I AM FINALLY THIN IN MY YOUTH!!!!
(I've been waiting to say that since my chubby pre-teen years)....
I was fat my entire adult life.
There was a point when I was 11 where people were worried about me. My teacher took my mother aside and asked her if I needed help for being anorexic... I was that thin.
And no, I wasn't anorexic, I was just thin. But what happened after that is a big old mix of events, genetics, socialization, and emotions that lead to a tiny thin girl who filled ...

It's interesting being in "weight loss mode" again.I guess I officially stopped losing weight and put myself into maintenance in August last year.... I maintained my weight fairly successfully these past 6 months but I've gained back about 10 pounds in the last 3 months.
That's about 10% of my original efforts!
It took me a while to finally admit that I'd gained the weight and my original approach at losing what I'd gained did not involve getting on a scale to see exact...

I have been sick the last 7 days.... I think since I started losing weight more than a year and a half ago... this is the longest I've made myself rest.

So here I am rededicating myself to losing those last 10 pounds and I'd like to do it by the end of May... that's about a pound a week.
My Motivators:
- Being back at goal weight
- Fitting better into my clothes
- BIKINI seas...

So,Somehow I've gained 7-10 lbs in the past month. I am actually ok with this because I think a lot of it must be muscle weight as I'm not noticing any difference in my clothes. In any case, I am taking it easy with my calorie intake and being careful with some trouble areas - namely booze.
Now that I play sports, a common activity to do after a game is have a drink. Then, I've been meeting a lot of new friends lately and a common thing to do is have a drink together. So I am goin...

So as I start working on optimizing my weight training, this is what I'm starting out with.
I am quite impressed with my arm muscle definition but am working hard on my abs and back muscles right now. It's hard having extra skin in my belly area, though, to see my hard work.
