I started in 2015 at 161lbs.. 1lb into the overweight range for my BMI. I said to myself 'nope, I can't let this keep up' and I lost 10lbs pretty quickly. Stayed there for a year or so and then lost another 10. Now I've gained that 10 back! I'm around 150 (haven't weighed myself recently) and starting calorie counting so I can finally get to my goal weight of 130.

I'm starting with an aggressive target of 1200cal/day (including eating back exercise) because I know seeing fast results will motivate me-- then I'll bump it up.

Sugar is my biggest enemy.. I LOVE it. Candy.. ugh. Any sort of sweets. I could eat nothing but that and be happy. But I know I need to take care of my body!

Besides all that, my favorite things to do are work in my community garden, hang out with my dog, and cook from cookbooks!

Feel free to add me and we can be friends and support each other through this! We've got a long road ahead!
