Hello All .... Well here is my intro...
I am at a current weight of about 225 pounds. I've recently lost 12 pounds in an office "Biggest Loser" type competion, prior to dropping 20 pounds between 0ctober of 2005 and February 25 of 2006. My highest to date was 262 pounds, and my lowest around 196. My absolute goal is to be at a steady weight of around 125 - 130. In my culture it seems that obesity has become acceptable .... It's okay to have a little junk in my trunk, and thickness is in and sexy. I used that as an excuse for so long, until reality hit me in more "weighs" than one. Over the past year or so I have become so intrigued with the fashion industry and although I may never be a model standing at only 5 foot 2 ... I can't fit into anything that I seem to adore without losing some integrity. So since I have seen some changes over the past month or so, I'd like to step it up a notch ... working with a new gym membership and trainer ... and a new attitude of passing by fast food establishments ... I have to make things happen this year. My best friend from high school who was a size 1 (people nicknamed us #10 back then) joined the service and I will be going down to Texas to see her on base in August and would love to wow her with my new look. My mother had gastric bypass surgery and has lost a significant amount of weight .... my twin brother got out and active and loss all of his weight .... and I seem to be the only one left in the family .... that's "fluffy" as my twin calls it ...
But it's my turn!!! I will be 21 soon and looking to join a particular sorority ... and I want to be healthy, confident, and also inspiring to my other friends who think big is in. ... Wish me luck !!!!
