I am new and cant wait to start

Options
I am new on this site, I joined a week ago just before xmas and I was then 157lbs, I have put on 4lbs over xmas but I knew that would happen.
Tomorrow 2012 begins and so does the diet. I wont be tracking my food on here as I have another app on my phone which is easier as myfitnesspal for some reason doesnt like my phone...but I will be tracking my weight loss and hopefully my exercise.
I went up to around 180lbs when I had my son but that was 2 years ago. I got down to 168 without extreme diets but then went up and down by 2 or 3 lbs for about a year. Now I think it is time for a new start and a new diet, and hopefully a new me.
I am 19 and am used to having a gymnasts figure, I am only 5ft 1in....so quite bad really.
Hope to meet a few people on here to go on this journey with....I want this time to be the last time for a very long time.
