    Sweet. I know that seems like a long time, but I'd love to be 130 a year from now. I'm currently at 154.

    Well it all started March of this year, I noticed how fat i was considering my height was 5'3 and i was 150 pounds. So what i did I cut fast food like mcdonalds, burger king etc. for 2 months and every single day i would replace my microwavable food with rice and fish but a small amount of rice (fist size portion) and fish (1 half fried fish), and for a replacement of cookies and sweets i ate apples about 4 apples a day and for drinks i would have water and ONLY water no juice or pop and every night i would do sit-up about 25 sit ups a night and i did 25 side crunches and i did that for about 3 months and 20 pounds were GONE! my mistake its been since march till december and i still been doing the same thing i just cut my portions of everything i ate!

    Lin7604 : aww! dont worry! it takes time losing weight! and thats good that you cut out with the fast food and pop with water. Water is an amazing weight loss tool, So keep drinking it! and its okayy to have one day where you eat alot like your christmas party! just make sure the day after you start eating healthy again and working at it!

    Hope to be joining you soon. I'm now at 135.4, but only lose about a pound every 3-4 weeks. Still, I have been under 140 for 7 weeks, where before I would be under 140 for a few days and that start working my way back up again.

    You give me hope!

    thanks... i have been trying so hard and not succeeding so much.. i find that now it's getting harder just because of the season, x-mas party on saturday then x-mas next weekend and then on the 30th we are leaving for mexico for a 10 day all inclusive trip... MAN that's going to be hard to keep those little measly 3 lbs that i have lost off....
