Hi everyone! My name is Kaiti. I want to start another one of these for a few reasons- number 1) the first one I made had a very shallow title. Number 2) I don't do well when I'm not accountable to someone, and I have yet to find someone around me to be accountable for. And number 3) I'd much rather be accountable to the coolest group of people in Internetland (I also believe in shameless compliments and buttering people up--but no more talk of butter; that's what got me here in the first place!!)
There's been a lot that has inspired me lately to start really doing something for myself. If you don't watch the A&E Network, ya should. There's an amazing new show on there called "Heavy". It chronicles the journey people make on a 6-month plan to lose the weight that is physically crippling them. It's an amazing show. One episode a couple weeks ago featured a girl named Julia who reminded me of myself. She wanted to be successful in work and peronal relationships. She was afraid of getting diabetes, and she was afraid she wouldn't be able to find love until she lost the weight. She was really successful- she lost 88 lbs in a 6 month period. And it got me thinking: what's stopping me from losing 88 lbs in a six-month time frame?
The answer is really simple- only myself. Well, I'm tired of standing in my own way and I refuse to become a victim of my own doing. So I'm doing something about it. I have 179 days before my next trip to The World, and in the time between then and now, I plan to lose 47 pounds to be at my goal weight, and get my BMI in the healthy range for the first time in years. I cannot wait to get started, and I would love for everyone here on these boards to join me in my journey. I know I can do this!!
Here's the basic facts--
Age:25
Current Weight: 192lbs (lost 12 lbs after a brief bout of mono- it counts, right??)
Goal Weight: 145lbs
Pounds to lose: 47 total lbs.
Let's Get Rockin'!!!
