Greetings from the Chicagoland area!

Hi, I'm Izzy.

I was nearly 300lbs at one point in my life, just under 2 years ago. Now I'm down to 182. It was easy getting fat and unhealthy. But due to persistence and dedication, I've dropped the weight. I have a little ways to go.

A bit about me. I'm 27, single, no kids and never been married. I'm terrified of what having a child will do to my body.

I'm a grad student. I'll be graduating in December with my Master's in Sociology and certificates in LGBT and Women's studies. I'm an aspiring author and write in the supernatural genre. I love it. I have a crazy wild imagination.

I'm very passionate about getting healthier and into better shape. Health and fitness have become my life. I'm even thinking about becoming a personal trainer once I reach my goal.

I would like to wish everyone the best of luck on their journey to health and fitness. Good luck and keep up the good work! Results come with persistence and dedication. Never give up!
