2012 is more than half over?!

How did that happen? I haven't lost a pound yet... Time to reel myself back in and face reality - the weight isn't going to come off by itself. 'Fad' diets helped me lose 25 pounds, but the weight just crept back up because that lifestyle isn't realistic. I have another half year to do this and I figure MFP can help me! I'm new and anyone who can provide some motivation, has the same weight loss goals {50+ pounds}, or just wants to talk - please please add me! I think being held accountable is my greatest motivator.
