Introduction Text Hey everyone! I'm a sophmore nursing student taking one day at a time. I haven't had great success in managing my weight before or being happy with my shape. My goal now is to do my best and just try to loose weight in a healthy way. I'm 6'0" and I've always been self-conscious about my body (both height and weight). By 7th grade I was 5'9" and a size 11 so I always felt huge around my classmates. This didn't help create the best self-image for me... My highest weight was somewhere at or slightly over 200 lbs. and I wore a size 14-16. I never liked stepping on the scale because I just felt gross and mad at myself. I've never been thin or considered myself attractive but I'm hoping that becoming more active and losing some weight will help me become more confident and comfortable in my own skin. Feel free to add me as a friend! I love giving and recieving feedback and support :) UPDATE 11/16/10 Alright I think I'm starting to get the hang of this...I had a while where I dropped weight pretty quickly (always 1-2 pounds per week). A lot of this was before I found spark people. Now I've hit a big plateau and my body has been bouncing around 184-187 for the past month and a half and will NOT go below. So I got discouraged and kind of fell of the wagon a bit...I've still been eating better than I used to and exercising more, but I haven't been as consistent as I should. With only 2 weeks left at school I'm kind of dreading going home but hopefully I can continue to get in shape so I look awesome for my semester in Australia in the fall! It's time to rededicate myself. UPDATE 1/6/2011 Okay, so I definitely didn't keep up with my plan and I am sad to say I'm back to my original weight of 200lbs. But as I get ready to go back to school next week I want to start getting back into a weight loss routine - this means tracking my food and exercising regularly.

1) Feel good about myself 2) Loose 20-25 pounds 3) Exercise at least 4 times a week 4) Keep up with school work 5) don't eat out of boredom or stress

Mostly I'm trying to track everything I eat and exercise about 4 times a week (some weeks I manage 5 and others only 3 times)

I'm currently a sophomore nursing student dealing with all the stuff that comes with campus life...
