I love thunderstorms and I hate being interrupted.

Hey there! Mah name is Crystal! Pleased to meet you. (Please... don't interrupt.)

I've been heavy almost all my life. I'm 28 years old and I'd like to know what "normal" (weight-wise) feels like before I'm 30. In all other aspects, I like NOT being normal. My highest weight was 276 in September 2006. I lost 50 lbs, but put 20 back on when I got tired of the gimmicky dieting. I started JUDDDD at 247 and from April 7th 2009 to June 27th 2009, I lost 24 lbs. But lately, JUDDDD's been working best as a maintenance diet. My doctor prescribed me Phentermine on January 22nd, 2010 when I started going back up to 228. I've already dropped 10 lbs the first week and it's given me a different attitude towards eating and exercising. I decided to try a medication because I realized I'm not doing so well on my own. I'm hoping this phase gives me the tools I need to continue by myself in the future.

Anyway, more about me:

I looooove video games, and just about any kind.
I'm married to an angry OCD penny-pincher. He's awesome <3
I have a furbaby named Tiki. Boston Terrier.
I don't want/like kids. I can tolerate them for awhile.
I love chicken & dumplings.
People think I'm a dork/nerd/weird. They would be right.
My lucky # is 222.
My favorite color is GREEN.
My favorite movie is Labyrinth.

Maybe I'll tell you more later.
