Hiya fitgirl77!
I'm 31 myself and started out with about 50 to go. I'm so glad I found this site, it's been a lifesaver! I have an app for my phone, so it's been really easy to be accountable for my eating habits.
Are you just watching calories or are you following a specific diet?
And mindymolli, I hear ya! Why do you taunt us so, monstrous weight gain!! *shakes fist*
