Guess I Should Introduce Myself

jenniferlspies

Hi, I'm Jennifer! I've been using MyFitnessPal since January 2nd and have been lurking in the forums for about the same amount of time. So, I figured it was about time I introduced myself and started posting!

I've been overweight since at least middle school (I'm 22 right now), with my highest weight being ~210 lbs. I started using MyFitnessPal at 197 lbs, and have lost 19 lbs. I'm looking to get down to about 145 lbs, just depending on how I look and feel. Right now, it's feeling great to see myself shrinking (just bought the first pair of size 12 pants that I can remember!) and the self-confidence that's coming along with it.

I'm 3 weeks into a 5K training program (5K 101) and am looking forward to being able to run the entire 5K distance soon. On the days I don't run, I switch between Jillian Michaels DVDs, Biggest Loser DVDs, and yoga.
