About Me

http://www.myfitnesspal.com/blog/jill927

HI! My name's Jill! I'm a college student, trying to lose that freshman 15 + some other weight I've gained in college... just trying to be healthier in general.

After I started this journey, I became VERY interested in nutrition and fitness, and I have changed my major from History/PoliSci/Religious Studies/I-have-no-idea-what-I'm-going-to-go-with-my-life to Dietetics! I'm so excited!
p.s. Dietetics involves a LOT of chem classes, so wish me luck! lol.

I've already lost 24 lbs to go from 215 (which is when I stepped on the scale and went Oh. My. God. This has got to change!) to 191! This was from March 1, 2008 to June 1st, 2008.

GOALS:

Lose another 6 lbs to be 185 by 06/16/08
Reward: get my hair cut and dyed
Goal Reached: 06/02/08!!
Getting my hair cut and dyed TODAY!

Weigh in: uh.... 192?!? WTF! Gained 7 lbs in 2 days? So not right.... maybe I need a new scale?

06/12/08 Ok, I don't know what happened there, but back to 185!

Lose 5 lbs to hit 180 by 07/04/08
Goal Reached: 07/01/08 OMG! :D
Reward: New shoes...hehehehehe DSW here I come...

Note: I finally got my braces off July 8! I'm a big kid at last!!

I was down to 175.5 around 07/15, but I've fallen off the wagon some and I gained 6 lbs back >:< So, currently I'm at 181.5. So I'm redoing my goal timeline from here on out.

Lose another 5 lbs to be 175 by 08/13/08

Why I Want To Get In Shape

I want to be healthier and more confident with myself. I want to learn to love my body for all the amazing stuff it can do, not hate it for all the stuff I can't do because of all the stuff I did to it!

UPDATE
After all my journeying and ongoing struggling with weight and nutrition issues, I've decided to go to school and major in DIETETICS. I want to be able to help other people do these awesome things too!
