I'm a 21 year old female college student looking to get in the best shape of my life. With a family history of type 2 diabetes, I know how important it is that I check my weight now before it messes up my life later. I also want to lose weight in order to look good for my future job market, and so that I can have home births when the time comes.

I started Fat Secret on January 1st, and lost about 25 pounds in the first two months. So far the weight loss hasn't been too terrible, and I'm happy to say that this is the first time I've ever felt like I could do this for the rest of my life. Diets are stupid, but life changes are good.

I reached my goal weight of 180 in about 5 and a half months. However, the pounds have just kept coming off, and it will be really exciting to see just how low the scale can go!
