Well, I guess I didn't post enough about myself the first time...So, first off my name is Danielle, I am 21 and I have struggled with my weight for as long as I can remember. I always start diets and set realistic goals, but I quit and end up reaching the date when I thought I would be successful and I get really down about failing once more. This time I have my boyfriend, best friend, sister, mom and your site as support so I am going to make it work. I want to lose about 90 pounds by Feb 16/07. That is about 9 pounds a month which I think would be a reasonable rate to go for. I basically am just trying to cut sugar, pop and refined flour out of my diet, focusing on eating allot more veggies and fruit, wholegrains, turkey, chicken and yogurt. I am also trying to focus on strength training as a way to build muscle as I heard that it helps in the long run. I would also like to try to walk and dance more, some fun things to get moving and be active. As I said before I would be open to any suggestions.

Thanks
