Its about time I introduce myself

Hi, I'm Mallorie. I have been using myfitnesspal for almost a month now, and I love it!. I'm 23 and before college never had a problem with my weight (though like most young women, I thought I did when, at 135 lbs, I didn't). I succeeded in not gaining the Freshman 15 my first year of college (though I attribute that to being a picky eater, a poor college student, and living on the 5th floor of a dorm with no elevator). I came home my sophomore year, and the mixture of a busy schedule with work and school and my grandma's wonderful home cooking I doubled what I missed out on freshman year. Sadly I didn't stop with the Sophomore 30, but progressed to the Junior 40 and sadly the Senior 50! Well, graduation is coming up here in May and I refuse to walk up on that stage at 185 lbs. Its time I take back control of my health while I am taking control of my future! I have set a goal to lose 15 lbs before graduation. I feel that that is a realistic and attainable goal, and have already lost 6 lbs thanks to myfitnesspal! If I am successful then I will set a new goal and hopefully be down to 140 by July!

I have a sweet puggle who is very happy with my new fitness goals. He gets to share my apple slices and healthy snacks, and we go on long walks whenever the weather is nice. With the beginning of spring, I'm hoping exercise will be easier. I take fitness classes at school, but will have to find alternative forms of exercise when I am done with the semester.
