Hello everyone 
My name's Aeryn - I'm a 26-year-old media student from Australia. I've had issues with my weight since my teens, and I've finally decided I've had enough. I'm fed up with being restricted to plus-size clothes.
So here's my aim - to lose 50 kilograms (110 pounds) by my 28th birthday, at the beginning of June next year. I currently weigh 111 kilograms (245 pounds), the lightest I've been since last August. An intermediate goal is to be able to fit into a size 16, which will mean I can kiss the plus-size section goodbye at long last.
I look forward to getting to know you all

Welcome to FitDay and the forums.
Losing over 100 lbs seems almost impossible, I know, but I'm here to tell you it really isn't.
If you commit, and it sounds like you have, you CAN do it! Decide on your eating plan, figure out your daily calorie burn and what you want to run for a daily deficit and use FitDay to log everything without fail. Get in some exercise, drink lots of water and it will happen.
There are a couple of 100+ to Lose threads here (one in the Women Only subforum and one in Weight Loss Tips) if you want to talk to others in your situation. If you have any questions or would like advice, please don't hesitate to ask.
Regards,
Michael
