Hello all!
So Im 21 and have been having weight problems since I was about 16. I just packed on the pounds, I was about 125 and I went up to 160 and stayed there for a while but eventually worked my way up to 195 at my heaviest at the beginning of 2006. At that time I really wanted to avoid gaining another pound and dropped down to 160ish again by april. Sadly, I fell off the wagon and I've gained back 15 pounds putting me squarely at 175lb. I am going to try what I did last year, which was essentially diet, excercise and lots of water. Last year I hit a plateau after 160 and couldnt move from there no matter how much I changed my excercise routines. Ive got a million reasons to lose the weight as Im sure all of us do. Ive decided that I refuse to let school be an excuse anymore and Im really going to do it.
-- How much weight do you want to lose? 40-50lbs
-- What is the timeframe for reaching your target weight? january 2008
-- How do you want to accomplish your goal (what methods do you want to use)? excercising at the school gym daily, portion control, balancing my meals
-- Who or what can support you in reaching your goal? this group! my family
-- How realistic is your goal?
i think its pretty realistic 4 months around 10-15 lbs a month
-- When will you start? immediately!
