Hello from Chip!

Here’s the other cousin, aka the salty one.  (Wait, I didn’t think about how this whole
sweet/salty thing would work out. . . ) I live In Indiana and am a footloose fancy-free single chick.  Kind of.
(Kind of fancy free, not kind of single! I’m all the way single.  Just saying.  In case you know anybody.)  I do enjoy the sugar (especially in the form of ice cream), but I ADORE the salt. Doritos, Cheetos, Fritos.  Cheese popcorn.  Movie popcorn.  Basically I heart anything salty and crunchy
that comes in a bag.  And it shows. 

I’m here for weight loss too.  Unlike Choco, I am NOT doing it right.  Well, I haven’t been.  While I know the right things to do, I just haven’t been doing them.  At all.  But I think the motivation to bring out my “lithe
beautiful person” is finally starting to outweigh the laziness of my current, um, not-lithe person.  I’m not going to lie, the number one reason I want to lose weight is to look good.  I’d like to feel pretty in a sundress
sometime before I die.  But a close number two (heh) is that I want to FEEL good. I get tired so easily.  I get out of breath so easily.  I have almost zero energy.  And I just don’t enjoy being myself right now.  So getting healthy, as cliché as it sounds, is really important too. And I’d like to figure out some feel-good tricks along the way.  I really don’t want to put off my whole life until I weigh 150 pounds!

Oh, speaking of which, that’s my ultimate goal weight.  And I’m currently 206.4.  Yikes. Right now I’m just focusing on that 6.5 pounds to get out of the dreaded “2” range.  I’m pretty much lasered in on that at the moment.  Hopefully it won’t take too long, and then I can figure out a fitness goal too.  I like the idea of having a fitness goal like Couch to 5K to focus on rather than a pound number!  But I need to think about what will get me the most motivated.
