Hello all!


My name is Mel and I am 23 y/o. Last year I went off a medication and began my career in the REAL world! Needless to say, that was a recipe for disaster weight wise..

I gained about 14lbs in 6 weeks!!!!!!!! :noway:
From there I fluctuated between a few pounds until I decided in Feb to do something about my weight.

I have not weighed myself yet but I posted a start pic when I was around 165 lbs this past summer (black and white dress) and then a recent picture from last weekend at a gala I attended (green dress).

I look forward to meeting/talking to everyone and contributing my .02 to the message boards! I have probably lost about 15 lbs since I started in Feb., but I have goals to lose about 20lbs more!


Hope everyone has a great day!

xo,
Mel
