Hey guys...just wanted to say HELLO and that I'm excited to be using this site to help me lose weight! :smile:

I started my weight loss journey in December of last year when I looked in the mirror and hardly recognized myself anymore. Since then I've lost 25 pounds but put a few back on...so I decided to join myfitnesspal to help keep me in check.

I will be updating my DIET & WEIGHT everyday and updating my MEASUREMENTS every 2 weeks. Hope you'll be my friend and check out what I'm doing - because last time I logged everything I ate I lost the weight FAST! I also exercise daily...I love Pilates and Dance cardio classes. I work the front desk at Healthworks gym in Boston and I get a free membership which is nice :)

I'm a singer/songwriter in my last year at Berklee College of Music and when I graduate in May I will be moving to LA to look for a songwriting, modeling, and acting job. I love being in the spotlight and I'm ready to get back there again and be TRULY HAPPY with the way I look!

- Jourdan

p.s. I have been into fitness so much lately that I want to get my credentials to become a Personal Trainer! I have been studying for a few months now and am learning a lot. If you need any extra help, motivation, or suggestions, please let me know and I'll see if I can help you :)

    Thanks so much guys for your support! I lost TWO POUNDS since yesterday morning because I drastically changed the type of foods I've been eating. Yesterday it was all natural foods and I actually ate my exercise calories! I think eating MORE calories when I exercise is going to help me in the long run and is something I never did before. I was probably eating only 800 net calories a day and that's why I was at a plateau!

    NIce to meet you all :)
