newbie, need some friends :)

Hello everyone! I am going on a cruise in 9 weeks and its just the motivation I need to get my butt in gear. I'm hoping to lose 15-20 lbs before I leave. Hopefully this is a somewhat realistic goal. A bit about my weight rollercoaster...I'm 5'2 and currently weigh 175. I would like to weigh about 130. I'm a naturally curvy girl and at my lowest weight I was around 130 and looked GREAT. I don't think I would look too good if I weighed less than that. I was about a size 10 in high school, weighing about 150-60. During my final two years of college I lost some weight and got down to my 130 minimum. I was doing a lot of physical activity but I wasn't in a great place mentally or emotionally, which I believe had a lot to do with my weight loss because I ate like crap. After I graduated college I packed on about 50 lbs and that where I am now. I really just need some inspiring and supportive and fun people to help me out. I'm trying not to think about my FGW, and focus on the first 20 for the cruise. I also have a wheat allergy (not Celiac's, weird situation) so anyone who can help with that would be greatly appreciated. Hope to meet some great people here!!
