My boyfriend and I currently live in apartment. And while it’s nice and large and fairly new with new appliances and new paint/new carpet, etc… It’s still not the same as having a house.

I want to have a home in the suburbs with a fenced in back yard for raising children and dogs. The house doesn’t have to be very large or even brand new.

I’ve told him how I feel but he wants to extend our lease here for another year.

It’s not so bad, but someday I hope we can have a home of our own.

I would like to get out of debt someday. I have a few small store credit cards which are mostly paid off now. I have about 25,000 dollars in school loans and a couple of other monthly payments (cellphone, rent, games, etc.) I will probably inherrit sosme money shortly here from my grandfather sadly passing away. I plan to put it towards my loans and put a large dent in my debt. Once payed off I will only use credit cards for emergencies and not for fluff purchases anymore.

I began excersisng and dieting in june of 2009. I’ve lost about 15 lbs as of this writing and hope to lose another 15 by new years. My eventual goal is to shed a total of 80 lbs. I currently weigh 202 lbs. My target weight is 140 lbs.

I’ve been fat most of my life. Throughout highschool I was about 230 lbs. When I began college (and ended a relationship) I decided to lose weight by going on the no carb/low carb diet (or lifestyle.) Within one year I had lost over 100lbs. I was down to 127 lbs and a size 7 or 8 in jeans. I gained a lil bit back but sat comfortably around 140 and a size 10 in jeans.

I would like to get back to that size.

The low carb lifestyle is too rigid for me. I love fruit and pasta and mexican foods and different things.

Also the last 3 or 4 times I’ve tried to go low carb, after about the 2 week mark I get violently sick (nausea, shakes, chills, weak, fatigue, headache, dizzy, etc.) I’m not sure why but have decided it’s not for me.

I now just try to go to the gym 3 days a week and limit my caloric intake. The weight is coming off but it has been slow. I hope to continue losing weight and reach my goal.

I’ve already gone down a pant size since I started. Am now a size 16 in jeans, and they’re a lil bit big.

Women’s sizes go every 2 (even numbers) So I’ve got 3 more sizes to lose.

My goal is to hopefully lose these before next summer/my birthday/swimsuit season.
