I'm 22 years old and have been married for a little over a year.  I recently graduated from Utah State University with a B.S. in psychology.  Grad school is the next step....hopefully in a program that specializes in working with adolescents.  Adolescence was an extremely difficult time in my life, as it is for everyone, and my career goal is to help make it bearable for others.

I joined calorie-count because I'm sick of being fat!  I'm 5'6", and weighed my highest of 232 pounds in March of 2006.  I have since then lost 44.5 pounds, and my initial goal is to reach 160, however, I may adjust my goal once I reach that.  I have always been a big girl, but I have gained over 60 pounds since high school, and I want to lose weight to be happy and healthy.
