At 19, I should have had some great experiences in my life, but unfortunately all I can remember is feeling uncomfortable with myself. Times in my life that should have been great were spent worrying about what I looked like.

I've been struggling with my weight since the age of 13, and now it's time for me to focus on really getting healthy. I plan to lose a total of 34 lbs, but you never know what weight you'll be happy at until you get there.

At 5'3'', my starting weight is 164 lbs. My bust measures 39'', my waist measures 31'', and my hips measure 43.5''.

After a week following Weight Watchers religiously, I weigh 160 lbs. My bust measures 39'', my waist measures 29.5'', and my hips measure 42.5''.

Good luck to everyone going through the struggle with me!
