Main Goal
I want to feel healthier and have less back pain..which I know losing weight will help. I also am a massage therapist and it will help with the physical demands of my job. I'm hoping to lose a total of 50 lbs. But I'd atleast like to be 20 lbs lighter by this summer!
Previous Diets
I have tried EVERYTHING, but I know now that it comes right down to pure motivation and determination...well, and maybe some prayer :) I have tried the Atkins, LA Weight Loss, Weight Watchers, Liquid Diets, Meatless Diets, Carbless Diets, Nutri-System and even weight loss pills which would be too numerous to list.
Favorite Workouts
Walking is the one thing I can do that I enjoy and will stick to. I like eliptical machines, but I don't have a gym membership. Dance videos are always fun. I like to do some yoga, which doesn't help me lose weight, but helps to keep me stretched.
Things To Do Before I Die
Make a difference in the world and in the lives of others in a positive way :) Well..I'd also like to go scuba diving, bungee jumping, rock climbing, skydiving, and all those other fun risky things that you could kill yourself doing..lol!
Favorite Activities
Reading, movies, games, listening to music, bible study and church activities, being with friends and family, scrapbooking and other crafts.
Favorite Music
I love to listen to worship music and contemporary christian music. My favorite bands are BarlowGirl, MercyMe, Dave Crowder Band, Superchick, TobyMac, Britt Nicole, Kari Jobe, Seventh Day Slumber, Disciple, and lots and lots of others.

Gone with the Wind, Dirty Dancing, How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days, 13 Going on 30, Lord of the Rings, Chronicles of Narnia, ALL of the Rocky movies, and more...
Favorite TV Shows

About Me
I'm a 26 year old female from Southern Maryland, now living in Central Pennsylvania. I have been overweight all my life, and was always the "fat girl in class", which I imagine many here on this site have also experienced.
Recently I have felt this new strength in me, a strength I credit to my Lord and Creator. I'm learning to embrace my feminity and being a "strong" woman. Especially during this season of singleness I've been experiencing. I want to lose weight not for superficial purposes, but because I want a challenge! I want to accomplish this one feat which I've always been a failure at. But..you are never a failure as long as you keep trying..and that's what I'm doing. Except this time, I'm making a life change. I'm looking long-term. I'm embracing the fact that this isn't some "diet" or "seasonal" thing in my life, but its a committment and a life goal. I'd love to be encouragement to others and hope to find encouragement from others here.

I think this site is great. Losing weight can be a constant battle so it's great to meet people facing similar challenges. I think having the support can make a world of difference. I love meeting people with a positive attitude such as yourself. I look forward to continuing conversations with each other and providing support.
