starting weight: 155

Motivation: I just want to be healthy. It was very hard to lose weight last year when we did this because I kept telling myself what a loser I was and how fat I was. I think I was doing the contest for the wrong reasons of trying to look good, instead of just being healthy. I'm not really fat, but the extra 15 or so pounds that I'm lugging around really makes it hard to exercise or just do what I do everyday. I want to establish good health habits, so that when tough times in my life come along I won't have to struggle with my weight too. So this time around, I'm going to focus on being positive and just making small baby habits.
