New to this site...trying to lose about 15

gibbsgirl

Hi. My name is Taren. I live in Louisiana and I'm trying to lose about 15 pounds. I will be going back to school in August to finish my Dietetics degree and I can't expect people to take my nutrition advice seriously if I'm not happy with myself! My boyfriend and I are starting out lifestyle change together and could use some online support as well.

Thanks! I am currently a sheriff's deputy and was at my best weight just after the academy (December of 08). I'm only about 10 pounds more than that now, but i was much more toned and way stronger. I really want to get back to that. Right now the work hours make it hard to fit in a good workout everyday, but I'm hoping I can be more dedicated once I start school.
