I'm a twenty something student who has a cat and a snake.   I'm a biology major with a anthropology minor.  I love Harry Potter, lounging about outside taking naps in the shade next to my cat, and basically most of the things that puppies enjoy (which is to say that my wants and needs are basic and without refinement)

Here is everything you might ever want to know about my weight history.  I've always had a great self-image and never cared or noticed how i looked until a good friend mentioned that i was always a little chubby last year.  i suddenly realized that i was significantly over weight and that it wasn't cute or healthy and that unless i did something about it, i would always be chubby and probably get worse.  I sat on this idea for a while and made small but ineffectual attempts to right my path.  I ate a little  less, cut back a little on sweets, and did VERY light exercise but surprisingly, i lost no noticeable fat.  So then i went and did the next to laziest solution- i started doing modest to intense work outs at the school gym after class.  This went on for a month and still i had no noticeable change (though i can't be sure because at this point, it had been years since i weighed myself).   Finally, i researched weight loss a little and begrudgingly, began a diet based on calorie restriction while continuing to exercise (though I've cut back on the exercise a little since class went out for the summer), thus, i began to lose weight and have continued since. 

I plan to continue losing weight until I look and feel healthy and slim  (I just want the visable fat deposits around my tummy to go away).  Now that I've lost thirty pounds though, I'm in really no rush to lose the rest because I look fantastic (atleast with cloths on), so if the last ten or fifteen take a year, no biggie.
