When I Started:
Jan, 2006
How I Started:
My boyfriend got me into going to the gym, because my thyroid disease was taking a toll and i was depressed. I havent lost any weight yet, but i have gained muscle.
Why I Love It:
While I havent lost the weight I wanted yet, working out gives me so much more energy (which my thyroid disease also takes away) and it allows my boyfriend and I to hang out doing something healthy together. We motivate each other
How I Stay Motivated:
Mosltly my boyfriend,
but also knowing that I feel better and that if I stop I will GAIN weight. Id rather stay healthy and maintain my weight than to gain more

I had this up in the beginning but it was so depressing it only lasted a day I was 163 lbs
I still have a lot of work to do, the love handles are a bitch!! but I'm proud! Also I have scars along my sides which indent my skin... they cause ripples =( But hey with out the scars I'd be dead! always a bright side =)
I want to lose 30 pounds of fat, but still tone up muscle.
Goal (Long):
I have a thyroid disease and I have been trying very hard to lose weight. I have never felt comfortable in my own skin. I dont even like getting changed in front of my boyfriend. I want desperately to like myself!! I would love to be in a bathing suit by this summer!
I need to lose belly fat, but its mostly my back fat and love handles that make up my waist. I want to tone up my arms and butt as well. I have muscular legs but I could always make them better as well. I would love to loose some more fat in my thighs.
So, Havent been on in a while, I graduated May 1 from massage school! and im in the midst of moving so things are hectic!!! But, since My last entry I lost 9 more pounds! over all thats 18 lbs in a lil less than 2 months! So I'm pretty proud of myself. I plan on losing even more! I have to stray...
WOW, you have made some great progress. You can see the hard work you have been putting in. Keep it up, it is definatley showing. Best of continued LUCK!!!
Amazing progress! Oh, and congrats on completing massage school. Remember to keep practicing while you wait for the FL massage board to slowly crank out your license :) Sucks to go from 0 massages a day to a job where they want you to do 4-8
