Time to Get Going!
 

Well here I am!

My name is Ava, I'm 24, and starting this journey at 162 lbs. While that isn't a particularly high number, I'm only about 5 feet tall so I definitely am carrying some extra weight.

I'll tell you what, I'm on a mission to not only change my weight, but to change my life. I want to be the person that I always envisioned myself being; fit, adventurous, strong, and whole.

Like many, I've struggled lately. Chronic stress, insomnia, and general malaise. The past few months I've just been trying to deal with where I am, and fully realize that I'm not who I want to be. Now I am finally in the mindset to tackle it.

I'm currently on the second week of the C25K program which I am loving. Also, I've been working really hard to find a good balance between working out and a healthy diet. No gimmicks, no pills for me. Just good old hard work.

I guess my first big goal is to get down to 130; a healthy weight for my height. I remember weighing that much in high school...if only I'd appreciated it more. ;)

Anyways...enough for now! Can't wait to meet many of you and start crushing my goals!

Hi Ava! I just joined this website, hmm lets see, 4 days ago? And I can honestly say it's helped me immensely both emotionally and mentally. I think you have a wonderful attitude regarding your health and fitness goals. I'm an insomniac too along with stress and depression. I also wish I had appreciated my old weight :) Glad to have you on this weight loss journey with us all. Good luck!

Thanks, everyone!

:wel3fc: I also want to change my whole life, I've always envisioned myself as a really outgoing, adventurous girl, but my weight has held me back so much. But we got this!
