SW: approx. 140 lbs. (the last time i weighed myself was a couple of wks ago)
GW:120-125 lbs. by June 1st.
--------------------------
so, today is my first day. just to introduce myself, my name is Janice and i'm 20 yrs. old and about 5 ft. 4 inches. since i was young, i've been a pretty "thicK" person and because i played a lot of sports, i've always had an athletic build. when i was 15, i started gaining a lot of weight and went from about 135 lbs. to 165 lbs. my dad, being a medical weight loss doctor, helped me lose some weight through diet and exercise, and over the next 1 1/2 years i eventually managed to go down to 125 lbs. unfortunately, that only lasted a few months, and ever since then i've been fluctuating between 130-140 lbs. now, i'm trying to get back down to 125 lbs, which i feel is a good weight for me, but if i could go down to 120 that would be great...wish me luck!!
i'm one of those unlucky people who hate exercise and LOOOOOOVE carbs and chocolate...so i know it's going to be a challenge to get into the habit of counting calories again and exercising regularly. now that i'm not in high school playing team sports, it's hard for me to push myself to run or to exercise in general. lately, the most exercise i've been getting is a couple sets of lunges every other day. i want to up it to lunges, squats, ab exercises, and total body fat loss from running or aerobics. but it's easier said than done, of course, so i have to take it slow or else i know i'll just end up giving up altogether.
i'm trying to save money so i can join the gym in my building, which would definitely help. also, as a college student, it's really hard for me to find healthy food to eat because my version of grocery shopping usually means a whole lot of ramen and other just-add-water, salty, processed foods. what helped me lose weight back in high school was eating fruits for breakfast every morning and eating my father's protein-enriched food supplements. i have to get myself back at that "gung-ho" weight loss zone where i used to count every calorie, record everything in a diary, and i had a lot of self-control.
anyways, sorry to bore you with my life's story, but i just felt like i needed to get it all out for myself so i know what my goals are and what i have to overcome in order to reach those goals. i've done it before, and i can do it again...
