Default

Screen Name: RockyMtnGirl

Age/Age Range: 23

Family Life: Engaged

Occupation: Executive Assistant

Hobbies and Interests: Wedding planning currently

Favorite Music: Country

Favorite Color(s): Pink and anything with polka dots!

Favorite Exercise/Workouts: elliptical, weight machines, dog walking, or just my own version of aerobics during my favorite tv shows

What are your fitness/health goals? I'd like to lose 100 lbs and be at 150 for my wedding in June 2011. My goal is to lose 80 of those 100lbs by this July so I'm not too stressed when all of the heavy wedding planning is happening...

What was the "trigger" or incident that made you decide it was time to lose weight and become more fit? There have been so many triggers I can't even begin to name any, I've just always been fat, and always hated it

What do you struggle with the most on this journey to health? Secret eating... such as candy in the desk drawer, eating bite after bite while cooking...

What are three things in the area of diet/exercise you need to improve? Toning, I need to really get on top of toning! Consistent, just be consistent in my choices... it isn't a diet and exercise plan, it is a life change and habits I truly want to have be a part of my everyday life without much thought. Self-esteem issues while working out, such as not being afraid to be the fat chick at the gym...

(Evil motivation ) Who do you want to look better than? : Never really thought about it, I'd say better than I've ever looked!

What can you not wait to wear when you are at goal weight or size? My wedding dress! I don't want to buy a size 18 wedding dress, I want to be able to slip into that size 8 dress and be thrilled... I want to not have to wear sleeves just to try and hide my fat arms... I just want to glow on that day... and then of course I can't wait for the honeymoon and all that new lingerie I'll need to buy

Height: 5'1

Wink I'm new :)

Cdemay. Actual name: Charity!

I just turned 19

Living with mom and younger sister

I work at a Tim Hortons *blush* and go to school full time for Accounting!

I am so boring. I like to read, would love to love to exercise again, movies, video games, blah.

Alternative

Dark purple, and bright orange!

I love ellipticals! They are a pain in the butt but it works so many parts of my problem areas

I would really LOVE to not be classified as obese on the BMI scale. When I saw that, I almost cried.. Never thought of myself as obese.. just chubby! I want to wear a size 8

I saw a picture of myself and just realized "ew" That is what I look like in real life? My mirror is lying to me, I'm not judging myself fairly. This is it, I've gotta lose weight.

I really have a hard time avoiding sweets and big carbs like potatoes and breads. Also, working at Tim Horton's those timbits and bagels and just everything around you all the time is horrible. And when I drink coffee it has to have lots of cream and lots of sugar. I can't drink it any other way. Splenda's horrible, and milk is just bad in coffee. So it's become a maybe once weekly treat and a small one!!

Drink more water. Who couldn't? I have a water bottle that I fill up 3 times daily and it's more than the recommended amount if I can get that all in, but it's hard!!
Get out of bed to exercise!!

I can't think of anyone who I'd love to look better than, but I would LOVE to have the body of Kim Kardashian minus the HUGE butt. I love her curves. My body is like that, big boobs, hour glassish just with a lot of flab covering the good stuff right now!

What can you not wait to wear when you are at goal weight or size? I cannot wait to wear a tank top in the summer, or a bikini. I didn't even bother buying a bathing suit last year, which was pretty upsetting. I love to swim. Pretty much any summer clothes, tight and short and not look like a whale!!

S/C/G: 160/131.8/110

Height: 5'3.5" Yep, the half matters!

Default

Screen Name: bama girl

Age/Age Range: 19

Family Life: I am in college and live about 3.5 hours away from my parents. I have an awesomely supportive boyfriend.

Occupation: College student... I'm studying mechanical engineering. I also work at Victoria's Secret.

Hobbies and Interests: I am a big nerd! I actually enjoy doing my school work, I like to run and watch new movies, too.

Favorite Music: I like old psychedelic stuff a lot. Jefferson Airplane, Pink Floyd, Jimi Hendrix, etc...

Favorite Color(s): I like pink, but it clashes with my red hair, so green is a close second. =]

Favorite Exercise/Workouts: I like to run, but I'm not quite a runner yet. I am doing C25K right now and balance ball workouts.

What are your fitness/health goals? to avoid getting diabetes like my father and to be able to run at least 5k without stopping. Maybe more! =]

What was the "trigger" or incident that made you decide it was time to lose weight and become more fit? I snapped out of it and looked at pictures of myself on Facebook. I looked so much bigger than I ever did in the mirror, and it WASN'T just the camera...

What do you struggle with the most on this journey to health? Before I gained all the weight, I dealt with both anorexia and bulimia for about 7 years. It's hard not to slip back into unhealthy thoughts and practices, especially since I focus on numbers a lot.

What are three things in the area of diet/exercise you need to improve?
1.) Just freaking exercise! I need to get motivated. Probably no better time to do it than now. I am going to start taking a spinning class when I go back to school and that will force me to actually go and work out.
2.) Watch the sugar, alcohol, and carbs. All of which are basically the same. Those are my biggest food vices and what kill my caloric values for the day. I quit fast food for a month on Dec. 21.
3.) Set realistic goals and stick to them. I tend to tell myself things like "oh, it's ok, you can do it next time" when I fail.

(Evil motivation ) Who do you want to look better than? : Hahaha. Oh lord. There is this horrible girl that my boyfriend is friends with that constantly goes on about how hot she is. I can't wait for her to be going on about being a size 6 and be able to shoot back, "Oh, really? I'm a 4." That's not unrealistic considering my height. Other than that, I just want to look better than I personally ever have. And that doesn't just mean thinner.

What can you not wait to wear when you are at goal weight or size? Skinny Jeans! If they are still in style. Other than that, maybe short skirts and sexy lingerie and bathing suits?
