Hello everyone. My name is Meagan. I am 21 years old. I have lived in Texas my whole life. I sing and play the piano in church. I was an only child until I was about 13 years old. My parents had divorced and both got remarried and had other kids. Between the two of them I have 3 brothers. All alot younger than me. I saw this website in a magazie and decided to join since no one else around me seems to want to change there lifestyle. Just a few weeks ago my dad was diagnost with diabetes. And I am determined to do whatever it takes not to become like that. I do not want to have health problems at a young age so I am going to face this head on. I have a goal set in mind. That goal is to lose 80 to 100 pounds by Christmas. And at least 40 to 50 pounds by September. I feel like that is a goal that can be accomplished. I am looking forward to the change in my life. And I hope I can be an inspiration to others in my family with weight problems.
