Oh hello!

Just started a few days ago, and I gotta say this site is the best. A friend of mine kept suggesting myfitnesspal, but I wouldn't leave Sparkpeople. This site is so much easier to navigate and way more awesome!

Well let's see. a couple of years ago I was pushing 200lbs on my 5'2" frame and then decided to make some drastic changes. I decided I would try a vegan diet and see how it went. I fell in love with the diet and dropped a little over 20lbs. I then sat there stagnant for another year and a half. I was eating vegan technically, but I was eating a lot of junk, and in taking a lot of calories.

Then my boyfriend of 4 years asked me to marry him. I am approaching less than 3 months until I walk that aisle. I feel like this is the perfect excuse to drop the weight. I feel more motivated than ever. I cannot wait to be back at a healthy weight!
