Hey everyone,

Well, It's pretty obvious that I'm new here . I'm really happy that I found this forum, everyone seems very friendly and I feel like I'm not the only one in the weight loss world. I'm normally a very shy person, so doing this is a big step for me.

Now to introduce myself...

My name is Brittney, I'm 15 years old and my 16th birthday is in September. My goal is to lose a lot of my weight before my next birthday, since I would love to look and feel better for it.

Any suggestions where I should start on here?

Welcome to the community.

I would start by making a journal and telling us a little more about yourself. How do you plan on going about your weight loss? How much weight do you have to lose? Those kinds of things.

Look forward to learning more about you.

Hi brit Welcome to the forum! This has been a great place for me and the people here are so nice and friendly and helpful There are a few websites which are nice for keeping track of your progress: fitday.com and sparkpeople.com . They both do the same thing in different ways and I have heard sparkpeople is more user friendly but I love fitday for myself. Good luck and congrats on taking this step
