Hi chicks! My name is Olivia, I am 22 years old, I am currently finishing up my Bachelor's in Biology, and I am fat. =)
I once weighed in at 300lbs 5'1 when I was a young teen up until I was 17, at this point I religiously went to the gym ( walked there and back too ) everyday and watched my calorie intake and in little over a year I was sporting a 180lb weightloss! The problem is, it didn't last that long... no no. IT pains me to say this, but after Highschool I fell into a depression from not knowing what I wanted to do with my life, or what my future held at all... so I ate... and ate......
And ate......
I no longer went to the gym and fell of the face of the internet forum world.
I managed to go from 125lbs to 250lbs in 3 years ( god bless my boyfriend who never once left me, nor was mean at all ) Then In May of 2012 I jad just gotten out for the semester and I was beyond determined to finally lose weight and fit into all my super cute clothes again, and generally feel healthy.. ( I was getting to the point where it was uncomfortable to lay down at night, 250lbs is a lot on a 5'1 frame ) From May I have slowly but surely lost 65lbs and have kept it off... I am going slow this time around, because with college I really don't have a choice, I am friggin swarmed with school work 7 days a week and sometimes ( a lot of times) the gym has to wait for another day because work is due.
But none the less, I feel so much better at 185lbs, SO MUCH!
Thanks guys! I am looking forward to making connections and sharing information and progress with you all, along with being able to be there for your achievements too!
