    I love the name of this group! Count me in!

    Starting Date: September 4th
    Ending Date: December 31st

    Name: Andrea
    Age: 24
    Location: Ottawa
    Starting Weight: 143 (158 pre MFP)
    Goal Weight: 130 by Christmas.. In spite of Christmas cooking!!!
    Fun Fact About Yourself: Getting married next year! [September 29, 2012 :)]

    Waist: 28.5"
    Hips: 39"
    Chest: 37"
    Neck: 13.5
    Arms: 10.75"

    This is the first time I use measurements to track progress so I'm hoping to see some results there when the scale isn't budging (which feels like more often then not). Good luck everyone!

    What made me want to lose weight was seeing some old facebook pictures of myself (haven't been on in years) and thinking, "I looked fantastic!" At the time I probably hated them and wanted to be 10 or 15 pounds smaller, but now I realize those pictures are where I want to be. At 10 or so pounds away from where I am now they are a realistic and healthy goal. Real wakeup call!

  • Question Of The Day:

    What was your breaking point that made you want to get healthier/lose weight??

    I was sick and tired of looking at myself in the mirror and saying i need to do something and never doing it, also my health was and is at stake, I would lay down and feel like i was suffucating and not being able to breath... I finally one day woke up and said enough is enough and I'm not giving up till i lose every last pound that i want to.....

    Weight in Monday!

    Starting Weight: 288
    Current Weight: 281
    Goal Weight: 175

    Pounds lost : 7 pounds!

    This week I went to the gym 4 days. Plus working 2 days and I burn a lot of calories at work running up and down halls all night! I also feel like I ate really well. I did have a somewhat cheat night last night (Sunday) but it was no where near as bad as it would have been if I wasn't on MFP. I am really proud of how well I've done. I wanted to go the gym today but the gym at my college is closed for the holiday. :( Oh well, I work and will burn lots of calories then.

    On to week two! :D

  • ok , my weight in for today september 6th 2011 is of 185.2 down from 185.6 , not much of a loss but very happy because I had been seeing no movement on the scale whatsover this past week.
