Well, hello there! My name is Amber and I am 21 years old (22 in a few short days
). I hail from California, um, I'm a Virgo, I like long walks on the beach, and hot tea, good books, batman movies . . . Oh, and I'm overweight.
I wasn't always though, I'm pretty sure. It's the darndest thing. I was living my happy-skippy life here in the mountains of Shasta Valley and before I know it (which is weird, considering I signed up and trained for it) I was smack in the middle of New Orleans cleaning out houses and schools and things!!
Now, I don't know if you all know this, but they have some really, really good food down there.
Maybe too good, actually. That seems to be what got to me anyway. Wouldn't you know it, 18 months in the gulf and nearly 70 pounds later I am not quite the happy camper you'd expect. Don't get me wrong, I loved every minute (and every bite
), but I have decided I am more than ready to shed all the bayou delectables cluttering my thighs. I have been lurking (not in a creepy way, I promise) on these boards for a bit and I decided I would love to give and receive some of the amazing support I've come across here.
So yes, hello, and I hope to see you around the gym.
