Ready to fully commit myself!

edited September 27 in Introduce Yourself
I have been on the site for a few weeks using the food diary and reading some of the forums. And I have been very impressed with not only the site but all of the great people and posts in the forums!! So now I've decided that I need to take the full plunge and stop lurking and just put myself out there in the hope of being more accountable and motivated when things get tough!!!

I have struggled with my weight all of my life. About 3 years ago a series of events - personal & professional - finally motivated me to make a change and I lost 30 pounds. And I HAVE managed to keep the weight off. Unfortunately this is about 20 pounds short of my goal. So for the past 2 years now I have lost the same 5 pounds 10 times as I bounce between 185-190.

So now I am ready for Phase 2 of this process. I am hoping that this site will help me to hold myself accountable. And maybe the "community" aspect will be an additional motivation!
