I'm the same height and weight as you so feel free to check out my journal to see what I'm up to. I plan to check back on you and see how your doing - by the sounds of it your on the right track, keep it up! I'm not sure what your highest weight ever was but mine was 224 so I don't call myself fat anymore because that was fat! Good for you doing it when your 20 and not waiting - I wish I would have taken charge of my life sooner - oh well better later than never. Good luck and take care.
