| About me: |
I am a professional living in Greater Vancouver, BC. I am 5' 0" (152 cm) and small framed, so my RMR is very low and I burn far fewer calories in exercise. I might mention here that the bit of brain which controls appetite strongly believes that I am a 6'8" lumberjack.
Other important tibits about me:
- I prefer goal oriented and positive conversations
- I stay in groups in which we mutually support each other.
- I am a skeptic. I am completely open to new ideas and suggestions with evidence.

| My plan: |
2013 January 01
THE PLAN
1) precision calorie counting.
2) no alcohol for 6 months
3) daily public weigh in
4) train for May 05 half marathon #12
5) habit formations
WHAT I NEED HELP WITH
1) challenge me if I have not done one of the above
2) I am not at my intellectual or emotional best when I am hungry. Being calm and able to concentrate are powerful motivators for me to eat. I will have to take it minute by minute, and your help with that will be deeply appreciated.

| I need the most help with: |
I am greatly encouraged by the camaraderie of persons striving toward an excuse free and self disciplined life. I also find quite amazing and delightful people who have a good sense of humour and are interested in others.

| Additional Info: |
To help non-petites understand petite's numbers: 95 pounds is for me what 127 pounds would be for the average sized woman (BMI 18.6).
