Introduce yourself.

Well, I am not exactly new. I did some stuff on this site last summer but I was terrible at it. One of my closest friends send me a picture of herself in a new dress and she had dropped a visible amount of weight. She swore that using one of these sites made a huge difference for her so I've decided to give it a real shot this time around.

Anyway, I am Tracy, I'm 28, from Seattle, newly married (September 2013!!! ) and looking to drop 70 or 80 lbs. My weight is the most it has ever been. I was pretty happy with myself when I met my husband about 5 years ago but we have both put on quite a bit of weight since we have been together. The one bonus he has going for him is that he has a physical job so he burns more calories in a day than I do. We have both been working for a couple months but we aren't seeing the results we had hoped for so it is time to step up the effort.

My profile pic is from about three years ago. I have managed to gain a lot of my weight since then. I really wish I looked like that still so I figure using it as my profile picture and having to see it will be a big motivator!

Anyway, feel free to say hello!
