check-in

Hi guys! Sorry, it's been a few days since i've updated! But I'm checking in with you guys to tell you about the past week! So my eating habits have been kinda screwy! I've gained a pound and a half! but I guess eating cheese balls and chicken strips will do that to you! It's a part of life. I know that with enough will-power I can get it back off :) Luckily, working all the time keeps me pretty busy! workout wise I have been running half a mile, then doing two full-plank sets of 20 seconds, then running another half mile and then proceeding with 40 tri-dips, and 40 push-ups, then doing some stuff for my glutes and building up my hamstrings. (Lunges are a pain in the butt but they sure give you a nice one.. just sayin') Smile and have a great day guys! :)

Hi everybody! Today is the day I put up my first progress pictures! yay! I will be updating these pictures every 2 weeks to every month or so to show the most effect! Well here goes :) In these pictures I weigh 175.1

Finally, Summer rolled around. I was still 200 lbs and still sad all the time. I was beginning my senior year at 200 lbs. Around October I decided to change all this and go out for basketball! I started working out 3 times a day (including basketball) and limited myself to raw foods and only 1,200 calories a day. I started to lose weight but nothing really came off until about February. I dropped down to 180 with basketball, then lost an additional 5 lbs since graduation from High School. I currently weigh 175 lbs and still droppping :) Join me on my journey! I hope to be an inspiration to everyone who reads this and follows me! (The prom picture is me and my best friend! this was taken in April. I was at around 180 or 185 when this picture was taken) and the one of just myself is my most recent picture that really shows how much my face has slimmed down! (About 175 lbs)

From the summer of my sophomore year on I kept gaining more and more weight at a rapid pace. Before long, I was beginning my junior year of high school at 155-165 lbs! I was still in cheerleading but I was starting to feel more sluggish! I stopped working out often due to laziness. I exercised about 3-4x a week for like 20 mins. My eating spiraled out of control. I was consuming nearly 3,000 calories per day! (almost 1,500 more than I needed) Soon i found myself ending my junior year at 200 lbs even! I became very sick and depressed. I isolated myself from friends and family, I never left my house...er the kitchen it seemed. I kept eating and eating and sooner or later found myself in a deep dark hole that I could not seem to get out of! Above are some pictures of me at my heaviest. (Cheer picture im the blonde on the far right)

From there on, I kept gaining more and more weight. I got back up to 145 my sophomore year. Which was good! I still exercised but MUCH healthier! I was running for about an hour a day and consuming around 900 calories a day! I was flyer on our small cheerleading squad so I knew that I needed to keep my weight down. Little did I know... Above is a picture of me at 140 lbs. (Far right is me and far left is my friend)

During my freshman year of high school I became accustomed to working out.. I began to enjoy it more and more. And while I found myself enjoying exercise, I also found that my eating habits were a little out of whack. I didn't think twice about it and kept on the path I was on. By the end of my frehsman year I found myself running for almost 8 hours a day and eating less than 200 calories a day! I would literally run from 4 p.m. until 12 a.m. I was sick and I was finding that out day by day. this is a picture of me at my weight of 120 lbs.

Hello everyone! For those of you who don't know me, my name is Tori. I just graduated High School this past May. I live in a small town with a population of about 1,100 so everyone knows everyone here! While in high school i have been involved with numerous activities.. including sports. Now i'm not a star athlete by any means, I was involved in volleyball, basketball, and track mainly for the numbers, but a passion of mine has ALWAYS been cheerleading <3 I started cheerleading and dance when I was about 5 or 6 years old. I cheered all through Middle School and 3 years of High School. It meant the world to me! So since I was constantly in front of crowds, appearance was key to me! My healthy weight is around 135-145 lbs which is healthy for my height of 5'2. I began my freshman year of high school at 145 lbs. I knew i wasn't "fat" but I knew I could always be slimmer! I figured that if i lost weight it would make me a better cheerleader, it would make me feel better about myself. I thought it would make me "happy"..... Little did I know what I had in store.. and this is where the obsession... and journey began!
