Default Project Skinny By Summer
Hi everyone!

I'm Julie, 20 years old, from Las Vegas.

I'm joining after lurking for a couple of days and seeing what cool people there are around here and reading many many stories.

I guess I should start out with how I gained the weight. Well, I was a pretty lanky kid until I was 13 and hit puberty. I put on about twenty or thirty pounds in under a year and I couldn't figure out why. I wasn't any less active than before and my diet didn't change. Wasn't until I was 15 that I was diagnosed with PCOS, which didn't get properly treated until I was 18. I kept gaining weight, though.

Around January 6th I hit my highest weight at 205. I was at my endo's office and I assured him that it was all down from here.

I was not kidding.

Right after that I started going to the gym six days a week, researching weight training and cardio routines, and about a month ago from today I got together with a dietitian to help out on the food side of things.

I started Project Skinny By Summer (SBS) a couple years ago, actually. But I guess I'm finally ready to complete it. I realize I'm not going to lose ALL my weight by then, but I'm looking to get as far as I can the natural way. Plus the name is catchy.

I've been losing weight slowly- I honestly thought I'd be about seven pounds lighter right now than I am- but I'm losing it.

My biggest inspiration is my two best friends who have been so successful in losing weight already, and are now looking to drop their last 20-30 lbs.

I was so tired of feeling held back by my size and not wanting to look in the mirror because of how big my face looked. Sometimes there are challenges (especially with food!), but nothing I've ever done is more worth it. ^^; I haven't lost much yet, but that's how I feel so far.

I'm looking to get somewhere between 135-145, and reevaluate if I want/need more when I get there. The biggest issue is patience! I want it all to fall off, like...three days ago! lol

Sorry for the rambling there. ^^; I'm looking forward to sharing getting healthier with everyone!

!!! I do love the name, PSBS- it sure is catchy!

I totally understand wanting it all off NOW. Most of us would be lying if we said we didn't!

15lbs is a great start! You just need to lose 15lbs 3 more times to get to 145! Sometimes it is easier (at least for me) to think of losing in increments because it can get a bit disheartening and feeling like 60lbs (well, now 45 ) is so far away, you know?

Anyway, welcome and looking forward to seeing more posts from you around here!

Maybe by summer is a lofty goal but by summers end u never know, maybe labor day can be a good goal date. Best of luck and hope this year u reach your goal, I know the not wanting to look in the mirror bit all too well.

That's a great way of looking at it! It really is a lot to go, but I'm determined.

I love this! It makes things a lot easier to bear.

I am also wanting to get a lot thinner by August. My husband and I are celebrating our 10 year wedding anniversary and want to be a lot healthier by then.
