This is me, Aileen. I'm 23 years old and my weight as of today is 179.4lbs.  

Thats me... happy, fun, Aileen. Lover of food, being lazy, and enjoying every moment you're given. 

This weekend, 5 years ago I graduated from my high school. I remember weighing around 130. It would be nice to be that small again. I am not sure if its possible but its my goal.

Today May 27th, 2012 is a "new" start. I have been on this awesome lifestyle change (I know, very cheesy and I do roll my eyes as I type it). We call it a lifestyle change and not a diet because diet means "die" and die means fail... soo not a diet. The program is called Thrive! and it has really been working for me. I have already lost 7.6lbs since April. I don't feel like I am restricting myself and I am already feeling better about myself. 

I am starting this page for a reason. This is for me. I want to put together something that I can see the process of my weight loss. I am going to be brave and allow myself to be vulnerable.
With that being said....  

This is my first before picture.

This is a picture of me today. In my bikini. As you can see.... it kinda doesn't fit anymore. ha.

Goal: 365 days from now I will be in Hawaii. May goal is to fit into this bikini.

If I happen to be around 135 I think that would be pretty nice to.

I will post what I've been eating, if I have worked out, and how I'm doing and a few pictures here and there!

I can't wait to share this with people. If anyone has any question please let me know.

I see alot happening in my future. I can hope in the years to come I am lucky enough to turn into a wife and mother. And if I am going to do that I'm going to be healthy doing!

Wish me luck and leave me encouragements!
