Hello!
I was 300lbs on my wedding day (6.5 years ago). I dropped to 250 but have been losing the same 30lbs between 220 and 250 for the last 5 years. I'm over it!
I was an avid crossfitter (quick, hard workouts and olympic style lifting) until I was laid off - the company was paying the bill. That happened in October...since then my exercise petered and then dropped off, as did most of my nutrition.
I'm *done* being back in the "feeling crappy all the time inside and out" camp...I want to be back in the "feeling fit <even though I was never skinny>, strong, healthy and happy" camp.
Looking for friends who can/will call me on my crap so I can beat that 220 mark and be healthier than I have been since my early 20s.
Age: 30
Sex: Female
Location: East Coast, Canada
Occupation: Entrepreneur (launching a Gourmet Condiments company with a focus on allergen sensitivities)
Status: Married
Health: Paleo (gluten, dairy, soy, legumes, grain and sugar free), Celiac
Fitness: Like it hard and quick...long workouts never cut it for me. Plan: move back to bodyweight lifting and high intensity/short session cardio <sprints, jump rope, etc>
Interests: Reading, hiking, nature, photography, art, supporting all things local

Can I recommend Jillian Michael's if you haven't already tried any of her dvds. I've only ever done 30 Day Shred and am in the middle of her newest, Body Revolution; I love it and hate it at the same time! It can be tough, but its only 30 minutes! I've only recently started coming to mfp, but feel free to add me!
All the best on your journey!
