New here and loving it

Hi all. My name is Melanie. I officially hit 20lbs down today! Starting weight was 235 (and am 5ft 9") and my goal, for now is 175lbs. 160 is optimal, but baby steps. I love MFP and tell anyone I can about it. I love going to the success stories for motivation. My biggest motivation right now is being able to shop in regular sizes again!

    Just logging in to MFP on my phone and religiously tracking every single thing I eat. I am looking at it as a permanent lifestyle change - not a diet.
