I'm Tayla, I'm 19 years old and currently study Social Work at the University of Canterbury.

While studying full time, I also work at a DVD store and like to help out in the community. I enjoy watching movies and hanging out with my friends.

I've always felt like the fattest and most unfit person in the room, and I want to change that. I want to lose 30kg by December 2014! I lost 9kg at the end of last year then gained it back over Christmas so this time I'm going to lose it for good! I'm aiming to lose 2.5 kg every month - allowing for some breaks and plateaus in between. My body goals include: Weighing less than my partner, Having a flat(ish) stomach and firm bum, and being a size 14 :)
