Ht. 5'6", Start: 184 lb, Today: 178 lb (BMI %tile: 95), Goal: 145 lb - Thanks for the tip guys! On a side note, could you guys please pray for me? My family is going through a cruddy time (financially and parent-relationship wise) that has lasted almost 2 years and I'm sick and tired of it. I'm tired of having crappy holidays full of money problems or fights, to ruin the fun of it all. I have great friends & I love my mom to pieces but some days I feel like nobody understands and I'm gonna break down. Plus I have some personal issues with myself including being really stresses by school and all of this is effecting my weight loss and health. Sorry to rant but PLEASE take 5 seconds to pray for me. I would appreciate it a lot.

When I read your post I almost cried. The SAME EXACT THING is happening with me and my family. Word for word. I will pray for you, pray for me too. It just goes to show how we all have the same problems..whether it'd be maintaining our weight or family issues with money and relationships. Also the school thing--this year my head isn't in the right, I'm doing rotten and it's hard to balance the diet and school and work all at the sametime. Don't worry. I know this will work out for the both us very soon! just think positive, don't stay down. We have to make the hardships in our lives just make us stronger, push us harder. I'm with you, Flower..all the way:')
