edited October 2024 in Introduce Yourself
Hello all :) I've been reading everyone's posts for a few weeks and I suppose I should introduce myself. I browse around here and weight-loss blogs on Tumblr in the evenings when I feel a craving coming on - so far it's working!

I'm a 23 year old recent college graduate, currently saving up for my Masters in England :) I had been seriously overweight all my life (along with my Mom) due to a lot of reasons, and we both decided one day when I was 20 to go in on the 6 Week Body Makeover system together. I ended up going from 210 to 135, and she also lost 60+ lbs in about a year. Life happened (including the holidays, school stress, breakup, travel) and before I knew it I was back up to 164 :/ I've lost some since then, and the past week I've been doing the 30DS with two other friends and I'm feeling great and seeing results!

I did it once, and I know I can do it again. I've started to get a handle on how I think of food again, and my motivation has slowly but surely returned. One of my friends is getting married in 3 weeks and I want to look as good as possible by then, so that's my current goal. I'm excited to stick to it and watch everyone else succeed too!
