The Best and the Worst

Hi! My name is E. I'm 29 and as of this morning I weigh 285 lbs. Unfortunately, I'm not 9 feet tall. I'm 5'5. Yeup, I'm fat. Here's me at my fattest - right at *gulp* 300 lbs. This pic is a few years old (2008).

Shit. That's awful. An eye sore, I know. Hold the insults, please. I get it. It gets worse! I have a bachelor's degree in human nutrition and I work in the wellness industry. I know, crazy, right?? I exercise regularly and I don't eat allllll that bad. I've been fat since I was born.

The lowest weight I've ever been since college was about 220. This is me then (2006).

Much better, right? I was wearing a size 14/16 at that point.

The goal? 150 lbs by November 30th 2013. Yup, seriously. It's going to be HARD AS HELL. How do I plan to do it? Following the fat loss protocol outlined by Tim Ferriss in The 4-Hour Body. I'm going to chronicle my progress, frustrations, setbacks and successes right here. I'll share my weight, my pictures, what I eat, when I exercise and we'll see what we can make happen! I'm totally determined to transform my life one minute at a time!

Oh, and here's a pic of me from today, for fairness. :-) I bought jeans the other day in size 20. I'm strong for a fat girl - I do regular pushups - not on my knees. That's right - I can push up 285 lbs about 50 reps each day.

I'll continue to post progress, pics (including full body) as I go through this process.
