Hello there, I only just joined (through an invite from my bestie/housemate).
Essentially, I am 24 years old, aussie (was born in south america). I guess I would be considered a hybrid of things.. Somewhat a tomboy/artsy, mega nerd that wants to be a make up artist!
Basically I dont think I've ever been at a normal weight. I was actually underweight as a kid (I was very ill when I was young) then I hit 12 years old and got overweight all through that and most of highschool. Highschool though I wasnt too bad. Technically even only about 5-10 kilos overweight but I was made to feel that I was horribly obese. I moved out of home after school and thats when I gained a terrible amount of weight.
After some difficult years, I lost about 10kilos in 2 years. then stayed up/down minorly until nearly a year ago I finally decided to make a change in my life. Not a diet... Not a quick way out... A complete lifestyle change!
I've lost 32 kilos from my highest weight (22 lost last year) and this summer im kicking my butt to have a summer goal for a further 8 kilos down
I joined this place actually through my friend, who I've moved in with. She wants me to help her make positive changes in her life too!
I think it helps me help her. Because there is no one here to kick my *kitten* when I stray or to tell me to go work out. I've got myself as a drill sergeant and I have friends than need me
here's to 2012 being a magnificent year. Last year was the year of change.. This year is the year of achieving!
