Hello! I'm the SturgeonQueen. I'm 25 years old and I've struggled with my body image my entire life... well, as long as I've been conscious about looks and whatnot. So, I started back in February, and have seen some results. I hadn't really figured out this place, so I wanted to re-write my bio.

My goal first of all, is to re-learn what I can snack on to be healthy. Not just snacks, but meals too. If I get put into a situation where I am going out with a bunch of friends - what should I look for to eat? So far, so good on this one. Not only does my BlackBerry app for this site help me, but I've made some memos and notes in my phone about what fast food items I can eat, and from where, etc.

Secondly, I want to lose this weight. My goal weight is actually a little high, but I don't think I've ever weighed that little. I believe my lowest was about 141, so I want to surpass that before I drop my goal even further.

Third, I want to get into better shape. I carry weight proportionally, so I didn't really notice when I was getting really heavy. I'd have days when I'd feel like I looked pretty good, and days when I felt like I looked awful. But now, it's time to get lookin' hawt and sexy. That's the goal.

I also want to meet people on here that are doing similar things to what I'm doing. Sometimes I don't want to talk to my mom or boyfriend about how I feel about exercising, or what I've eaten that day... so I like to find people to chat with on here. :)

OH: I also want to use this space to post a few things that I've found out. So the RDI on here is REALLY high, even if you put in that you want to lose a lot of weight (1lb/week). I went to a few other sites and found out MY RDI should be:

Fat Loss: 1790 calories/day
Extreme Fat Loss: 1352 calories/day

So I've set my diet inbetween those two, for 1500 calories. Usually I'll stick to the low end of that, between 1200-1300 calories per day.
