Better Version of the 2006 Me!

domgirl85

Hi there!

I joined My Fitness Pal a few days ago after hearing about it from a friend of mine (and I love it). I say I'd like to be a better version of myself in 2006 but really it would have to be mid2006-mid 2008. I've always been overweight and in 2006, I lost 25 pounds and weighed 147. I stayed fairly close to that size for a few years before I started gaining and gaining weight. As of the end of 2010 I was 187, the same size i was at 16. This is the largest I've ever been thankfully. The major difference is that I now have my "womanly shape" as my mom calls it, so I don't look quite as chubby as I did then.

I set my goal date for my 26th birthday (July 29th). And for my present to myself, I'd love to comfortably wear a tight minidress for the occasion! I DO plan to keep the weight off, but I'm giving myself a fun "YEA YOU DID IT!"

I want to lose around 50 pounds (putting me at 135) and 20-25 inches combined from my thighs, hips/butt, waist, and bust. I am not working, so I'm taking advantage of this by committing more time than I normally would to working out. I do 1 hour of cardio Tues, Thurs, Saturday and 45 minutes of cardio followed by Jillian Michaels Banish Fat Boost Metabolism Mon, Wed, Friday. Sunday is my off day.

I'm on a 1500 calorie food-plan from Fitness Magazine (loves that magazine). Also, I allow myself 3 cheats per week. That's 3 items, not meals!. Meaning I can have either 1 cheat meal or 3 small things scattered throughout the week.

I am currently 183 pounds, I lost 4 pounds by just doing the food plan last week (I just started working on Tuesday)! Yea me!

I feel committed like I did in 2006, so I'm hoping I can reach my goal!
