This is my first official blog entry, and I'm not quite sure how I should begin. I should probably introduce myself, huh? My name is Jen, and I'm twenty-eight years old. To be honest, I'm really ashamed of my weight, so I don't plan on revealing my full name or posting any photographs of my progress -- at least not yet, anyway. Yes, I know that's pretty lame, but I feel very, very self-conscious. If other people read this blog, that's fine by me, but if no one does, I'm perfectly fine with that as well. That said, you're more than welcome to come along for the ride. I'm writing primarily as a way to keep track of my progress, and I plan on writing updates at least twice weekly.
Anyway, I started gaining weight about three years ago. For most of my life, I was really thin. Some would even say I was underweight at one point. From fourteen to twenty-three, my average weight was between 105-110 lbs. I'm 5'3", so needless to say, I had a pretty enviable figure. In 2007, I was around 120 lbs., which I didn't mind, but by 2008, I weighed between 130-135 lbs., which was pretty upsetting to me at the time. Over the course of a few months in 2008, I was successful in losing ten pounds, but over the winter of 2009, I gained it back with interest. By April of 2009, I was up to 150 lbs., which completely devastated me. To make a long story short, as of today, I weigh 175 lbs. That's completely unacceptable to me; that's something that I desperately need to change, hence my decision to start this blog. I have several fitness goals, but from a weight loss perspective, I'd like to get back down to 120 lbs. I'd especially like to be down to at least 140 lbs. by July 1, 2011, so stay tuned.
