Just wanted to introduce myself

Hi,
Just here to introduce myself. I am 5'6 and weigh 224 pounds. I am a female and YES I am OVERWEIGHT. I discovered this webiste by accident and so far I am in love with it. I am on day number 2 of this diet/meal modification/healthy eating...whatever you want to call it... According to the website I am to eat 1200 calories per day. What I like most is the fact that I get to log everything I eat. Im pretty excited about all of this. I have set small goals for myself. My first goal is 10 pounds. Which the website is telling me that buy August 21st if I stay on track ..I will accomplish the 10 pounds. Then after that I will set another 10 pound goal for myself. Its going to be a long slow process, but with this website I think I can do it. I already have introduced 3 others to the website. They are all excited. We are also helping each other.
So all in all...I just wanted to say hi...and get familiar with the people on the website and read some of the post and answers. Maybe it will give me more encouragement....
