Introduction Text After years of off and on dieting, and also off and on Sparkpeople, I've decided to take a new look on losing weight. I've realized that because of the way my mind works, setting true and hard set goals tends to make it more difficult for me to continue working out/eating right. So this is just a tool I'm using. To help motivate, to help keep track. No real goal besides being healthy, and if I lose weight in the process then that will be awesome. ** EDIT: 4/09/09, I can now officially set goals without feeling like failure will be detrimental to reaching my goals. YAY for progress! I have a membership to 24 Hour Fitness, and routinely work out at the Northgate (Seattle) gym, so if you're looking for a buddy and also go to that gym, let me know :) **Fitness GOALS: - GOAL MET 04/18/09 - Walk up 1 flight of stairs without being winded *Walk up 5 flights of stairs without being winded *Touch my toes doing a forward fold bend - GOAL MET 04/11/09 - Jog a full mile without stopping (at 15 min mile) - GOAL MET 05/09/09Jog a full mile without stopping (at 13 min mile) *Jog a full mile without stopping (at 11 min mile) - GOAL MET 04/18/09 - Jog for 30 minutes without stopping (at 15 min mile) *Jog for 30 minutes without stopping (at 13 min mile) *Jog for 30 minutes without stopping (at 12 min mile) - GOAL MET 05/09/09 - Complete a 5k Race *Complete a half marathon *Complete a marathon *Complete a triathalon **Weight Loss Goals - GOAL MET 05/11/09 - Lose 10 pounds by June 9, 2009 *Lose 30 pounds by September 1, 2009 *Lose 45 pounds by December 25, 2009 *Lose 55 pounds by March 1, 2010 *Lose 65 pounds by May 1, 2010 *Lose 73 pounds by June 9, 2010 **Measurements Weight 183 ----------- (Start 193) BMI 32.49 ---------- (Start 34) neck 14 ---------- (Start 14) waist 31 ---------- (Start 34) hips 40.5 ---------- (Start 44) arm 12.5 ---------- (Start 12.5) thigh 21 ---------- (Start 22) calf 14 ---------- (Start 15) ankle 9.5 ---------- (Start 10) back 35 ---------- (Start 37) chest 39 ---------- (Start 40)

Burning at least 2,100 calories a week. I've been working out regularly for 2 weeks with out Spark People, so I'm hoping that I'll be able to keep up working out at least once a day. Now that school has started back up again. Snacking less! Any good recipes you may have, email them to me! I'm always looking for more variety.

My name is Megan, and I'm from Seattle, WA. I'll be graduating from the University of Washington this June, and working for a year before going back to get my Master's in counseling.

I'm a super huge nerd, I love sci fi, video games, and pretty much all things nerdy. If you can tell me where my screenname came from, I'll totally be your friend :)
