			| About me: | 
			
				 
					 I'm 28 years old and live in Ontario, Canada. I've been a member of PT for 9 years, with some breaks, but I'm back, because I really missed logging.
  Highest Weight: 312lbs, Dec 2012
I am currently at 272 - I have lost 40 lbs in the past 18 months and want to ramp it up!
  I love boxing - I got into it 1 year ago and am so glad I joined a community of people who work hard and really strive for what they want. It's truly a little family at the club. I've decided to leave though, and join a more regular gym (alot less pricey) - and I like it there too. 
  I saw a naturopath about a year ago and learnt that I'm lactose intolerant and mildly intolerant to gluten. It's a challenge creating a new life around those parameters.
  Looking for friends on PT to help with support!
