Hey everyone! My name is Andrea (ncgirl21). I am from North Carolina. The only picture I have to show what I look like now is my Halloween picture so here that is:

(I have blonde hair)
I am 5'8 and my weight usually fluctuates around 145-150. I would like to get down to around 130 and drastically lower my body fat. I'd assume it's around 21%. I would like to trim down my butt, hips and upper legs, especially my thighs. The back of them just really pisses me off!! I'd like for my abs to show and I'd also like to build some muscle in my arms. I want more shape to them.
I don't really know of any *specific* diet that I will be following. I eat pretty clean right now. My biggest problem is sweets. I could honestly live off of chocolate and nothing else!! I just plan on eating a lot of lean protein sources (meat, fish, lf cottage cheese, lf cheese) and getting my carbs for lite whole wheat bread, veggies, fruits, and beans. I have read just about everyone's journal on this board and on the IM competition board. You girls are all so beautiful and really have your shit together as far as diet/exercise goes. I'm really motivated by all of you.
I'm open to any advice that anyone has and I promise to listen to it as long as my body, or I should say booty, coroporates!! LOL!!
I could really use some input as far as workout are concerned too. I work 1 full time job, 1 part time job, and go to school full time at night, so I need them to be quick but effective. I have a treadmill, eliptical, mini trampoline and 1 10 lb. dumbell at home. I was thinking that I could do some cardio in the morning for about 20 minutes. I hate cardio though!! Then, there is a gym down the road from where I work so I figured I could do weights on my lunch hour. I would have to get it done in about 30 minutes though. Does this sound like a good idea.
My first day will begin on January 1st. But, not to worry, I'm not on some full fleged binge until then, I just only have access to a computer while at work and I'll be on vacation this week after today.
Well, I guess that was my novel. I look forward to everyones comments and hope to loose the first five pounds by my 21st birthday (1-18) and then have my body look the way I want it to my this summer. Then I just want to maintain. Thanks everyone!!
