Hey guys i think this is my 20th Journal that I have created. I once again am going to try this out and post what i feel or have to say.

I didnt gain weight, what an accomplishment for me. Please wish me luck as i try to gain control of my life.

Why do you think that you now have a weight problem?
Can start to feel the begginging of what I think to be health problems. chest pains back pains and defiently clothes not fitting.
What lifestyle changes do you think would help you lose weight?
do some activity. i started playing softball but i need to try to do something daily or every other day. Walking eating less and healthier.

I lost probably 70 lbs before when I was in highschool. but thats when I was on the wrestling team and worked out everyday.

I suffered a hurniated disk in my senior year of football. was off my feet for a while and never looked back.
What, if anything, has not worked for you in the past in helping you to lose weight? Why do you think it did not work?
