I am really impressed with the community and how you all motivate eachother. I have 70lb to lose and so far lost 6lbs in 2 weeks because of MFP.

I have been the nerdy asian girl and eventually nerdy asian engineer. So when I turned 30, I decided to I want to be HOT. I know I am not ugly. I know how to use makeup and wear the right clothes to pull off cute - but not hot.

Like a good a planner, I have a notebook (lab notebook with grids) to execute this plan. I am going devote the same obsessive analytical detail and effort I pour over my job to my plan on being HOT. My husband loves my plan and he even agreed to join me. He is sick and tired of being a nerd too. He now says, "We are on a diet."

I should blog about this.

    This is enough to make me love you back. Girls that whine that they can't find cute clothes in their size don't look hard enough or aren't creative enough, IMO.

    Welcome!

    I love nerds too. I am one hahaha :)

    I love MFP too. I love logging on to this site & see my newsfeed. It's like burning calories everywhere, seeing that pushes me to do my own share of burning.

    My style is preppy librarian in 5inch heels.
