)!I've lurked around the website for awhile getting a feel for it and I really like I've seen (read?), so I decided to take the plunge and join in!
My name is Jenny and I'm in Dayton, OH. I've lived here for close to 10 years - it's just me and my two cats, Zoe & Max. I'm 31 years old and love to scrapbook and take photos.
I have always been, at the minimum, chunky. Unfortunately, over the years (especially since college) my weight has crept up and up and up (well, you get the picture) until I am now moridly obese. A lot of bad stuff (high blood pressure, cholestrol, Type II diabetes) runs on both sides of family, so I really need to take much better care of myself to ward off these things.
I hit my highest weight early 2008 when I broke the 300 pound mark (right around 315 at the highest). During the rest of 2008, I started making small changes and ultimately took off about 30 pounds (to where I am now). I used the South Beach plan for part of the time. I restarted South Beach about a week ago and it's going well.
At work, we're starting a 'Team Lean Challenge' on Monday that runs for twelve weeks. I look forward to supporting/being supported at work during the day and here in the evening!
Anyway, that's enough rambling for now! I'm looking forward to exploring all the forums, in particular the 100 pound and South Beach forums.
