About Me

I moved to Pittsburgh in 2004 after finishing my bachelor's degree at Edinboro University in 2003. I have been working for PNC Bank since Aug 2004 and am currently on an underwriting specialty team verifying income. It's a lot less stress than my previous job, and I really think that's helping in my current weight loss.

I gained a bit of weight as a combined result of my sedentary job and a string of lazy boyfriends. I'm done with being lazy just because someone I may be dating is lazy.

I've met a wonderful, active guy and things have been going great and we've been together 10 months. I'm not used to cooking every night, but it's really helping me learn new and healthy recipes! He tells me I don't need the gym and I tell him it's for me, not him.

I joined weight watchers in the fall of 2007 and lost a total of 18 pounds with the program. I joined the gym in Feb 2008 and have been trying to go on a regular basis and to date have lost 74 pounds. I still have about 40 pounds to lose to hit my ideal goal, but I'm taking it slowly.

Still taking things one day at a time...I have a tendency to take months off of dieting/exercising, but I've finally gotten my metabolism in a place where I don't gain back everything I've worked so hard to lose.

I'm currently setting a goal of losing 10% by the end of the Biggest Loser season! That's 5 pounds a month...and very doable I think!

Update on the first challenge...I was under the impression it was over May 4, but apparently it's not over yet. I did, however, hit my first goal of 180 pounds. Woo-hoo! The next goal is 162 pounds by Sept 8!

Calorie goal: 1,079

Consumed: 0

Burned: 0

Net calories: 0

“I know it's only day 3 of being back on track for me, but I feel amazing already. I ran Sunday, did the Jillian Michaels' Shred video yesterday (kicked me butt) and did a 10-minute cardio blast workout this morning and I've been eating very well also. I'm doing weight watchers points and I've noticed that my points only equal a little over 1000 calories...no wonder people lose weight that way! Hopefully I can keep this up...this weekend is going to be tough as I'm going to DC for the PSU game and my friends aren't overly supportive of my healthy lifestyle! Does everyone weigh-in on the same day or do you all pick your own days to weigh-in?”
