I am 25 and just finished my associate's degree. I love video games, comics, Doctor Who, lazer tag, anime, all of japan for the most part, and anything considered nerdy. I have a 2 year lab mix named Zero after the "Nightmare Before Christmas" dog and also the patient zero concept in zombie movies.

I didn't add the dreaded "freshman 15" in college because I was there before I ever left High School. (sigh)When I was just becoming 10 I went from kid sizes to adult sizes in the blink of an eye. (almost) I also packed on the pounds. I went through such big growth spurts that made me eat a ton of food. The spurts suddenly stopped but my craving for food didn't. :( After that I haven't been under about 180 since I was 12 or 13. Recently it got worse though and I became 199 lbs! Thats when I started trying to change because I didn't want to become my mother who is over 200 lbs. Nothing has really worked because I have a hard time commiting to anything when it comes to my health. School I can commit to easliy so I am using the challenges on this site as if they are classes. (This is why I sign-up for so many.) I hope here I can find the motivation I need to have before I go for my BA in the next couple of years.

First things first though... I need to move out of my parent's place (again) and organize a wedding. (just one of the reasons to lose weight) I need to lose weight to feel better for myself, not feel like I'm a fish out of water with my breathing, to look great doing cosplay, and to be able to do my future career. I hope I can make lots of friends here and hopefully some local workout buddies. (near Wilmington, NC or Shallotte, NC anybody?)
