First Post. Let Me Tell You A Little About Myself!

My name is Michelle and I am a 23 year old female living in the Midwest. Throughout high school I was always small, I have a 5'0 frame and weighed about 105-112 pounds. That changed when I entered college and met my future fiance. The first few months of us dating we ate out every day; he believed that he had to impress me. Well those bad habits quickly changed into a not so good lifestyle. We would eat fast food or a sit-down meal in a restaurant daily. I must admit that this was partly my fault; I hate to cook. I am not good at it nor do I have the patience for it. Along with the horrible eating habits, my life soon got so busy with school that I did could not find the time for any sort of physical activity.

Well, fast forward three years later and I am still stuck in an unhealthy lifestyle. That is, until TODAY! I have decided that I truley do wish to change my ways. I have tried diets before but they have always failed. However, this time I have motivation. My fiance proposed this past February and I have decided that with all of the money that is being spent on the wedding, isn't it fair to myself to look good in the pictures that I will have for the rest of my life? To look how I WANT to look?

There you have it, it's written in stone (well, not technically, but just go along with me). The promise that I have made to myself. Look how I have always dreamed myself to look on my wedding day. My wedding is this coming May and that is the deadline that I have set for myself.

I have also gained some additional motivation by discovering this inspirational story of Taralynn. She became fed up with her unhealthy lifestyle as well and made a complete lifestyle transformation. View her story here <a href="http://undressedskeleton.tumblr.com">Undressed Skeleton</a> . On her blog, she also has workouts and recipes that I will be incorporating into my weight loss regime. In addition, I will also be using several workouts from <a href="http://toneitup.com">The Tone It Up Girls</a>. They offer fun workouts and their Youtube channel is awesome!

I AM READY FOR A NEW LIFESTYLE. One that includes eating healthy and exercising regularly. May 2012, Here I Come!
