About Me:

I started gaining significant weight when I was 15 and wasn't as active. (Cheerleading, basketball, softball, tap/jazz dance, gymnastics, snow skiing) I miss them all! As I grew up I enjoyed playing cards and fishing which usually involves a beer in the other hand. I guess thats what you call sedentary, right? I have been yo-yo dieting for the past 12 years and I want to get rid of all of it and keep it off. I just want to be healthy and happy. I don't have a specific # or size in mind. Just a healthy BMI of 23-25. My first personal goal is to lose 36 lbs, which will bring me about 5.5 down on the BMI ticker!

My life is a little nutty and chaotic. I'm in nursing school and should be a RN next summer! Whew! I work at Nationwide Children's Hospital with the little angels and miracles on the Oncology floor. I love my job and hope to stay there as a nurse.

Any questions just ask! ;-)

For some reason I feel this peace about going in the right direction and not giving up. I spoke to the leader for awhile after the meeting about my yo-yo dieting. Lose 25, gain 67,… Continue

To you from me!

If you have this website then you need to know you are special to me. I started this page to be accountable to something on a regular basis. I will be honest and as real as possible about my struggles with weight. You are a person I love and trust. If your wondering how you can help me just come back and check on me to help keep me going! Thanks ;-)

I am so glad you joined us here at BTL ...this is a great place for support, motivation as well as encouraging words when you feel like you just can't go on any longer! When I am down and out or ready to give up this is where I come (of course the WW 200+ boards too) to get my head straight and to keep going :) I am glad you joined!! I am looking forward to following your progress here :)
