As a kid I was a beanpole, but when I hit college that happy high metabolism I had slowed down.  Settling into a sedentary lifestyle coupled with the stress of graduate school gave me more than 30 pounds in one year, which was enough to really scare me.  Not that I want to be particularly fear-motivated, but if it works, it works.

Thanks to the encouragement of a friend (who can now say "17% less Timmay!"), I've started calorie-counting and pre-planning my meals, which will hopefully help me get down to my pre-grad-school weight, and be in better shape too.

Since I'm doing the weekly weigh-in (Fridays, see this thread) I decided I'm going to keep track of this info in my profile, to have it all in one place. :)

EDIT: This list is getting long, so I'm going to collapse previous months into monthly weigh-ins.

Where I am today... sometimes not as encouraging as the trend, but hey.
