My name is Xiporah. I'm a 29 year old female from Maryland. I don't know what much else there is to say about myself. I recently dedicated myself to losing a decent amount of weight (over 50 pounds)

So far by myself, I've managed about 25 pounds over the past two years, but I've really put my nose to the grindstone this year, when most of it was lost.

A little about me, I'm a bit eccentric, I'm generally a kind person, I get a little hot headed once in a while, but don't we all? I enjoy being outdoors, camping, hiking. Not much for sports, but someday I'd lvoe to try a few extreme sports such as skydiving and BASE jumping.

I also enjoy exotic pets.

I'm glad I found this place, and I hope to learn some stuff and make a few friends too!
 
Welcome, Xiporah!
I love your unusual name! It sounds like you are halfway to your goal weight. What do you plan to do to lose the rest of the weight?

Be sure to read the stickies on the site...they can be very beneficial and answer many questions that you may have.
Good luck on the rest of your journey!

Thanks! unfortunately, I need to lose about 50 or more pounds on top of the 25 I've already done, but I'm trucking along at it.

I've recently started going to the free gym provided by my employer. Before I used the excuse of being to embarassed to bother, but I finally just swallowed it and I've been going now for two weeks during my lunch hour, which for now is enough to get me on the eliptical. I don't have much endurance yet, but I'm encouraged because I have been able to do a little more every day, and I now look forward to going donw there instead of dreading it. I enjoy the afternoon energy boost I get from a moderate workout.

As far as changing my eating habits, I'm still slowly learning what i can and can't do and portion control. I have some friends who lost a considerable amount of weight recently who have promised to help me, but I figured I'd benefit from a forum like this as well.

Thanks for the welcome!
