Hey guys!

My whole life I've been chunky, not fat, but probably around 10-20 pounds overweight (which is quite noticeable on me as I stand at 5'1). Not only that, but I was extremely large chested (my bra size was a 34G, which is insane on such a small frame). I was never comfortable in my own skin, I always covered up and didn't like how I looked in clothes. In December of 2010, I opted to have breast reduction surgery. To this day I can say it was the best decision I've ever made. I went from a 34G to a 34B. It also made me look like I'd lost 10 pounds. It was also the first time I actually felt like I could be physically active.

Since then, I've started playing ultimate frisbee, I've done Insanity (only for a month, I had to stop because my life became too hectic with a friend's wedding that I was in), I walk everywhere because I don't have a car, I'm conscious of what I eat (my mum instilled that into me from a very young age, and I'm in love with my organic foods!), and now I've started Turbo Fire (Friday will be the last day of the first month for me!).

My goal over the next few months is to not give up on completing Turbo Fire (I find I give up on things too easily), I want to complete the two advanced months of it as well. I'd also like to lose 12 pounds (go from being 132 to 120 pounds), go down a pant size (from a 6 to a 4), and to start firming/toning/sculpting my body.
