I thought I would introduce myself, because I'm such a newbie. I would post this on the "bump" introduction thing, but I don't think anybody reads those.
I'm a college student, Not a bb, just a health nut. I studied abroad this summer, backpacked all over the u.k. and (not regrettably) gained about 20 pounds of Guinness. Upon return, I hit the gym and the eca wayyy too hard and lost a lot of weight, all the way down to 119, where I was when I first came on here. I am currently battling insomnia (and winning, thanks to a lucky score of some great weed) as well as putting on a few pounds (last check, 121). I WAS eating about 900-1000 cals a day, until I read some of the very good advice here, and upped it to about 1200. Now I'm feeling much stronger in my workouts.
I want to get up to about 130-135 lbs (oh, I'm 5'3" btw). I swim quite a bit, and have my whole life, so I'm not looking for a super low bf %. In fact, I don't even know what mine is right now, nor do I particularly care. I am a bit paranoid about my health, as my parents have been overweight most of my life, and between the two of them have heart problems, diabetes, osteoperosis, joint problems, etc., etc. This is probably why I have a hard time eating a whole lot, though I really have no desire to be very skinny.
I'm a ovo-lacto vegetarian, I dig yoga, um...I don't know what else. KBgrl laughs at my cherry pie cravings, and I don't post too much stuff because I can usually find it by a search. Much good chi to all...
