Last summer, after having graduated from college, I gained a bunch of weight.  I'm not sure if it was because I was taking on my boyfriend's eating habits, or just because I didn't care.  So when I moved home in September, instead of going back to school, I decided to start a new lifestyle in the "real world".

I've always been moderately athletic, but never consistent in working out.  If I ever noticed weight gain, I would work out and diet until it was gone and then stop caring.  In September,  I started paying more attention to what I was eating, and did my best to make good choices where I could. I didn't work out every day, but I made a point to go to the gym at least once a week so I keep the habit.  I didn't even notice losing the weight until around Christmas, when my clothes were suddenly roomier.

I joined CC because I really, really want to change  my body, and keep it that way. I want to keep up this habit of working out and paying attention to what I'm eating.  The weight I've lost already is making my clothes fit better, and I love that I'm in better shape.  Now that I'm starting to see results, I just want to keep pushing so that I look good.  If I could go down just one size and keep it off, I think I will go into this summer much happier.  I have a pair of size 27 Seven jeans that I desperately want to fit into... comfortably :)
