Skaryl's World ....mind, body, and soul

I am a 23 year old accountant currently living in New York City. I created this website to share my fitness journey. I have been over weight all my life and have tried every diet that I could stomach. My highest weight was 241 pounds but I was 14 years old and in the 9th grade. Emotionally I wasn't too stable, I began to think that everything wrong with with me was because of my weight. Eventually I realized that it's just me, I'm lazy, which can be changed. Then the second sememster of my junior year in college I began the Body-for-Life program. This is a program to help people get on the right track towards weight loss. I began my BFL journey back in late winter early spring 2002. At first I was just testing it out. I started out at 227 and then I did semi-BFL style, which got me down to 196 pounds. I thought I looked so good that I abandoned everything I learned and reverted back to old ways. Fast forwarding to 2004 I was back up to 232 pounds and I gave another stab at BFL with my trip to Cancun as my motivation. I did awesome and lost 20lbs in 2 1/2 months. Go me! I felt great for my trip I even got bold enough to wear a two piece bathing suit (It actually didn't look that bad, I'll have to post pictures on the site). Anyway, now it has been a months since my trip I have lost and gained more weight back and have settled at a nice 212lbs. I know I look better than before but I want to look like a fitness model.... eventually. So here I am today, I plan on starting my new challenge on Monday, October 11. Wish me luck since winter is just about here since it is freezing cold in NY. A link to my stats and blog are below. Feel free to comment on anything that I say in my blog and thank you for reading.
