hi
First name: Rachel, some call me Rae
Geographical location: indianapolis
Age: 23
Marital Status: Single dating is hard
Children/Ages: N/A
Occupation: student studying communication technology/sound engineering
Pets: none
Hobbies/Interests: any thing tech like, classical music geek, sci fi nerd, traveling, anything arty
Height: 5"4
Eye/Hair Color: blue green/ redish
Starting Date of Weightloss Journey: Feb 13 2012
Starting Weight: 242 although it may have been higher at times
Present Weight: 211
Goal Weight: 150ish maybe 140 ultimately but don't want to make it too difficult of a goal.
Biggest hurdle to overcome in weightloss: I HATE VEGETABLES!!! with a passion. I find them so boring and such a chore to eat. I think i find the restriction of eating certain things the hardest thing for me in general.
Following any specific plan: Well for me no foods are permanently off limits except for soda ( diet and non diet), I limit my portions but nothing else is off limits. I try to avoid eating as much processed food, or fast food. sometimes I slip up. But I kick butt at the gym. I go every day for at least an hour and make sure I burn 500 -700 calories each time. my weight loss is 80% exercise and 20% diet.
What is different this time in your weight loss efforts than in the past: Well I never really made a conscious decision to get serious about weight loss. Any other small attempts to lose weight were based on what others thought of me. This time I did this for my self. I was sick of feeling bad and looking bad. I had lied to myself for years saying there was no way I could lose weight, my genes are against me, blah blah blah, I just made the decision and now I'm determined to succeed.
Anything else you would like to share with us: I wanna be smoking hot , that is all.

I am a twin, and my fiance is also a twin, therefore I know we probably carry high chances for twins, and I don't want to turn into my mom who still has her baby weight 25 years later.

Following any specific plan: No specific plan, just trying to make healthy eating choices and have reduced portions, and cycling daily to boost my metabolism and tone my bum
What is different this time in your weight loss efforts than in the past: I'm mentally much healthier, and don't feel I need to use my fat as a defensive wall to keep other people away. And I want an easy pregnancy and healthy child, which I hear weighing less helps with - I might struggle to do this for me, so I'm doing it for my potential kids instead
