My name is Melissa. I'm 19 years old, and have recently decided that it is time to lose this chub that I've carried around for several years. I'm good at hiding it, i suppose, but now that I've seen pictures of the summer and my endless line of disappointing bikini photos, AND my boyfriend is going off to boot camp shortly, I feel the need to trim and tighten up my stomach area. Hopefully I can look here for support and inspiration. I look forward to getting to know you all!
