Hi everyone!

I've been on MFP since the 7th of March this year, but haven't been doing anything with the forums and friend-stuff.
Now as I take a look at all the posts, I see what I've been missing! Y'all are such motivations!
I would like some friends on MFP, continuing my weight-loss journey..

I'm 21 years old, from Holland (yeah! Anyone else? From Europe?). I'm 1.79 m (5"10).
I'm used to measuring in centimetres and kilograms, but I'll try in lbs:

My starting weight at 3/07/2011 was 91.2 kg (201.1 lbs)
After two months of eating healthy and regularly, I now -at 5/05/2011- weigh 77.2 kg (170.2 lbs)

My goal weight is 68.0 kg (149 lbs).

So, who wants to be MFP-friends?! :)

    Wow, nearly 15 kg since March!?! How did you do that? I've lost 4 since end of Feb.

    I'm not Dutch, but I do live in the Netherlands at the moment, so add me if you like, it'd be fun
