My name is Alice, I'm 28 years old and I live in Chicago. I'm currently at the largest I've ever been. No one in my family has weight issues because it's normal to be super skinny in my family. I out grew that look when I went into grad school. I'm not overweight, I'm just not comfortable with the way I look and feel right now. It's important to me that I maintain a healthy lifestyle and not get winded after running a mile. I'm getting married in June, so that's been a huge motivator because we will be spending 2 weeks on the beach :). I also think I let myself go after I met my fiance, it's funny how quickly "happy" turns into "fat". Overall, I just want to feel good, fit into my clothes that I was wearing a few months ago, and be healthy. I know its going to be hard, but I have a wedding motivating me!
