About

Bio

I've been overweight for my entire life. I was born 10 pounds - on Thanksgiving, no less, a day of traditional overeating!
I joined CC in April 2007, and it's been perfect for me. I haven't lost weight quickly, but I have been losing, and becoming more confident as I go. I just got married this fall, and I'm redefining my identity and my life in all areas. This body of mine is a big priority.

(Literally.)

My strategy is to practice moderation, and to use the mental skills I've learned from calorie logging to make good choices for myself. I've been exercising off and on, and I'm trying to find a consistent routine that I enjoy - I tend to get bored fast if I'm not mentally stimulated as well.

I've lost 3 sizes already. 3 more to go. I want to be a nice size 12 - curvy is HOT!

FYI, I'm 22 years old, and 5'7''.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

My goals, size/weights:

-250 pounds - Goal met 7/19/07!

-Being comfortable in size 20 Goal met 7/20/07! Shopping trip!

-Liking my wedding pictures Goal met 10/7/07! Of course, I love them. My dress really made me look skinny (at least, relatively) :-)

-Being comfortable in size 18 Goal met 11/10/07! (going by Old Navy sizes from now on, because they fit better)

-Being able to shop at normal stores, not just Lane Bryant Goal met 11/10/07 with Old Navy - yay! What is a 'normal' store, anyway?

-235 pounds - Goal met 12/2/07! Christmas goal acheived early!!

-220 pounds (50 pounds since starting CC!)

-Being comfortable in size 16

-204 pounds ("Moderately overweight" instead of "Severely")

-Comfortable in Size 14

-190 pounds

-SIZE 12 - I've decided this is my big goal. I think I will be happy at that size. I have no desire to be skinny (honestly, I don't) just NORMAL!

-177 pounds (Only "slightly overweight"! Yay!)

-170 pounds (100 lbs lost since starting CC! Will I be happy at this weight?)

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

My 'living comfortably' goals:

-Being comfortable in exercise classes

-Being able to wrap a normal towel around me

-Being able to enjoy swimming (Important goal - I miss it!) - GOAL MET JUNE 2008!

-Being able to enjoy dancing

-Being comfortable in shorts

-Able to be carried by my new husband

-Being able to cross my legs at the knee (comfortably) - GOAL MET 4/22/08!

-Not developing diabetes (LIFETIME GOAL!)
