I go by Liz. I'm 18 years old now. My journey started on June 20, 2012—before I started attending college. My heaviest weight was 141 pounds and slowly, with hard work and dedication I got down to about 127 pounds. Then began my first quarter in college. At first I was dedicated, going to the gym about four times a week and eating small portions. But then seeing my roommates eat whatever they wanted, and eating almost twice as much as myself, and yet still half the size I was, I don't know, I guess I fell into temptation and I began to follow their eating habits. And before I knew it, I was back to the starting place, only worse because I was heavier than my heaviest weight at 143 pounds. And just like that all of my hard work during the summer was gone. I, again, was the fat one. The awkward girl who refusedto go to the beach because she couldn't wear a two piece. Anyways, for about 8 weeks, I suffered bulimic tendencies and sometimes I would go a few days without eating because I was so upset with my body. But just yesterday (02/03/13) I decided that it was time to start again. I know I haven't been using this blog all that much, and to my fellow fitblrs and lovely followers, I sincerely apologize. I think I've finally understood what it means to be healthy. I guess when I first got into this, I had the mindset that it was going to be temporary and I could eat whatever I wanted when I was done. Boy did I learn the hard way. This isn't a diet, this is a lifestyle.

I created this fitblr to document my weight loss journey.

I hope to achieve my ultimate goal weight through cost-free mechanisms i.e running, eating clean foods, and using free apps like LoseIt!, Calorie Count, MyFitnessPal, CalorieTracker, and iMapmyRun.
