    Umm YESSS of courseee!
    and hopefully by then I'll be able to post pictures : P I'll make lots of regular posts in the meantime to ensure that I can
    Plus when I was looking at the photos thread, I realized that I don't even think I have a full body photo of myself from anything earlier than last summer, and the Wizarding World of Harry Potter would be a great spot for that
  • Coolness!

    You know, I need to post pictures of myself there, as well. I've been wanting to, but have put it off because this week has been crazy busy. Ah well, the weekend cometh!

    Have a tremendous amount of fun!!

  • I'm a 35-year-old single mama of three kids whom I homeschool. I'm a lesbian with piercings and tattoos and tons of bumper stickers on my car. I'm an animal lover and run a nonprofit cat rescue that I founded (with a focus on special needs cats). I have one dog and 7 cats, and a foster dog and some foster cats.

    I'm in graduate school to become a counselor, during which I intend to hold fast to my metaphysical knowledge and take counseling to a new place in my work. I attend UU and identify with many new age, pagan, Taoist, and Buddhist teachings.

    I've been a single mom since January of 2005 and have packed on the pounds since. Got separated, gained weight. Got divorced, gained weight. XH became an addict and stopped paying child support, I gained weight. My mom became terminally ill, I gained weight. 3 months ago I broke my ankle, and guess what? I gained weight! That's when I passed the 300-lb mark.

    It's all going to change now.
  • How did I not notice this group before?


    MARITAL STATUS: Single, thank goodness.

    AGE: 28

    TOP WEIGHT: 262

    GOAL WEIGHT: 125

    EYE COLOR: dark, dark brown
    HAIR : Black, but I dye. I'm really a closet ginger.

    OCCUPATION: Freelance Artist, Student Assistant, Tutor, Animator

    HOBBIES/INTERESTS: Metal music, painting, drawing with charcoals, character design, photography, being outdoors doing outdoorsy things, nihilism, reading, learning, writing, traveling, creating.

    GEOGRAPHIC LOCATION: upstate NY

    FAVORITE COLOR: Black and red.

    FAVORITE FOODS: fruit- berries, peaches, grapes, bananas, apples, mangos, everything.

    FAVORITE EXERCISE: I never would have said this two months ago, but I'm a total gym rat and I love the elliptical.

    FAVORITE BOOK(S): anything by hunter s. thompson, david sedaris, chuck palahniuk, cormac mccarthy, burroughs, christopher moore... and anything instructional or reference, especially having to do with traditional and digital arts. I'll read anything once, whatever I can get my hands on. I have a mind like a sponge.

    FAVORITE MOVIE(S): The Big Lebowski, Wild at Heart, Henry, Super Troopers, UHF, Idiocracy, O Brother Where Art Thou, anything horror, mystery, crime, dark comedy, Donnie Darko, Clockwork Orange, pretty much any cartoon or animation I can get my hands on (however with the exception of a few amazing films, I generally dislike anime.)

    FAVORITE TV SHOW(S): While I have a tv, the only time I watch tv is at the gym... and it's usually sports and news related. I watch cartoons online all the time though, especially adult swim stuff and adventure time, and I watch an episode of It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia every day because it's the best show ever.

Buy their music!), Wolvhammer, and Skitsystem. I do listen to some other genres too, a kind of mutt mix of stuff... I love love love Queens of the Stone Age and Them Crooked Vultures, along with every project Josh Homme has ever done (though Eagles of Death Metal are my least favorite). Broken Bells, The Shins, Failure... I could go on and on. I love music.

    PROBLEM IN WEIGHT LOSS: Wishing it would go faster while at the same time forcing myself to slow down because I know I have to do this the healthy way. Also, being an animator is condusive to me sitting on my can a whole bunch while I work. At least with painting and drawing I'm on my feet.

    WHAT IS DIFFERENT THIS TIME THAT WILL MAKE YOU SUCCESSFUL: Honestly, this is the first time I've really truly tried to do this for myself.

Lotus on lower back, Winged cat with blue star on upper back (both are going to be covered up with a backpiece once they've faded enough.) An anvil and roses on my right foot. A star made of treble clefs on my left shoulder/arm. I have plans for many, many more... to start, in september, I'll be starting a full sleeve on my left arm and hand. Also, when I reach my goal weight, I'm going to go skydiving, then get a tattoo of a skeleton skydiving with long black hair flying and throwing the double goat. When I've maintained my goal for 6 months, I'm going to continue my chestpiece up on to my throat and neck. (oh hi there, above gigantic paragraph. Did I mention I love tattoos?)
