Ht. 5'5", Wt. 167 - HAPPY NEW YEAR!! 2007 IS HERE!!! Hey ladies! Well yesterday I did really good (if I do say so myself) when it came to dinner except for a few pieces of candy and 1 cupcake. What really motivated me was, well my dad showed me this new food pyramid, and I picked up his magazine and started browsing through articles on obesity, heart disease, eating disorders, cutting calories and all kinds of chaos, then I was like, "This is crazy, and I don't wanna be a part of it! I don't wanna die early from a heart attack or get clogged arteries!" So I want to get down to 150 by next March, mostly for health reasons, but of course I want a new, toned body too! :0) Good luck to all!!! I'm so glad that I stopped and realized in time that if I'd kept going at 184lbs I would have grown up to be unhealthy and unhappy!
