I’m Gonna Do It!
This is my first post. I am currently 5′3″ (that probably will not change” and I am 216 lbs. Since 2002 I have been between 205 - 220 lbs. I have always been the chubby sweet girl. I have never known what skinny is. I have dieted before but I took it to the extreme. I ended up pretty much only eating cereal and lettuce. I also worked out 24-7. The result was me going from a size 16 to a size 8 in about 4 months ~ lets not forget the fact that I became a severe anemic. I couldn’t even get off the couch. Ever since that all occured…I have not been able to diet correctly. I do not have the will power or the motivation. I have to lose weight! I having some medical problems now due to my weight. I have high blood pressure, high cholestoral, and I have heart palpatations. So ~ I have to do it!
Well, your extreme weight loss before shows what you can do when you put your mind to it. I struggle to stay on the right path and find it really helps to have buddys to go along with. There is a 20 pound weight challenge coming up on the 1st if you check the forums. Maybe that would help.
well i sure hope you being here helps you out. that challenge might be a good tool to help you i might look into it soon. good luck and you can do it !!!!
