Today is my first day

Helloooo out there.. :-)
I decided to give this site a try and I love it already. I have been struggling with my weight for years. I remember being in 6th grade and joining Weight Watchers with my mother, just to give you an idea. Overweight kid. Still an overweight adult. I'm 30 years old, 5'7'' and I weigh 231 lbs. I've lost weight and gained it back...lost weight and gained it back...lost weight and....I'm sure you get the picture. I've never been able to maintain my weight losses. I'd go right back to eating any 'ole kinda of way. So now I'm starting over again but this time I want it to be different. In the past, I never thought about exercising and eating healthier for life. But I realize that was part of my problem. This has to be a lifestyle change, not just something I do to get into that dress I bought 2 sizes too small anyway! :-) I've got to eat healthier and exercise more for the rest of my life. So I hope you all will give me much-needed support as I begin this journey. It's comforting just to have people to share with. My fitness analysis says that I can lose 10 lbs by April 19th, a day before my 4th wedding anniversary. That would be a great start and a sweet gift!!!
