About Vilma
Vilma here… Welcome to my little space on the internet!
So much has happened in the past 10 years. I’ve had a very interesting love and hate relationship with my weight and this seems to be the story of my life ever since I graduated from high school. I was never an overweight kid before then. I was actively involved in sports (volleyball, basketball, softball, and track) & I ate pretty well. I gained the famous “freshman 15″ right out of high school & it was an up and down battle since then. My weight has ranged between 127 lbs & 214 lbs. and I think that I could write a book on how many times I’ve lost and gained weight and all the different diets I have tried… believe me, I’ve tried them all!
Well… almost all of them. And most of them worked - temporarily.
I remember back around the year 2002 I lost about 50 pounds (my lowest weight was 127- my hightest then was 185 lbs) & I maintained a 140-145 weight for about 1 year. How did I lose all that weight? The first 30 I lost just based on good nutrition/low calories & a lot of tennis. I also took Xenadrine pills that had Ephedra in them and left me shaky & without a good night sleep. I started lifting weights when I had about 20 more lbs to lose. I continued eating healthy & like I mentioned was able to maintain my weight for about 1 year. Between December 2002 and December 2005, my weight yo-yo’ed from 135 lbs all the way back to 190 lbs. I was able to lose 30 lbs before I got married (May 2006) and I went down to 160 lbs but soon after, I started going back to school and gained back all the weight I had lost + more.
So why all the weight fluctuations? Well, all of this was I because I did not make a LIFESTYLE change, so all the weight I lost just kept on coming back with a little bit more and more and more and then one day last year (’07) I found myself weighing a whopping 214 lbs. THAT day was a turning point for me. I chose to take my weight head on and lose my gut once and for all!
I can’t even believe that i’m being so open about this love and hate relationship i’ve had with my weight but I feel that it’s the only way I will be able to stay accountable, track my progress & ultimately be an example & an inspiration to many people out there that are stuggling to figure out this puzzle called fat loss.
So what is my MAIN goal? To get down to 18% -20% body fat — IT DOESN’T MATTER HOW MUCH I WEIGH.
Really. 
Anyhow… that’s my little intro. I would appreciate all comments & feedback….
