About Me

Not going to talk about weight here....although that's my goal (weightloss) you can read all about that in my posts. I'll just put the basics:
Starting weight: 195 lbs (back in August 2008)
Current weight: 185 lbs (lost 10 on Weight Watchers)
Goal Weight: 140 lbs (by this August hopefully).
Height: 5'9"

Aside from that, I'm a Clinical Laboratory Scientist at Henry Ford Hospital in Detroit, MI (have to cross the border every day from Windsor, Ontario). I have two bachelor degrees in medical science which I am very proud of. I'm still in school (one class/semester because I'm working full time) working towards getting back into school to become a Physician Assistant...or I might just go all the way and become a doctor like I've always dreamed.

I have a wonderful boyfriend (who is sadly 4 years younger than me...and always bugs me about being older ... I'm 26, and he's 22), but we both have this sarcastic sense of humor, intelligence, and a love for animals that makes our relationship awesome.

Speaking of animals, my boyfriend and I collectively (between pets left at our parent's houses and pets we live with in our apartment) have 19 pets (4 cats, 2 dogs, 2 goldfish, 7 birds/parrots, 1 snake, 1 gecko, 2 guinea pigs -> I think that adds up). We hope to provide a loving home to as many rescue animals as we are physically and financially capabale once we get married and become established in our careers.

That's about it for now!

Why I Want To Get In Shape

I'm sick of:
- feeling unattractive
- lacking confidence
- not feeling sexy
- letting food control me
- feeling tired
- feeling out of breath and/or dizzy
- having my doctor tell me that my weight may have something to do with some of my problems (only started being told this this last year...shocking!)
- wearing sweatpants all the time (although they are SO comfortable)
- feeling like none of my clothes make me look good

I can probably add to this every day.....

My Inspirations

I haven't filled this out yet.
