And finally, introducing Chelle

Name: Chelle
Age: 32
Starting Weight: not willing to say, but it's closer to 300 than it needs to be.
Size: 22-24
Weightloss Goal: According to my old doctor, I should strive for a weight of 158 lbs, so 125ish lbs. Ideally I'd get below 200, but honestly? I'd be really quite happy with 30 lbs for starters. That's over 10%.
Weightloss Plan: No plan yet. Working on it. Stop stuffing my face is probably the first step. yarg.
Weightloss Strengths: uh. I like to eat. Oh wait. Maybe that's not such a good thing... Umm, I really do like veggies.
Weightloss Weaknesses: I'm a complete mix of the other two. I'm an emotional, unconscious eater. I love to eat out, love cheese, salt & all other things bad for me. I eat til my plate (or the bag...) is empty, not until I'm full. I "know better" but seem to have a mental block putting it all into practice.
Inspirations: My husband and I have been trying to get pregnant for a few years now, and our next step is IVF. Spending $10,000 to attempt to get pregnant at this weight isn't worth it, because the procedure would most likely fail. I need to be at a healthier place before we attempt IVF, hopefully this will help me out.
General about me: My husband and I met online about 12 years ago - you know, before it was cool :P We live in Halifax, where he works for the feds, and I aspire to work for the feds. In the meantime, I'm the "girl Friday" at a small accounting firm. I also love being crafty, baking, spending time with friends and martinis. Loooove my martinis.
