in Introduce Yourself
Hi everyone. My name's Emily, I've just turned 30, and I'm determined to make some changes in my life!

I've only been offically overweight (as in my BMI was over 25) once, for a few months as a teenager, when I had to go on the pill for health reasons. Other than that I've generally been at the mid to upper end of a healthy BMI, but I've always had insecurities and never felt truly comfortable in my own skin. Right now I'm 142 (I'm 5'6") and initially I want to lose about 10lbs and see how I feel then.

I've got the Jillian Michaels 30 Day Shred and Butt and Thighs (my main problem area) workouts, so it would be great to get some friends who are taking her on too. :)
