Hi! I'm Leslie from Richmond, Virginia and I'm 26 years old. I am a vegetarian, which many find unbelievable with me being so large. You would think I diet of all veggies would render me thin, but not so much. Carbs are NOT my friend! I need to find balance in my diet and be sure I'm eating all the right foods. On a personal note, I have a wonderful fiance I've been with for 4 years and 3 dachshunds who are like my own four-legged children. My only goal here is to be healthy and active. I know the weight can fall off, I've seen it happen before. I simply lack the motivation and drive to reach my goals, and that's why I'm here. Once I reach my goal weight, I promised myself that I'm doing 3 things I've always wanted to do: 1.) Go Skydiving with my Dad. He's licensed (pro) so I know I'll have so much fun with him and actually get to bond over something he loves. 2.) In the summer, taking a vacation to Tornado Alley, Baby! You spend 2 weeks touring with the best storm chasers around, catching tornadoes, insane lightning storms and having a blast doing it. 3.) In the Fall, heading off the Nassau, Bahamas to swim with the Tiger Sharks and actually hand feed them underwater!! It's going to be so awesome, plus, I should look hot in my swimsuit by then! LOL! I need to lose a total of 184 pounds as of 08/16/10. I look forward to meeting people like me so we can guide each other to our goals! Pounds Lost Thus Far: 37 lbs
