About Me

This photo was taken after my 30 lb weight loss
Hi my name is Lanette. I am a 27-year-old who has been struggling with weight since senior year in high school. My heaviest was at 241 pounds, now I'm bouncing between 208 and 210 (scales are funny). I've always lied about my weight to people and of course made myself skinnier than I really was. It took me awhile to admit my real weight to others. Many wouldn't even believe I'm in the 200's. My overall long-term goal is to get down to 150 pounds. 
I signed up at a gym for the first time ever back in December 2011. And in April of this year, I started taking the gym seriously, going consistently and eating better. Now it's six months later and I'm down 30 pounds! 

 Even though I lost a great amount of weight, I'm still considered "obese" for my age and height. This blog is a way for me to track my progress, post interesting health and fitness articles and connect with others who are also in their journey to slimming down and becoming healthier. So follow me and lets support each other!

 Other things about me: I'm a journalist, I love blogging, I HATE running and I really love to eat.

I also keep track of my calories (I try to everyday) on a wonderful app called MyFitnessPal.

    Hi Lanette!

    I am so inspired by your dedication!

    I'm in the same boat too. From your first sentence about yourself, I thought I was talking lol

    I have been trying to get into a gym and health groove for the longest. I would start to, but then it would kind of die out.

    I am going to be reading more about your progress and I hope to really get into it as well!

    I would love to hear more about some of your gym workouts!

    Good Luck!

      Oh I definitely will!

      It certainly isn't easy. It's hard to start especially being a Spanish girl. Rice and Bread are hard to let go! lol
