1. Your stats...
Age: 31
Height: 5'5"
Body Frame: I don't know. I'm curvy, but I'm also way overweight. We'll see as I get closer to my GW.
Weight: 300+
Jeans size: 24

I'm 5'5" and I like it just fine.

I don't really have one, but I wouldn't mind having the body of Marilyn Monroe. She's curvy, not too thin, and not too fat. I don't want to be "skinny", I just want to be able to run several miles and not feel held back in life because of my weight.

4. Your greatest fears about weight loss.
That I'll fail, or I won't like how I look when I reach my GW.

5. Why do you really want to lose this weight? Are you doing this for you?
I have lots of reasons. I just feel like I'm missing out on life because of my weight, and plus my 15 year high school reunion is in two years and I'd like to blow everyone away.

6. Do you binge? If so, explain why you think you do.
This may sound crazy, but no, not really. My reason for being overweight is because I often starved myself and then ate my entire day's worth of calories in one sitting, and didn't exercise. I'm changing that.

7. Do your family and friends know you’re trying to lose weight? Do they care?
Some know. Most don't. I'm kind of keeping it a secret. Those who know are pretty supportive, some more than others. My husband is learning to be supportive. My best friends are all cheering me on every step of the way.

8. Your workout routine.
I walk 3 miles 6-7 nights a week, and 5 days a week I'm doing cardio or strength training.

9. Did people ever make comments about your weight loss in a negative way?
No, not yet.

10. What was the hardest thing you gave up during this weight loss?
I haven't really given up anything. There was nothing wrong with most of the things I was eating before: I ate mostly lean protein, didn't drink soda, ate fruits and veggies, and rarely ate fried foods or sweets. The problem was that when I did eat unhealthy things, I went way overboard. Now I factor them into my daily calories.

11. Your favorite weight loss or healthy living blog or website!
MFP!

12. What do you normally eat?
Three meals a day, 2-3 snacks, lots of water. For breakfast I'll have an egg, turkey bacon, and fruit, or oatmeal with apple, cinnamon, brown sugar, cranberries, and pecans. For lunch, I'll heat leftovers, or have a sandwich. And a fruit or veggie. For dinner, lean protein usually, some kind of starch (like a small baked potato with salsa and sour cream), and a fruit or veggie. Snacks include fruit, almonds, pretzels and hummus, and the occasional cookie.

13. Are you losing weight in a healthy or unhealthy way?
Healthy!

14. What’s your UGW? When do you expect to reach it?
About 140-150. It's probably going to take me about two years.

15. Are you vegan or vegetarian? If so, has this helped you lose weight? If not, would you ever consider turning vegan or vegetarian?
No.

16. When did you first decide to lose weight?
I've decided many times to lose weight. But I've been working on changing my habits for the last few months, e.g. eating smaller more frequent meals, eating my meals on smaller plates, drinking more water, exercising regularly.

17. Do you have an eating disorder?
Nope.

18. What food is your weakness?
Chocolate. And Doritos. Not at the same time, though.

Eating right and exericse

Too large. I'm a 22/24 in jeans, a 2X/3X in tops. I'm hoping I won't stay that way.

22. What was your lowest weight? How and why did you gain?
I've never been thin, ever. I started gaining weight when I was about 6/7. My reasons were many. My parents didn't pay attention to whether or not I was eating right (not their fault! My dad was dying and they were both occupied with that), and there were other things that happened that diminished my desire to be attractive. I started gaining a lot of weight after high school; went from 175 my junior year to over 300 within 13 years. I'm done, I'm reversing this trend!

23. Did the media play a role in your wanting to lose weight?
No.

Being healthy, looking awesome.

No. I don't think it's sexy.

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder -- no reason to change this answer!
