Reply from Caragh, Age 17 - 11/01/09 - IP#: 83.70.233.xxx Good luck! Well done on losing so much weight already, that's amazing. I'm the same as you, I want to have lost another eleven pounds by christmas, though that's to take me down into the 160's so I'm not doing quite as good as you are! Maybe if you picked out a piece of clothing that's a bit too tight since you put on a few pounds, I have a pair of jeans that I'm bulging out of, so I took a photo of me wearing them as I am now and I look at it every day to keep me motivated! I haven't heard that about hot water, but I heard drinking cold water is negative calories? Good luck!
