  16. Last year's weight loss was between 115/111 pound's..back & fourth. Today the first day of new year's,I' started my new Food" and exercise Journal. To help me keep track of my food intake and calorie's,( Calorie's burned ) "Ive have been eating very healthy but "I think my problem with my last 12 pound's "Ive been chasing for at least two month's is ."IM burning more then half of the daily calorie's that im taking in!!! causing my own body to have to fight for the remaining calorie's so last week started staying around 2000 calorie's that is alot of food by the way if you are eating right and not junk food like fast food,candy, pop, for me exercise, and proper balanced diet has been my ticket to weight lose. Well I hope that you all meet your wight loss goals this year!

  24. Dear JODIE, I feel your pain and im sorry that are felling the way you do! it's funny in a way how one person's mind work's Destructive behavior hostility, turned inward, at the time it may seem right(ONE"S OWN THOUGHT"S) but harming one's self is not the answer!!!!! You may be very large, and just hate your self..........Thats fine but that dos'ent mean your going to be heavy your whole life.......weight loss take's time unless you have lot's of money for personal trainers special diet's and some one to stand behind you and push you twenty four seven. you will get there but it take's time. you did not gain all your weight over night, so you won't lose it over night! use some of that pent up energy and start walking as much as you can to help weight loss and keeping your mind clear! I was very fat! now slim but it took me a year, hang in there if you ever want to talk drop me a line. Most of all young lady there are a lot of family and friend's out there who care about you, even if you feel alone........Most of all God bless take care.JOHNQ:cool:
  25. "I wound not even buy Ring to you get down to your goal weight! because it's about $25 dollers to get sized,and there is no sence in guessing,all of my Ring's have to be resized they just fall off! quart inch to spare. "I have been giving alot of cloth away,however I find my self at Old Navy alot they really have some great deal's! Good luck with your weight loss, keep on "pushing" forward and soon you will break through!
