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 been a wonderful, active guy and things have been going great. We've been together about 6 months and he just moved in. 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 approximately 60 pounds. I still have about 50 pounds to lose to hit my ideal goal, but I'm taking it slowly.

Still taking things a 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 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!

“SW: 254 LW: 191.4 CW: 190.4 (down 1) TWL: 63.6 GL: 180 (May 3) Back to the grind! Was hoping I'd lose more than that, but I was only able to get 3 workouts in this past week. I have been making better food choices and I still have 7 weeks until I want to hit my next goal...so about 1.5 pounds a week. Since I'll be doing my OT in the morning for work, I'll be able to get to the gym Tues-Fri this week. Plus, helping my friends move into their new house Sat will burn a whole lot of calories! Looking to the future and staying positive this week...no matter what! ”

“I'm not sure if anyone else has run into this, but I've noticed that when I stay within the calories that TDP sets for me, I get all of my fruits/veggies and plenty of fiber, my scale goes up. I'm working a lot so I can't get to the gym, so I've been trying to make sure to stay at or slightly below the TDP calorie goal for losing 2 pounds a week...and so far the scale has gone up 1.6 pounds. Has anyone else ran into this? I'm just finding it very hard to stay motivated when I follow this and the scale keeps going up. HELP!!!”

“SW: 254 LW: 189.6 CW: 191.4 (up 1.8) TWL: 62.6 I haven't weighed in for a while and the scale shows it...up 1.8 over the past few weeks. This did include my vacation last week...but still, boo, hate to see the scale go the wrong way. Back to the grind today...ate healthy all day and getting back to the gym tomorrow. On a good note...it's finally getting warm...but not getting my hopes up about Spring yet...it is only March after all!”
