Main Goal
My main goal is to lose 20% of my current body weight. I have other smaller goals, like: fitting into my old jeans, running a 6-minute mile, doing 100 consecutive push-ups, completing a pull-up, and just feeling strong and healthy.
I'm hoping to get pregnant within the next year or so, but before I get pregnant and destroy my body - I want to start out slim so I can get back to it easier.
Favorite Workouts
Kick-boxing, Jumping Rope, Walking the Dog, Videos, Weights while watching TV, Racquetball -- anything fun that avoids monotony.
Things To Do Before I Die
Write and publish a book, have kids, visit all 50 states, travel to Japan, change the lives of kids, afford my dream house, learn how to ski/snowboard, contribute to a significant movie, learn Spanish, write a will, thank the people who have helped me, inspire someone to greatness, save one life, take a 2-month or more vacation, paint-frame-hang a picture, write final letters to family and friends, learn about and write about the lives of my family members, sew my own clothes, watch the sun set and rise in one sitting, learn the constellations and go star-gazing, grow and maintain house plants, grow a garden, change my own oil in my car, pack bags and money and drive with no destination, see the Northern Lights in Alaska, catch fireflies in a jar, live in New York for one year, build something, be a foster parent, buy and drive an electric vehicle...I'm sure there's more. :)

Favorite Books
Anything by John Irving, as that's mostly what I've read over the past few years for pleasure. Oh! And Harry Potter and Lord of the Ring Books. I've read a TON of counseling and school psychology books, which I also love. :)
Other Interests
My biggest interest is connecting with people. I'm big on human connections. I feel like life is pretty pointless without family and friends to share it with. It doesn't matter where I work or what I do, but if I feel like I'm making a difference and connecting with people - then I feel good about life. There's so much more to living than spending money. :)

About Me
I'm 24, married, work as much as I can, and I'm trying to figure out what to be and do when I grow up. I spend a lot of time obsessing about my next meal, which is too often than not - fast food (although I get the salads most of the time). I've been packing on the pounds since I came up to college, and I'd like to get back down to my pre-college weight. I tend to have great ideas and poor follow through, so I'm hoping the other people on here will help me stay focused.

Angie, what's up! I had fun being home over the holidays. I told my parents I wasn't coming home for the Holidays, and then on the 24th I knocked on the door. :) Mom started crying when she saw me. It felt good to hug both my parents again. How was yours?
