New to MFP, need online support to keep up the good work!

Hi all,
My name is Kristen, I'm 28 years old, looking to lose about 20-30 lbs. I always do well when I stick with the calorie counting, but I've had trouble keeping it up!

My short term goals are to keep it up, losing at least a # a week with some upcoming motivators including a trip home in late November and a big trip to New Zealand in February, 2013. And.. I just want my clothes to fit!
Thanks for your support!

    Hi Kristen,

    My name is Emily, and I just filled out my profile and officially got started today too! I'm 31 and would like to lose about 30 pounds. Since January I've lost 12, woot - did it by paying attention to what I was eating, and going on hikes on the weekends.

    I'm starting to exercize more regularly, and would love to connect to support each other! NZ - sounds awesome.

    Good luck on your journey. Calorie counting is a tried and true way to keep your weight where you want it to be. Feel free to add me if you have your diary open to your friends.
