SGT RJ's big fat weight history:
As an adult, other than when I was forced to exercise regularly while in the service, I've struggled with my weight. This is because I like to eat crap and am lazy as ****. Things got out of control when I was working on my dissertation, as I basically just sat around the apartment stressing out over my failure to do any real work and eating. Peak weight was around 220-225. I'm a 62.5" female (39 yo), so that's pretty ****ing fat.
I lost a bit of it back in '11 or '12 then got lazy again and gained most of it back. The spring after I started working again (so '14, I think), I finally had enough and have been slowly losing ever since. My lowest has been 156.
I've stalled out the last several months. Again, I'm incredibly lazy. 150s is still way too heavy for a short female. These pics are obviously a bit old but for reference:

So the entire purpose of this for me is to kick start my lazy ass back into gear again.
Why I'll win:
1) I always did enjoy competition.
2) I've recently been promoted to full time at work, and I tend to be more disciplined the less I'm just hanging out at home.
3) I'll be doing IF (intermittent fasting) as my primary means of calorie control. I'll fast 2-3 days a week. I find this easier then trying to hit something like 1200 calories daily, and it helps with hunger control as well.
I know I can do this, and with this exterior motivator, it will be accomplished. Also ec is an egregiously elephantine egret so should be no problem to beat him.
