I have been dieting (I mean, healthy lifestyling) for 7 weeks now. This morning I reached 25 lb loss (103 more to go) and now I've gotten up the nerve to write my first post.

and congrats on your 25lb loss! That is wonderful!!!

Good luck on the rest of your "journey."

Way to go! Don't be scared to post around here. We don't bite.

Thanks for the welcome! I'm usually a "sit back and watch" kind of person (which is probably why I ended up with this large booty) but it's kind of fun to post and get back such encouraging responses!
