History with weight loss: Have struggled with being "the fat girl" since I was a little kid. During middle school (the summer before my 8th grade year) I acquired a bad habit called anorexia and I lost about 40lbs. Now I'm average but I still want to lose some weight.
History with Calorie Count: on n off relationship
Reason for joining this group: who doesn't love zombies? and zombie flicks?
Some interesting details about yourself,
such as
your job, your family, your pets and your interests: I play oboe in my city's symphony. I'm training to become a doctor. I love to dance and am on a dance team. I have a finance named Dylan, who plays the bassoon. I love horror movies. I'm addicted to coffee. And... that's all I can think of right now.
- I was always a fat kid in High School and it kept me depressed pretty much the entire time. I was one of those insecure kids that never really had a social life! I didn't even go to prom and all that jazz. Got fed up with it a couple years ago and started off with a simple mile jog each night. I've managed to go from around 220 to the 170 I'm at now, still on my way to trying to get 155. Someday! (Arg!)
- Just recently joined calorie count because I've been yo yoing back and fourth between 170 and 180 and its depressing me, I've been starting to have binging problems. Never tried counting calories before so here I am, we'll see what happens!
- I love zombies, frequently. I mean I love zombies.
- I'm in the Air Guard and I'm serving a deployment that landed me in Kyrgastan, now Germany. I'm looking forward to going home in July and hopefully being 160 by then! I don't have any pets but I want a german shepherd when I get home. I'm an avid gamer and I am a huge Blizzard fan, and I am anxiously awaiting StarCraft II!
