I am here And lets GET SKINNY BY SUMMER

Hi all,

My name is sarina and i've just joined the site today. I am a very determined person and i am going to do whatever it takes to reach my goal this summer.

A little about my past, I live in chicago and i have been overweight and unhappy most of my life. I let all my youth pass me by because i was ashamed of my weight. Prom, graduation etc.. I lost out on. Then last year i had an ephihany. It was the last week of october and i realized that my life sucks. I'm 22 and have not lived and was unemployed for over a year living in a basement on food stamps. I decided to step on the scale and i weighed a whopping 230 pounds. No words can describe how angry i was at that moment that i let myself get that big and give up on my life.

Well right then and there i thought HELL NO. But i was broke, how could i work out or eat healthy with nothing. So i told my Boyfriend what i wanted to do and he had the answer. The library. He currently has a really good surburban library that had all the biggest loser workout dvd. I took all them out and then book and learned. Mike also gave me some dumbells and i have been borrowing my sisters elliptical as well. I started eating better and working out everyday like a maniac starting on the first week of november. I made it through the holidays without overeating and i now weight 191. I lost almost 40 pounds in 2 months and a week. Believe me, i am shocked about that as well because i never thought it was possible and let me tell you it hurt. My body was sore but i pushed through it like the biggest losers do on the show.

Nowadays i'm pulling back on my excises a bit because i want a more normal life than working out all day. I am currently looking for a job with no luck but gotta keep trying. I am looking for determined people like myself who want to be skinny by summer. I am very determined and i am going to fight to make it happen. I just wanted to give my introduction in the boards. I hope my story can motivate some people.
