Ht. 5'2.25, Wt. before- 175 now- 141 - well i have officaly lost 35 pounds this summer.. no one from school has seen me except my close friends im so excitied to go back tomorrow and show everyone i look fantstic.. and i know that with another 10 or 15 pounds i shall have the body of my dreams.. im almost there and i can't believe i finally did it .. and i did it the heathly way.. i am so proud of myself.. i would liek to thank evryone for their encourgament and help and also i would like to encourage those who feel like they have no hope.. there is always hope... a few sayings help me going through this- "food will always be there you don't need to eat all of it in one day" "is this worth not being thin and healthy over?" "splurgin once evry couple weeks actually keeps you on track because it shocks your metabolism and keeps you from binging" "excersize is your friend.. when the sccale isnt showing any weight loss you sitl look thinner everyday with excersize" "after a week all your cravign go away especially if you are eatign really heathly with no refined carbs like chocolate" keep it up everyone if i could do it you can too you jsut need to really want it.. have control over your body dont let your body have control over you
