Hi!
My name is Amber (thought that username was taken, so I named myself after my cat, Figgy. Both names are awesome, so you can call my either). Currently I am 21 years old, 5’6â€, 144.6 pounds and looking to weight 135 as a first, perhaps only, goal. Though watching the pounds slide off is so addictive! I lose weight by eating whatever I want but only as much as I need – for example I opt for a McDonald’s happy meal instead of a supersized Big Mac meal. I am trying to lose about 1 ½ - 2 pounds per week, though I’ve been struggling with bronchitis and lack of appetizing food lately so I lost a little fast this week. I like walking, drinking water, diet soda, black coffee and black tea. The only “real†rule I have is if there isn’t a zero calorie sugar substitute available for a beverage, just drink it black. Or if you can’t SEE someone but the right sweetening agent in. I hate drinking my calories because it’s pointless and sugar makes my breath smell bad. Although I used to have a poor body image, I actually think I look pretty good even at the weight I’m at now. I try not to get caught up in the “numbers game†– there is a song that I heard that had a good point when it said “I’ve weighed out all the options / that scale’s not fit for adviceâ€. Though it is very addictive. My scale (who I’ve named Steve) and I definitely have a love/hate relationship. Anyways, I’m looking forward to getting to know you all!
