I'm Tai and I'm in this for the long haul!

I've fluctuated a lot in the past 3 years, from 280, down to 207 after becoming vegetarian, then back up when I became addicted to french fries when friends would insist upon fast food. Right now I am about 230 (although my scale's battery has died now reading "LO" when i step on it, and how i wish that was in reference to my weight).

I am finishing up my undergraduate, and I have recently been accepted into Americorps in Seattle. I have already achieved so much and am thrilled to be making the cross-country move, as well as to enjoy my whole year of volunteerism (a passion of mine). But, as much as I have focused on my education and career-ish goals, I've let myself slack off physically. The body is one with the mind, and I'm dedicating myself to excersizing them together.

So, anyway, I'd like to eventually reach a goal weight of 165 as I am 5'9, but the day I fall into the 100s will be a day of REJOICING.

I hope that I can find motivation in you all, as I know I will, and support for days/weeks/months?? of dumpiness.
