Ready for change!

Hi all!
I just joined the site and it has really given me a boost in motivation to see this through! Can't wait to join the community on here :)
So a little about me...
I am 22 (will be 23 in June) and have struggled with being overweight ever since middle school. In high school I was a dancer and a cheerleader, so I got regular daily exercise and had a stable weight of about 150. I was very unhappy at the time with my body and needed to lose 30lbs THEN to get out of the overweight zone. I was one of the biggest girls on the squad and couldn't always wear what I wanted. Of course, I went to college and about a year in I started gaining weight like crazy until a year and a half into college, I weighed 210lbs. I weigh a little more than that now and the extra weight since high school has really started to interfere with enjoying life. I look at old pictures and laugh at how I hated my body then, wishing I still looked like that now.
And that's why I'm here! I want to be happy with my body and change my life. Anyone who wants to be friends on here, I am planning on logging in daily and would enjoy being part of any sort of support group :)
