Alrighty, hey all! The name on gaia is phloid (you can call be phlo if you so please) and irl it’s Amanda and I’m nineteen. I am Canadian and just finishing my second year in university majoring in Psychology. I did really terrible through most of my class terms so I'm now kinda thinking university is not my thing so I'm going to take a year off, possibly go to college after. I believe the reason I did so terribly in school is because of my serious lack of motivation which is also what has impaired
me from losing my weight in the past. I never have the desire to do homework, and I never have the desire to stick to a healthy lifestyle.

I’ve always had a bit of chub on me, it fluctuated slightly over the years, but I’ve never been at a weight that I felt totally comfortable with, usually around... 30-50 lbs overweight. I was hoping having free gym access at school would really help me out but the gym felt too far away and too much of a hassle to get to with all my schoolwork and whatnot. So needless to say, I basically maintained the weight I had coming into school (at least I had no freshman fifteen!). But now that it's summer and I'm going to be taking some time off I should have NO EXCUSES to not lose weight! I’ve been wanting to change my lifestyle for soo long now, I really, really want to make this summer the summer that changed my life! I want to lose weight not only to feel more confident and comfortable in my own skin (and clothes!), but also I am currently in the process of being tested for likely having Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (not gonna go into insane detail, I'd only have a mild case and it's not all that serious) and the symptoms of it are lessened when you are in a healthy weight which I currently am not. So it'd be great to just feel HOT and be healthy so I'm hoping to record my progress in here and stick with it this time!


Oh YEAH!
Height/ weight stuff... duh.
I'm 5'10 and weight approximately 195-200 lbs (I don't really have a scale)
