Hi everyone!

My name's Danielle; I'm almost 22, and I've got 82 pounds to lose (232/229/150). I'm not on any specific diet plan, as I've found that trying those have lead to a lot of yo-yoing in my weight. Instead, I've decided to keep track of my calories in a food journal and excercise in some form every day. This is the beginning of my second week.

I've got myself a beautiful blue dress picked out from an online store I've always loved (but have been too big to wear anything there), and I've made it my desk top background. I'm hoping that that, a work-out buddy, and a community like this will help me stay on track.

I am determined to wear that dress next Fall and knock the socks off of some boys.

That's a great idea...something you can look at everyday! Good Luck and hope we can all help each other!
