Hi!

This is a work in progress, so I will add more when I have time. I am a 20 year old female attending a large university in Massachusetts, but I am originally from the Washington DC suburbs. Since coming to the university, weight has slowly crept on and I reached my highest weight this past December at 185. While I have never felt like I was particularly "fat," I realized that my energy was very low, my self-esteem had dropped, and I needed to get serious in order to make a real change. I have lost 9 lbs since the beginning of January, but the real challenge has been maintaining good eating and exercising habits at school. My goal is to reach the weight I was at in high school, when I played field hockey every day, which is btw 130-135. I am in my second to last semester, and starting to feel the crunch! However, I refuse to continually make excuses for myself, because I am the one who has to live with their consequences. Good luck to everyone in achieving their goals!!
