About me: Hi all. My name is Katherine. I am a 23 year old full-time student. I weigh 267 lbs and stand at 5'8. I have been struggling with my weight since middle school. I was always the biggest in my class although I was always proportionate....until now. My aunt snuck and took a pic of me at my sisters birthday party and just brought copies of them over today. Needless to say I was stunned at the way I actually look. I guess the mirrors have been fooling me. I immediately went online and used a BMI calculator that informed me that I am morbidly obese. I must do something now. Tommorrow will be day one. My goal is to lose 50 pounds. I am not quite sure what a good timeframe is for that much weight, but I would like to do it at least by March. *(7mo)
