My name is Jessica. I'm a fattie. Yep. It's pretty much true.
I'm 19 years old. I'm 230 pounds, size 18, and measured as of a few weeks ago at 44-39-46... pretty bad case of apple shape.
I've struggled with my weight my whole life. I've tried a bunch of different things. I've tried getting a everything from getting a personal trainer to going for morning jogs, to water fasting, to workout DVDs with b-word women like Jillian Michaels. In the last six months, I've lost 18 pounds between a combination of all sorts of things.
Oh... probably the biggest things that I forgot to mention about myself.
I'm very impatient.
My favorite of the above methods that I mentioned is water fasting. I fasted for 10 days and lost 15 of those 18 pounds. Contrary to popular belief, I didn't destroy my metabolism, and I didn't die obviously. To be completely honest, it was the best I've ever felt in my entire life. I had so much energy and I was always happy and I didn't feel dependent on food. My hair and skin were so radiant and everything just felt great. While I was fasting, one of my best male friends also said to me "Jess, you look different somehow. There's a glow in your eyes. They're absolutely beautiful." It made me feel great.
That was back in March. :/ Since then I haven't been able to get back into the rhythm due to having a job and being a full time student.
Now I've realized, I don't only want to lose weight- I want to get healthy and active. I've always enjoyed sports, but I've never been able to play very well due to my lack of physical fitness and the self-consciousness of my size in athletic shorts in public. :P
Cutting to the chase
I saved up and purchased Insanity today. It's kind of pricey, but my mom's a health nut, and she split the cost with me because she's awesome . Anywho, the delivery date is for Friday Sept 30. Since the program calendar starts on a monday, I'm planning on starting on
I did a 10 minute sample workout from youtube. Oh my gosh it's bloody hard.
But I'm going with the attitude that the human body can accomplish anything set in front of it as long as your mind is up for it. Our minds are our biggest obstacle.
So- September 26 to November 30th. If anyone would like to join me, I would more than appreciate the company.
Lots of love- Jessica
