Hello! My name is Chelsea and I'm a 27 year old programmer from NY.

I'm not really new to dieting, or to weight loss for that matter - but I'm rather new to doing it SUCCESSFULLY over a long period of time. It's been around 4 weeks and I've lost around 15 lbs. But I wanna keep it rolling and could use some friends to talk to/draw inspiration from over my journey.

So, hello everyone!

    Little bit of everything ATM! I'm just now finishing school and applying for internships so I'm just sort of taking whatever work I possibly can which is a grab bag of things because I do know quite a few languages. But my end game is something along the lines of software engineering. My dream job to end all dream jobs would be pen testing.

    Thats cool, been in the IT industry for about 7 ish almost 8 years now. Have dabbled in just about everything in that time frame! I originally went to school for Programming (computer science) however ended up falling in love with networking infrastructure. Its been a wild ride hope you find your dreams in IT like I have. Just remember it doesnt happen overnight. Work hard, be assertive, and study your butt off lol.

    That's really funny, I'm so bad at networking. I'm not sure why, but none of it seems to click for me.

    PROGRAMMING however - I pick up languages with like little to no effort. Spoken languages were always my strong suit - programming languages seem to follow that pattern. So coding is my favorite. :)
