:D Hi!

Hello! I'm Miranda, and have recently dusted off my account and gotten serious about trying to be healthy...

I'm a 31 (will be 32 in 2 weeks) blogging psychology student who's married to the man of her dreams. While I don't have kids of my own, I do have a 5 year-old step daughter and two cats.

At my heaviest I was in the neighborhood of 340 *cringe* - I honestly avoided the scale (and mirrors) unless I was at the doctor, so it could have gotten higher. I have chronic migraines, and am meeting with a rheumatologist Monday for suspected rheumatoid arthritis. These have been factors in my staying heavy, because movement hurts. I just grit my teeth work through it now, it'll pay off!

My last appointment didn't go so great. My cholesterol levels were borderline, and my triglycerides were 3x what they should be. I made the decision that I was changing things. I've finally found my motivation and have been able to stick with it. More friends and support would be nice Feel free to add me!!
