Hi everyone! My name is Melissa, I'm 22, and I am a recent college graduate starting out in the real world. As for the freshmen fifteen? It was more like the senior twenty.... I'm here because I realized how unhappy I was that I let myself get to that point.

I'm from NY but I've moved to Philadelphia for my job, so I'm starting out on my own! I'm using Fat Secret as a launching point for my weight loss. I've already dropped my first 12 pounds, and now I have my last 10 to go!

I've become an avid runner, completing my first half marathon in November of 2011. I've just decided to run my 2nd one, the Philadelphia Half marathon in November 2012 with my brothers and my Dad!
