My name is Alex Kimball. I live in Orlando and will be entering the University of South Florida in Tampa this fall.
If you have ever gone to college, you probably know what the "freshman fifteen" are. If not, here goes: The freshman fifteen are the pounds a person typically gains their first year of college. They come from the college lifestyle, which includes more food options and less physical activity.
I have decided that I will not let the freshman fifteen happen to me. In fact, I want to change my habits once I enter college, and lose 15 pounds. It is from this idea that Negative15 was born. In this blog, I will be sharing my progress, advising my readers what works and what doesn't. If I can help at least one other person do the same thing, then my blog will have achieved its first goal.
Negative15 is not meant to be just a weight loss blog; that's just the first part of it. I want to branch out a little and give people advice on different aspects of life, centered around the concept of fifteen ways to succeed at things. Maybe even sometimes I'll just put up something fun. At the heart of this blog will be the Lists of Fifteen, which should be on a weekly basis. They could be about anything, from fifteen healthy living tips, fifteen cool places to go, fifteen random trivia bits, etc.
I'll be open to any suggestions on things I could post, so if there is something you'd like to see please contact me about it. I would look forward to getting email on how to make this the best advice blog ever!
With that, I humbly welcome you to Negative15, where negative is a good thing.
