I'm 35 years old and 5'4" tall. I've always been a bit heavy...as long as I can remember. Which, in retrospect, seems odd, 'cause I played ringette and softball and badminton and other stuff right through the end of high school. Oh wait, then came university and being poor and working weird jobs with even weirder hours...

I get close to my goals and think "Hey, I'm doing great! I don't think I need to watch what I'm eating so closely." Or "I don't need to work out so hard...I've been out for a walk today." Or even "Meh, I'm having a rotten week, I'm treating myself!" Ah...treats...you are so wonderful and deadly. And I am one of those people who has a bit of a hard time saying no to treats...

This is why I'm back. This site really helps me track my weight and make me mindful of my ultimate goals.

So let's begin again...

My goal weight is 130 lbs. That's my scientifically determined "perfect" weight, where I am neither too fat or too thin. (Though, to be honest, I'd probably be happy somewhere around 140ish or a bit less. I might re-evaluate that once I'm in the low 150s/high 140s.)


Mini Goal 1: To be under 150lbs by the New Year
Mini Goal 2: To be under 140lbs by my annual physical in late April/early May
Mini Goal 3: As close to my goal as I can get by summer


Looking for some folks who want to try with me and keep me honest and losing!

Love, luck and happiness...
