Hello everyone,
My name is Aubry ^_^. I am 21 years old, and I have been trying to lose weight for, what it feels like, forever. I'm really glad I have found this forum, because I feel like it is the one thing I'm missing to keep me going, and get me to my goals. I have a weight loss goal of approximately 35 lbs. I am 5'9, and my CW: 165.4 lbs as of today. I weighed about 168-170 during high school. After high school I got up to a hefty 190 lbs, and I had had it. I was fed up with being quite chubby, and lost almost 50 lbs! I got down to 145 lbs. Earlier this year, I broke up with my ex of whom was very abusive, and brainwashed me into hating my body, and myself, and I met my current amazing boyfriend in January. He has helped me through so much, but I have gained 20 lbs since I have met him. I am sure some of it is muscle, because I finally got to go do things I love, like hiking and mountain biking, but I have also re-established my utter love for food. I want to lose around 35 pounds so I can be happier, more comfortable with myself. I love clothes, and fashion, and doing cosplay and costuming. I love to dress up/cosplay Steampunk style, and I would really like to make this goal by spring 2016, so I can feel comfortable with a boudoir photoshoot. I think me celebrating with something like this, which I would have never thought I would do in a million years, if you asked me a year ago, but I am comfortable with this now, and find to be something good to aim for. I want to be comfortable with myself also, so I can be 100% comfortable around my boyfriend. Thanks so much everyone, and I hope you guys can help and listen to my journey. Definitely open for suggestions and help all around!
