I'm too young to be battling obesity and I am ready to put it behind me!

I am a 23 year old working girl. I have worked hard to build a life that I can be proud of and the last aspect that needs improvement is my weight. There really are no excuses. I'm counting calories and making exercise a priority so hopefully I will continue to see improvement. I'm not interested in a crash diet that is difficult to maintain. I am interested in a lifestyle that I can easily keep up for the rest of my life.
