Hello.
My name is Amy. I'm 24 years old and 5'2
Here's a bit about me.I'v had a weight issues my whole life. I made it through high school with diffrent eating dissorders until I met My husband and started eating a bit better. I became pregnate (with my wonderful Now five year old) and blossomed to over 170 pound.Looking back I was on my own and did not know how to eat right.After I had Memory I lost some pregnancy weight and held it off for a couple years but then I must have just not noticed what was happening and made it pretty close to that 170 mark again.On top of the weight I was having migranes and headach clusters often. My circulation was very poor and I was stressed out all the time.One day I relized this and started fasting. I did not know what I was doing or if I was doing it right at first. I started researching on it and It started ruling my everyday life. I lost thirty pounds the first two months.I drank tons of water and a whole lot of v8 juice.On top of that I was trying to exercise. I slowly weened my self off eating fresh simple salads and light soups untill I could eat whole foods. Looking back I dont think it was the smartest thing to do and I dont think I could ever do it again if I tried.But from there I made it a rule to drink my 68oz of water and make healthy chioces. I'm now 120-125 pounds with water wight and all that fun stuff. I feel great , dont have nearly as many heaches my circulation is getting better, and I want to get out and do stuff. I look great but still have that stuburn belly fat. I'm pretty toned everywhere else. Not sure how to get rid of it. I have read some posts and I have a injured neck and cant bend some ways. i look forward to this online experience.

About the belly flab, I've heard the best way to get rid of it is cardio.... it's worked great for me!! Good luck!!0

With any kind of back injury, weight bearing (even your own) can be a problem. I get lots of cardio in the pool, when I swim. I also use a lap pool snorkel that will keep your head in the water and your back straight, without needing to lift your head to the side for air. It makes for a better workout over all and keeps everything well lined up.
