I've been committed to maintaining a healthy lifestyle since I began my weight-loss journey, which has since become a life-gaining journey.
I am a young professional in the IT consulting field on the East Coast of the US. I joined Weight Watchers in August 2010 weighing in at 226.2 pounds (I had previously lost ~10 pounds on my own, making my highest weight ~235 pounds). I left Weight Watchers in June 2014 and began using MyFitnessPal at that point. I have also struggled on and off with depression and anxiety, all of which is both a product of and a producer of my weight issues. It’s a complicated cycle, huh?
I love to ride horses, volunteer with local animal shelters, sing in the rain, and take every opportunity to look like a fool (so long as what I’m doing isn’t foolish). I’ve spent too many years avoiding life; I want to spend the rest of my time on earth living fully.
