Welcome to FatSecret. You have made a great choice starting here and since you love to dance that will be great exercise. Remember to log everything you eat. You will learn a lot from doing that and if you run into any challenges just ask for help in the forum. There are a lot of very successful dieters here who can look at your food logs and give you advice. It will take some time so dont stress about the scale too much. Logging food and making healthy food choices will take care of the scale over time.
