Introduction Text Hey there! My name is Liz and I'm a 22 year old, recent college graduate. I was born and raised in the fantastic state of Minnesota--I have a huge amount of state pride and want to live here for the rest of my life! I graduated in June of 2007 with a BA in English Literature and a minor in Art History. Right now, I'm transitioning away from college life and trying to find work. In the future, I may be attending graduate school to get a masters/PhD in children's literature, and after that--who knows! I have been overweight my entire life and have gone through it all--emotional eating, eating disorders, crash diets, significant weight gain, you name it! I just reunited with SP after a long hiatus and am so excited to be back! I am outgoing and enthusiastic; I love having fun and laughing--and I am tired of my weight holding me back. I no longer want to be defined by my body, I want to be defined by ME! Please feel free to leave any comments or words of encouragement--I promise I will return the sentiment! I cannot wait to discover the person I was meant to be. I am starting to realize that my life is full of possibilities. I am young, bright, and have the great luck of receiving an excellent education and the continual support of my family. There is no reason that I should let my weight hold me back anymore. I am DONE being the fat girl! I am a weight loss warrior!

I would like to lose at least 100 lbs from my starting weight of 246 lbs (so no big deal or anything, haha). I want to reign in my emotional eating habits, and ultimately accept and love my body. Finally, I want to be defined by my self, not my body--I am tired of being the overweight sidekick friend because I am so much more than that! Also, I want to fit into awesome clothes, be able to flirt with boys, and be enviable. ;) SW: 246 (6/25/2011) 5 lbs (241) MET 7/13 10 lbs (236) MET 8/10 15 lbs (231) MET 8/24 20 lbs (226) MET 8/31 25 lbs (221) 30 lbs (216) 35 lbs (211) 40 lbs (206) 45 lbs (201) 50 lbs (196) 55 lbs (191) 60 lbs (186) 65 lbs (181) 70 lbs (176) 75 lbs (171) 80 lbs (166) 85 lbs (161) 90 lbs (156) 95 lbs (151) 100 lbs (146) GW: 146 for now but who knows! Eventually I would like to become a runner and complete the Insanity workout program...I want that t-shirt!

-Eating between 1300-1400 calories, trying to get an appropriate amount of carbs, fat, and protein. Tracking everything! -Drinking 8+ glasses of water and 2-4 glasses of green tea. -Exercising a lot! Cardio almost every day, mostly elliptical -Taking a multivitamin every day -Sparking regularly

I'm enthusiastic, outgoing, and pretty silly...but because of my weight I have social anxiety issues and confidence problems. Time to change that! While in college, I was part of the amazing sorority Tri Delta...I also enjoy knitting, hanging out with friends, watching TV and reading. I'm extremely close with my family and am a firm believer that the relationships you have in your life are far more important than career achievements. I am extremely passionate about one day starting a family and want lots of kids!
