So, my name is Beatriz and after much soul searching and a lot of cramming into jeans that used to fit, but do not fit anymore ... it's time to get my life back together.

My boyfriend boutght me an Android phone for Christmas and I downloaded this website's application and thought ... let's take weight loss seriously. So here I am ... I have always been up and down with my weight. Once I would hit the "target weight" I would keep up the exercise and diet for a couple weeks and then, the weight would be back up. I tend to fluctuate. This time is definitely the last straw, I am getting married in 2 years (I know that is far ahead), and I am staying busy in order to get my mind off food. I am a full time graduate student, as well as a full time advisor for ODU's undergraduat students.

I am trying to get back to healthy weight and look good at the same time. So I have decided to try to get to 155 by June 10th, my 25th birthday. We shall see how this goes.

Wish me luck.
