Hey Everybody! MangoTsunami here, completely new to the community. Here are my stats: Age: 23 Height: 5'6'' Weight: 185 Pant Size: 13/14 Related Health Issues: Hypothyroidism (screws up the metabolism and causes weight gain), Chronic Plaque Psoriasis and Arthritis, and Clinical Depression (treated with Zoloft) Why am I here? I joined after my boyfriend told me - in the nicest way possible- that we'd have a better sex life and he'd be more attracted to me if I got in shape. Of course, I was a little sensitive about it first, and frankly very distraught, but then I realized how much I wanted this my whole life...to have a body I love. He is very involved in fitness (and as an actor, is very image-conscious) and told me about how much being in great shape changes and improves your quality of life. After a long talk with him on the beach, I felt inspired to get fit not only for me, but for me. To become strong, slim, and self-actualized. So, for the January 7th- February 18th 6 week Challenge, here are my 3 Diet/Fitness Goals 1) Cut out sugar from my diet, unless it is from fruit. 2) Work out 3-5 times a week. Special focus on strength training and cardio. [subgoal: be able to do 5 pullups with ease] 3) Stop emotional eating, only eat when you are hungry, like you are supposed to. Life Improvement Goal 1) Get a job to pay the bills. To pay off my rent, my hospital bills, my expired license, and so I can have health insurance! Thanks for reading guys. It's nice to know theres a community of people who can support me and that I can also support along the way. Let me know what you think, feedback, if you have any tips, etc. And post some of your goals! I'd love to know MangoTsunami
