Favorite movies Anything scary, even the cheesy ones.
Favorite music Very eclectic, favorite is dance music, latin, Jack Johnson, Ben Harper, Nickelback, Godsmack, Disturbed, Sinatra, love 80's music.
I am at the beginning of my journey, three weeks in. I have been heavy pretty much my whole life but I am tired of it. I have hired a trainer that is amazing. I have lost approximately 11.5 lbs but I am more excited about how the inches I have lost. I don't want to be super skinny I just want to be healthy and feel energetic and great everyday! I have met some remarkable people that have been super supportive (Steve Peters and Angie Nipper)!!! I have a huge support system and Steve told me this site would be very supportive as well.

I wish you all success in your goals!

    Eric I did an hour workout this morning, awesome workout. I then seemed to mess it by deviating from my clean eating...I had an overwhelming craving and lost that battle. Pissed at my myself but tomorrow is a new day...and new week.
