Just me

My name is Jynx.  Yes it's my real name, you can check my Birth Certificate. :)
I am 31, going to be 29 again real soon - by b-day is coming up this weekend, I think...
I am about 175 lbs over weight, more if you go by the standard 130 lbs is healthy for 5'6"...  I can't imagine myself being 130 lbs.  I was 160lbs in grade 6.. I don't ever remember being less than that - although Iguess I must've been at some point or another.
I remember hitting 200lbs and the horror I felt when 200 turned to 250.. and then 270.. ugh
I am miserable.  I am depressed and recently started taking medication for the depression.  It's a cycle, I eat because I'm depressed and then I get more depressed because I just filled my face AGAIN!
I've been 'watching what I eat' for about a week now.  I lost 2 lbs the first week, and I only walked once.
Yesterday I walked for 1/2 hr, the day before I lifted some weights and hopped around for 20 minutes, I worked up a little bit of a sweat anyway.  Today I spent 20 minutes on a recumbant bike and 5 more on a Elliptical Machine - MAN! that thing kicked my butt - BIG TIME!  I set the timer for 10 minutes.. after 2 I was already stopping - the kicker was the damn timer kept stopping when I did!  haha.. so.. It took me about 10 minutes to do the 5 minutes.. actually, in all honesty it was ony 4 and 34 seconds..  but I was tuckered!  Anyway, I hope this site gives me the motivation I need to change my life - and stick to it.  ~ Later!
