Introduction Text Hi, I am not completely sure what I should say here. I have been trying to lose weight off and on all my life and even though I have succeeded a few times nothing has stuck and now I find myself at my heaviest that I have ever been! I just want to feel confident and good about myself again. I don't care about doing my hair and make-up anymore or buying new clothes, basically my present life is spent wearing baggy pants and sweaters. It's not a great way to live! I work with children and part of my job is to help them improve their self-esteem but sometimes it feels useless if I can't even improve my own. I am a very positive person, I am the friend that is "always smiling" yet that isn't always how I feel on the inside. I miss that girl and desperately want to project on the outside what I feel on the inside and not have to fake it. I have recently been trying to take some steps to better myself starting with developing my own "Happiness Project" based on the book by Gretchen Rubin. ( I highly recommend reading it if you get the chance) I also just recieved an Xbox 360 with kinect for Christmas which I am SO excited about as that plans on being my main form of excercise. There are many things in my life that are presently going through change and I am excited for the future! I just want to succeed this time and make it a life long change! I look forward to meeting new people that are struggling along side me! Happy 2011!!! p.s It has been brought to my attention that the weight on my ticker doesn't make sense lol.... its actually supposed to be in pounds not kilograms, it just doesn't want to cooperate for some reason :) So starting weight = 225lbs, goal weight= 150lbs

I am 25 years old from Ontario, Canada and I have a diploma in Advanced Child and Youth Work. I love working with children and trying to improve other's lives, now it is time that I focus on my own :) I have a Chocolate lab named Ozzie and 3 cats Lily, Brady and Blacky. Singing is a passion of mine and I love performing in front of audiences! I enjoy music of all kinds and think it is the best form of expression. I am inspired by positive people, the beach, God and reading. Reiki, Chakra's, Buddha, and spirituality in general interest me and I am very passionate about constantly expanding my spiritual knowledge. I am a HUGE sports fan specifically football..the Titans are my favorite team but Tom Brady of the Patriots will always have my heart ( I even named my cat Brady after him) haha and well since I am from Ontario and even though I am ashamed to admit it sometimes when it comes to hockey GO LEAFS GO! haha
