Hey Utterly Absurd -
A couple spots you may want to check out. First, our Calorie Counters forum would be a great start. We have lots of people who "Zig Zag" calories there. Head on over.
You may also want to look at the 20-somethings forum.
One tiny piece of advice - I really try not to set time-based weight loss goals. The reason? Lets say you get -close- to your goal by the date you've set. Thats a TON of progress. But some...a LOT...of women feel like they "failed" because they didn't meet the time based goal.
I like goals based on things like exercise minutes (which is my monthly goal, even now in maintenance), healthy choices, on plan days, etc. The fact is, we can do everything right and sometimes the scale won't cooperate. So setting goals outside of the scale can really help.
Can't wait to see you around.
