I've been kind of lurking on the forums for awhile, but I figured it was about time to step out of the shadows. My name is Allison, I'm 20 years old and I'm a college student. I am overweight. It's a little hard for me to type that because for a long time, I've been the kind of girl who's been too ebulliant to care about physical appearance, but now that I'm faced with my future and careers/grad school, it's about time I started caring, so I'm here, looking for support and guidance, since this will be the first REAL attempt I've ever done at losing weight. I figure that a good starting point will be to seriously increase my water intake, right? 
Anyway, hope to meet and get to know a lot of you guys!
