Joining the community

Hi! I'm Sweetshine7 on My Fitness Pal. I'm determined to log in consistently. I know when I'm accountable to myself, I have better results. I also thought that connecting with others on this community might help me too. I want to lose 20 pounds. I've been trying for years with little success. I feel the need to get myself in better shape. Who out there wants to trade some encouragement and support for encouragement and support?
