It's 2009 now and this year things are different!

My name is Elin, I'm 23 and I live in Sweden. I found Fatsecret last year when I was living and working in the US, and it worked pretty well for me then. Then I came back home, and I kind of forgot about the site, started drifting back into my old routines and boom, the weight-loss was gone.

But now things really are different. I met a guy in November, and he is supporting me like no one ever has before. He really believes I can do it, and he's making me believe I can do it! And things are starting to happen, pounds are staring to fall off. It's amazing what love and support will do for you. And what added self-confidence will do for your weight-loss.

One thing I've learned, from all my years of trying to lose wieght. Small steps and one step at a time. So my goals are as follows:

Start : 109 kg (about 240 lbs.)
Goal 1: 103 kg (227 lbs.)
Goal 2: 100 kg (220 lbs.)
Goal 3: 97 kg (214 lbs. This is my last official weight, when I went to high school)
Goal 4: 93 kg (205 lbs.)
Goal 5: 90 kg (198 lbs.)
