I am 24 years old and living in Erie, Pennsylvania. I am excited about recently getting my dream job teaching first grade.  My husband and I have been married for just over a year and love our life together.

I'm really trying to lose weight because I know I wasn't 'destined' to be big. For years in high school I was at a nice weight for my 5'3'' frame and slowly but surely the pounds starting coming on, about a pound a month for as long as I can remember.  I would really like to get back to how I looked my freshman year in college so I have about 50-60 pounds to lose.
