Howdy from Aggieland!!I'm Paige, 25, and I recently moved to College Station, Texas home of Texas A&M, where I do marketing for a non-profit that helps minorities and kids from bad socioeconomic situations get into Texas A&M. Yes, everyone really does say Howdy down here, it's something I've had to adjust to. :-). Anyway, you can find my other blog at http://bikedown.blogspot.com
Some quick background, I started the weightloss journey in 2004 when I weighed around 200 pounds (I'm only five feet tall). I successfully got down to 148 using South Beach and working out regularly. But then I panicked. I've always been the sweet fat girl and losing the weight started to make me feel like I was losing who I was. So crap foods started making their way back into my life, then the move added stress (and more food) to it all. I went back up to 164 in November of 2006.
I recommitted in December and was lucky enough to find this challenge, so I signed up. Last Wednesday I joined a Gold's Gym. My eating plan is like WW Core, only I'm not writing everything I eat down. That just doesn't work for me. My January goal is to work out 4 times a week, hoping to make it a habit again. I have an exercise class later today. I'm currently at 157.5 and would hope to get to the low 130's overall.
I love to ride bikes, I own both a road bike and mountain bike. My schnauzers (Porter & Paxil) are like my kids, I was in a 9 year relationship but some recent issues have put the brakes on that(read my other blog for that). I have a fondness for piggy banks, reading, and watching all types of movies.
Good luck ladies, we can sooooo do this.
