Hi! I'm Elena, 27-year-old scientist and former belly dancer trying to get back in shape so I can dance again. I've been overweight since I was 4 years old, though I managed to stay at a healthy weight (140-150 lbs at 5'5" tall) during college by teaching and performing belly dance. In 2008 I started grad school, and that's when stress got the best of me and I ballooned to my all-time highest weight of 215 lbs.

Hi! I'm Elena, 27-year-old scientist and former belly dancer trying to get back in shape so I can dance again. I've been overweight since I was 4 years old, though I managed to stay at a healthy weight (140-150 lbs at 5'5" tall) during college by teaching and performing belly dance. In 2008 I started grad school, and that's when stress got the best of me and I ballooned to my all-time highest weight of 215 lbs. I'm now working in a research lab, and I got to the point where I couldn't afford to wait any longer! I've been doing boot camp with a great trainer that helps me not just with diet & exercise, but also with the mental and spiritual aspects of making a lasting life change.
I love: symphonic/progressive heavy metal, animals (although I'm mostly a crazy cat lady), reading (esp. Harry Potter and mystery/horror/fantasy), hockey (Florida Panthers!!!), dancing/exercising, and I'm obsessed with shoes and makeup!
