Summer 2009--About the Weight I'm at Now
Despite my weight, I like this picture. (So much so that I'm growing out my hair again!)
Winter 2010. My highest weight ever. Ugh.
I have 9 pics in my gallery

Springing Back
I'm a magazine editor with renewed motivation for losing weight and changing my outlook on life. All my life I've been a book worm and non athletic, but I'm tired of feeling like activities, clothes or opportunities are off-limits to me because of my weight.
In the last year or so, I've really pumped up my activity--so much so, that I'd have to count working out as one of my hobbies now. Kickboxing, weight classes, step, spin--you name it. I also love decorating my house (and my ...
I'm a magazine editor with renewed motivation for losing weight and changing my outlook on life. All my life I've been a book worm and non athletic, but I'm tired of feeling like activities, clothes or opportunities are off-limits to me because of my weight.
In the last year or so, I've really pumped up my activity--so much so, that I'd have to count working out as one of my hobbies now. Kickboxing, weight classes, step, spin--you name it. I also love decorating my house (and my friends' houses!), organizing pretty much anything, upcycling thrift store stuff, and painting portraits.
I adore my photographer husband and my (black) goldendoodle Wesley, and I love hosting wine and game nights, going to the movies and planning out overseas travel excursions (Spain is next on our list).
I live in Cincinnati now, but went to grad school at Northwestern and lived in Chicago for a while and loved it.
And now I'm hoping this is going to be the next fabulous phase of my life--hopefully with a bit higher self esteem and energy and a little smaller dress size!

My Goals:
Whew, goals... well, I have two main objectives... I'd really like to get my BMI down below 25, and I want desperately to be able to shop anywhere I want and feel like things would look good. Maybe a Size 8? I love summer sundresses, romantic tank tops, etc, but don't feel pretty in them. I envision a day when I can go into my closet and just choose anything at all to wear without wondering if it will make me look fat.
My Program:
I'm tracking every bite (even when I mess up!), and sticking to the low end of my calorie and carb needs.
I joined a high-powered weight lifting class at the gym that I take twice a week. I've also taken up kickboxing! I do elliptical or "shred" on days I don't feel like working out.
Personal Information:
My name is Kate. I'm from Cincinnati, OH, and I'm an editor. I graduated from Northwestern's Medill school of journalism in 2006, and am politically and socially liberal.
