This is my keeping myself accountable and organized journal (lyralee is my journal for general personal junk). It's mostly a dieting journal right now.

I have always had weight issues, and since graduating from college in '04 I've been doing the yo-yo like crazy. February '07, I shot up to my highest weight ever, packing almost double the weight that a short girl like me should be. I got down to 143 in late 2007, shortly after getting engaged. Wedding planning stressed me out and I gained back some, but managed 150 for my wedding March 2009. Within 4 months after the wedding (although attempting to diet a few times), I packed on about 17 more pounds, which is what I'm currently trying to lose.

Feel free to add me! I am always looking for new friends, especially if you are similarly trying to lose weight and want a buddy for motivation and idea swapping, etc. If you friend me and want to read my intro entry and diet plan, check out the memories.
