About me...


My journey "to not be fat anymore" started about September 2009. There was a GPSA Wellbeing Challenge and I thought it was a good way to get me off the couch. After the first semester of just working out more and not changing my food, I weighed the same. The second semester I decided to go full force. Since my birthday is in January it wasn't a New Year's resolution that I was going to break in a few weeks, it was a promise to myself. Since January 2010, I have lost about 20 lbs and am working for 15-20 more. I have had my fair share of plateaus, one of which was 9 months long! I broke through my giant wall  plateau by starting to follow the Weight Watchers Points Plus program. I'm a cheater in that I don't pay for it, but I follow their ways and track my points. I even found a free point calculator online. Now I'm just continuing on my journey...
