Hey everyone,
This is my first post on here! I’m Anne from Canada. I’m 6’0” and 169 lbs, with a goal of 155 lbs. I’ve lost about 20 lbs over the past 2 years. I know my weight is in the healthy range, however I have a very large bust (34E) that I would like to minimize for health reasons, and would like to clean up some areas (arms, thighs, and stomach to be specific), so I’ve picked 155 lbs as my goal. I think I would be happy between 150 and 160 overall. I also joined this forum because I have had a very unhealthy relationship between exercise, food, and my body in the past. I’ve been down to 112 lbs (unnatural, of course), and have been up to 205 lbs. I have very high anxiety, especially when it comes to this stuff, and while I LOVE exercise and running (nothing makes me happier), I wanted to come on here to have a support group that ensures I’m not overdoing it and that I’m also not underdoing it. After having put myself through so much, sometimes I let myself slack too much for fear of being sucked back into that extreme weight loss world. I know I can lose around 15 lbs and tone up while keeping my body in a healthy state.
Other info about me… I work in the aviation industry (always have, always will!) and through my work, met a lovely airline pilot. We’ve been together about 2.5 years now and are very happy! Because we still live in separate countries (he in the United States, me in Canada) and will for about 8 more months, we see each other weekly by flying to see each other on our days off. This means that I fly to the States every weekend! And because we’re trying to do as much “dating” as possible until we move in together and need to save money, this means eating out every meal while I’m with him – especially when I visit him! My lifestyle presents a very unique challenge to fitness and wellness that I’m sure you’ll all get acquainted with as I post more!
All the best!
Anne
