Introduction Text This is my second round in losing weight. My highest weight was in high school, at 199. I lost about 40 pounds in college, my low was 150, but I did not stay there long. I averaged 155 - 158. After college I had a job I did not like, which made me stressed and I began eating out a lot. I put on about 15 pounds. After changing jobs and moving to a new city I became sedentary, worked in a coffee shop where people tend to gain about 15 pounds as new employees, and the weight really piled on. I also stopped cooking when I moved in with my now-fiancé and ate the food he made, which wasn't as healthy and I often ate too much (he's an amazing cook). Currently I am in Hamburg, Germany for school and lost almost 10 pounds my first 2 months here just be not eating out as much and moving more. I began exercising at the gym and then realized I should look into the amount of calories I am eating as well and joined SP. My first goal is to get under 150 pounds for the first time in my adult life.

"Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by things that you didn't do than by the ones you did. So throw off the bowlines, sail away from the safe harbor, and catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover." - Twain “Life is too short to be anything but happy. So kiss slowly, love deeply and forgive quickly. Take chances, give everything, have no regrets and forget the bad in the past. Just remember what all it taught you.”
