Hello all!
As of today November, 11,2014 I weigh 250 lbs. I am 5'4" tall, which I understand means that a healthy weight for someone my size should be somewhere in the range of between 125 lbs and 150lbs. My goal weight at this time is 150 lbs, I haven't weighed 125 lbs since I was in the seventh grade. I really put on weight after I stopped taking adderall in high school and then again after I quit martial arts, which I was doing roughly 12 hours a week between classes and helping to teach. I was running for a while and had been doing mostly 5K (3.2 miles) races and have also done a few 8 and 10k races (5 and 6.2 miles respectively) and one half marathon (13.1 miles) I would like to get back in to running and I want to be healthier which means eating healthier and exercising regularly. I also have Hypothyroidism, which makes it a bit harder to get back to a healthier weight but I'm feeling optimistic. My SO is in the Navy and has lost a total of 60 lbs and both he and I want to be healthy together.
