Allow me...
...to introduce myself.
~I'm from Queens, NYC
~I just turned 30 years old
~I went from 125 pounds to 230 pounds in 7 years
~I love to dance
~I'm a total girlie girl
~I desperately want to get back down to 125 pounds in 12 months
~I started my journey last Monday
~I'm not on an official diet regimen, just eating much healthier, smaller portions and working out frequently
Okay, so that's the gist of me for now! I'm excited to join, and I'm looking forward to reading and posting!
xoxo

You are on your way! Eating healthy, watching portions, and exercising is the key. Make sure to drink a LOT of water everyday, and it's helpful to write down EVERYTHING you eat. It makes you more accountable, and when you hit a plateau (which we all do), you may see a pattern. Welcome and I wish you success!

Nice shoes!
I'm new here, too. I lost about 10 pounds, then it slowed to almost nothing, so I felt I needed some new perspectives, so here I am. I'm not doing any official diet, either - I'm tracking my calories and exercise daily and trying to eat better - just basically keeping track of things, instead of hoping for weight loss to just magically happen.

 Hi Dulce Vida!
It's sounds like you're off to a great start with a solid plan - congrats on your success so far - good luck with your goals - we're all here to cheer you on!
Glad to have you join us! There are lots & lots of different groups and forums - I'm sure you'll find some that will keep you motivated, inspired and entertained! You'll also find info and first hand advice on different plans to help get through the ups and downs.
There are bunches of people here with more to lose and some with less - the bottom line is that we all have to do it a day at a time. The good thing is that we'll have lots of company along the way.
I've only been here a few months myself, having NEVER been part of an online forum. What has been so eye-opening is how much it has helped me. Whenever I feel overwhelmed or defeated, I just log on and read some of the success stories, complete with their before & after photos - or read about others still dealing day to day with their challenges - and before I know it, the time has flown by and so have all the thoughts of cheating or giving up.
So welcome - you've found the right place - join in by inspiring us and being inspired!

I want to thank you all so soo much for the wonderful welcome!! 
Hugs to all of you! 
Already I am finding this site incredibly inspiring. All of you are awesome, and I am grateful for the support!
My main changes have been eating more frequent (but smaller and healthier) meals, working out almost every day (and when I'm not working out that day I do a lot of housework), and only weighing in once week. Weighing in only once a week is a biggie for me, I used to be a slave to the scale. I've decided to focus on how my clothes are fitting rather than the numbers I see on the scale. I hope that helps me!
