About Me

I'm a 21 year old college student. I love books, instruments, teddy bears, kittens, letters and broadway musicals. I'm a marching band geek. I'm pretty much the nerdy girl who hangs with the nerdy guys.

Why I Want To Get In Shape

I'm actually a little hesitant to join this site, because when I mention to people that I'm trying to live healthier I get the "but you're thin, you don't NEED to lose weight" line. Which is really only half true. My BMI is towards the high end of a "healthy" weight for my height (started at 138), but I know I am not in good physical shape. So I'd rather not have this profile found by anyone I know from home except my wonderful bf of 2 years to avoid all of those comments. :)

I do want to lose some weight to put me at the lower end of healthy, but my focus is more on learning to eat right and motivating myself to get out for some physical activity on a regular basis, replacing some of that fat with muscle.

I'm not actually sure what my goal weight is, so I just put down what I weighed in high school and was running cross country; I may decide I'm satisfied before I reach that goal. :) I am away from my family and friends right now and I would love to lose/tone enough that someone notices when I go home!

My whole family is overweight/obese, and while I may have a decent metabolism now, I know it won't last forever. So I want to develop some sort of discipline now, before it gets hard!!

When I reach my goal, I am buying myself a new swimsuit and taking my pale Irish self to the pool to burn* (because tanning is not an option when you're Irish). And I will feel GOOD about being in public in my swimsuit!!

*just kidding for all of you SPF lovers out there.
