Hello!, My name is Annie, I'm 18 from Canada.

My body holds weight very strangely. I've always been muscular naturally, so I've always been heavier than most people. Right now, I am considered to be "overweight" by the BMI chart, even though I only wear a size 5/6. I weigh 150 lbs. This has always annoyed me, it just seems ridiculous because I know I am not fat. SCALES LIE.

My ballet teacher has asked me to shed a few in order to match the other dancers (this only sounds cruel). So that is why I am here. Also, to be more healthy in general.

I'm excited!!!!!!
