"And I will call him Squishy...and he will be my little friend"

Right now this line from Finding Nemo rings true, as thats what I realized my body has become over the past year....squishy. Well, more than squishy actually, quite jiggly in fact.
Its time to do something (once again). So I've decided to start this blog to track my progress in moving my body from jiggle, to squish to toned.

So a little back story to fill you in on things. My name is Mon, I'm a 27 year old Canadian who is trying, for the 11 thousandth time, to get to a weight goal of 145lbs.

I've been heavy my entire life, at least since puberty. I was always the "fat chick". In my final year of high school I lost 50lbs through Weight Watchers. After going to University I gained back 15-20 pounds and spent the next 6 years gaining and losting those 20 pounds, a constant yo yo, but generally hovering around 155-165 pounds. I was ok with that.

Then last year I was diagnosed with depression and put on anti depressants. The disease and the meds assisted in my gaining 40 pounds over this past year, which brings me back to my all time high of 190lbs. Where I said I would never be again.

So here I go, for one last and final time...trying to shed these extra pounds and get to a healthy weight of 145-150lbs. How? Through healthy eating (Weight Watchers), and a lot of gym time.

Welcome to my journey.
