    woohoo for wantagh!!!!.. i do the mill pond lake path daily!!!!!!!!.. id love to try the wantagh path!!!!!!>.

    keep up the good work,,,,

    btw,, im in levittown!!!!!!


    Hi guys,,,,,,
    I've been using the iPhone app for a while now and love it so i figured id try it on line too.....

    im 60 days into my weight loss fight,... and a fight it is... and will be.,,,

    3 years ago i lost over 100 lbs... i looked and felt amazing,,, ran my first 5k and i was on top of the world,,, after all i had been the fat kid all my life and then the chubby one all my grown up life,,,, If i heard the statement * you would be so pretty if you lost weight* one more time I was probably going to hit someone. ... i have always felt so beautiful inside, but could never make the outside match... And just when i finally did it I came down with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder from my work at WTC on 911... the treatment was medications.. and we all know the side effects of that..... yup,,, 140 lbs back on.....

    Well i have found my reason for living again and now its my turn to show him the person he sees on the inside can be the same on the outside.... Time to love me!,,, cause if i can't love me then who can!!..

    im not doing this all for me,, I'm doing this for us,, for a healthy future.. for longevity,,,,, i want to live to be loved for ever,...

    so in 60 days I've done 24 lbs so far.... grew a lot of muscle so the lbs came off slowly,,,,,, my goal is 175,,,,, i have incentives!,,, and they mean the world to me,,,,,,,,,

    i can do it this time,,, I've done it before and this time I'm gonna succeed! in the name of love
