Hi!

I'm 23 yr old female in Centreville va. I'm a full time nanny and part time babysitter. I reallyreally hope to take one course at GMU starting in January

so I decided to lose weight, and it's working, slowly. I recently had a set back because I needed to eat more in order to donate blood. Now I'm ohso focused and determined. Remember, it's not healthy to lose more than 0.5 lbs/week.
I like stretching, yes, stretching for 10-15 mins. I like walking, who doesn't? I love jogging and yoga too. I also love swimming!!

AND I can't wait to get tattooed, my plan is to be done with this weight goal by March, but it's fine if it's April!

    I don't know why people want to permanently mar their bodies in that fashion.

    Then you just don't get it. I highly doubt she sees it as spoiling disfiguring her body, so how about you give her some props for wanting to lose weight, eh?

    Losing 1 to 2 pounds per week is considered healthy. Half a pound a week seems way too low for me. :)

    I have a tattoo I want that I refuse to get until I loose a little more weight. Definitely plays a role in my motivation. Lol. What are you getting??

    true, saying 0.5 pounds/wk just makes me feel good, helps to see that this journey could be months

    yes, motivation is key!! I'm getting "for whoever wants to save his life will lose it, and whoever loses his life for me will save it" which is a quote from Luke9.. on my left rib region
