hello!!!

I'm a newbie here! I just started here at MFP on Monday! I'm looking to get some friends for mutual support!! My best friend inspired me to join this site (shreyaj), and she's been super supportive of my diet, but the more friends, the more encouragement, the better!!!

I'm 24 and from Connecticut. I haven't struggled with my weight until a year into college. It's been all downhill from there. Since I gained an extra 15(!!!) pounds in the past year, I decided enough was enough and I'm starting to be more conscience of what I eat and how I exercise. Any pointers for a newbie, let me know!!!

Much love to all you out there, too!!!
