Kerissa's journey to 160!
Hellloooo, I'm Kerissa. 21 years old. Self-proclaimed foodaholic.
For the better part of my young life, I have been overweight. I can't tell you how many times I've fallen off of the wagon, got back on, fallen off, stayed off, and gained more weight while I was down - furthering me from the goal I had in the first place. I remember there was a time when I first signed up for SP and I was 224. I visited the site once after signing up and not again for another few months. I typed in ...
Hellloooo, I'm Kerissa. 21 years old. Self-proclaimed foodaholic.
For the better part of my young life, I have been overweight. I can't tell you how many times I've fallen off of the wagon, got back on, fallen off, stayed off, and gained more weight while I was down - furthering me from the goal I had in the first place. I remember there was a time when I first signed up for SP and I was 224. I visited the site once after signing up and not again for another few months. I typed in my weight update upon my return, and I had gained ten pounds. That was two years ago. No more. I'm from Florida, and I can't escape the year-round bathing suit season. I don't WANT to! I want to revel in it for once. My ultimate goal is to be at my goal weight of 156 pounds by my spring break trip. Very possible if I stay on TRACK every week!
More than that, I want to be a healthier and happier Kerissa. I don't want to be the girl who has a "pretty face but could lose some weight" (and yes, that's a direct quote). And of course I want to stop avoiding body shots on the camera, but begin to look forward to them :). Overall, I want to drop the weight to feel comfortable in my skin and enjoy being young. I need to create a new lifestyle so I can teach my future kids what I never learned growing up. This isn't just for today, this week or this month - this is FOR LIFE. I'll be updating the section below once a week to show my progress!

Member Since: 1/1/2011
SparkPoints: 9,904
Fitness Minutes: 10,231
My Goals:
(Updated 6/18/13)
End of June - 200
End of July - 192
End of August - 183
End of September - 173
End of October - 164
Mid November - 160!
Even longer term? Maintain a healthy lifestyle that I create, and make it so that I never end up anywhere near 200 again. I want to make this a mindless, daily practice.
My Program:
I workout 5 times a week - no questions asked. It's usually for about 35 minutes to an hour, mainly stationary biking and running/walking on the track. Just focused on finding new ways to torch calories and not get bored.
I also incorporate weights 3 out of those 5 days (every other workout for healing). Each of those sessions are usually devoted to a different "third" of my body. Top third (arms), core, and lower third (legs).
I follow the SparkPeople eating plan calories, not the actual food suggestions, though. Following that strictly is key to losing weight when I workout.
Personal Information:
I'm a transplant from Jamaica, to Florida (my heart is always there), and now Bahhhston. Soon, LA (Spring 2014!)
