    About Me

    I am a young woman finishing my Bachelor's Degree in Commerce, with my major in Marketing and my minor in Management. I have a younger sister who I love and two wonderful parents. I have amazing friends who have been my best friends since Grade 7! Not many people can say that!! I have met wonderful people in University who I hope to work with in the business world. I have a personal trainer who has helped me lose 13 lbs to date, but I'm having difficulties dealing with the emotional aspects of weightloss so I've decided to join this website as a median to hear other people's opinions and realize that, even when it feels like it, I am not alone in this struggle!:)

    Interests

    Being with my friends, yoga, school, travelling, sushi.

    • Close Diets & Weight Maintenance

      I've been struggling with my weight for years and now i've decided to do something about it. I'm 5'0" and use to weight 151pounds. I currently weight 138lbs and want to get down to a weight where I love my body!! I have a personal trainer who helps with my workouts and eating.

      Treatments

      Atkins Diet Working / Worked
      Hardest thing ever! Would never do it again. Worked really well but then once I stopped...I gained it all back.
      Eating Healthier Foods Working / Worked
      It's working but sometimes it can be a struggle when you are use to eating stuff that are not good for you, and now they have to be limited from your diet.
      Eat Less Working / Worked
      I'm doing this now and it's doing the job!
      Physical Exercise Working / Worked
      I workout 5 times a week, for at least 45 minutes. It seems to be working, but sometimes you have no motivation to go.
      Weight Watchers Working / Worked
      It worked but then I stopped counting the points because I got lazy and demotivated.
    • Open Colon Cancer

      My father was diagnosed with colon cancer in April of 2006. We were told he only had a month to live since the cancer and grown so large and had spread to his kidneys and liver. He had surgery in January of 2008 and now has a bag. He presently is getting worse and having alot of issues such as bleedy, as well as all of the emotional issues that come along with such a lifestyle change. I'm personally having a very difficult time dealing with the situation since he is so emotionally drained.

      Treatments

      Chemotherapy Working / Worked
      Worked very well the first time, but the doctors took him off of treatment for too long, so now he is back on but struggling with the treatments since his blood-cell count is not strong.
      Radiotherapy Somewhat Helpful
      The biggest side effect that he had was what felt like heart-burn.
      Surgery Not Working
      He now has a bag and hates it. He's having a lot of issues with bleeding, and the back exploding.
      Xeloda Working / Worked
      Worked well, but since the cancer grew back stronger, he is back on the drug.
