Houston Dancer.. that stopped dancing.. ..

kristajean86

...and guess what happened. :-) 8 years ago I'd reached my goal and I lost 130 lbs. HURRAH... Then a few years ago I stopped teaching dance, the dance team I was on ended, I stopped going out multiple times per week dancing... and now.. I'm back up 50 lbs. UGH!!

Okay.. I do love, love, love food. But I hope to curb that and get inventive.. plus exercise more in order to change my profile picture. This current picture is at Ref Fest in 2010. Hopefully there will be a great picture soon enough to change this one.

What else.. I'm teaching ECS again, helping with other classes as well. I foster cats and have three of my own as of today (just adopted a foster). I'm from Kansas but have lived here for fourteen years. One more and I think Houston considers me a citizen for real.

That's about it.

Welcome! First off, I want to say how amazing it is that you lost 130 lbs thats quite a feat! If you were able to do that then I know you will be successful again. I know how you feel about loving food lol- Im a culinary student and lets just say...the things we learn to cook are not weight loss friendly lol. Check out the recipe section- there are so many great low calorie recipes on there that will keep you full without being boring

Thanks... my nephew, I've been told, plans on moving down here to live with me while going to culinary school. The food lover can't wait to be his guinea pig... but I'm wary. :-) Maybe I'll give him challenges to "make a healthy' version. :-)
