgustingly: over 250 at the moment. I'd settle for losing 100 pounds before next Fall semester. I look about 210ish, I think, but mentally, I feel 300...so basically, I'm tired of pitying myself, and I want to do what I've said I would do for so long: lose weight and be healthy, man!
