New Girl In Town

So I've hit a breaking point and got booted over to this site by a friend of mine.
This morning I weighed in at 240 lbs which absolutely devastated me. I was a ballet dancer for thirteen years so to see any number that high on the scale makes me so unhappy.

But it also made me determined to lose weight. 100 lbs to go. Let's do this!

Hi, Welcome. I don't know if you have ever dieted before but if you have, you will be so happy that you have found this site. It is so much better for weight loss than the so called dieting. I love it. I can actually eat real food and still lose some weight. It is so easy to use. It does work and it will work for you. I do enter my food before I eat it because it helps me not go over on my calories, ect. If I mess up with chocolate like I did this morning, I can make up for it some where else. You really don't have to torture yourself on this site. Good Luck!

I'm in a similar boat. Once you get that smack in the face, the motivation comes more easily. Mine came in the form of a photo of me. I'm hoping the "community" here will help out.
Add me if you need a friend.
Either way, always remember why you're doing it... and I wish you luck.

This is more for me, but these are some photos to put things into perspective
I used to be a model - these shots were taken right before I quit because I thought I was too fat.
