Well, where to begin...
I've made introductions on community forums before, but never in a fitness one. It's something very personal to me, but I feel I may need a little support. I created this account over the summer and didn't really think to use it until now, while I'm in college.
I've lost weight before. I've kept quite a bit off. However, over the summer I kind of got off track and gained a bit back--not a ton, but enough to be a bit discouraged. So now I'm hoping to get back to where I was before summer began and get down to my desired weight of 150 lbs. I was so close before...I want to make sure I can do it this time.
I've lurked this forum and several other weight loss and fitness communities, and this one just seems to be the most close-knit and personal. I'm sure I won't be disappointed.
Also, some introductory basics:
Name: Melina
Age: 19
Current weight: 175
Goal weight: 150

Hello! Sounds like the same boat as me! I was SO close to my goal of 145, then I kind of went off the rails this summer, working too much, not exercising much, and not making very good food choices which lead to around 10-15 pounds right back on! I'm trying to get back into health/fitness regime again now though0
