Ht. 5'5", Start: 163 lb, Today: 157 lb (BMI %tile: 93), Goal: 120 lb - Hey! One of the most important steps to weight loss is knowledge. First, don't estimate calories. For exercise remember the exact number on your machine or if it isn't in a gym take an amount a bit smaller than the estimated. Look at food labels and remember the exact amount. Fact: I eat at the cafeteria at school and the portions aren't that big, however the food doesn't seem very healthy and a single meal can add up to 900 calories! Wow, watch what you eat guys. Good food and exercise is the key. I just started measuring my weight regularly not very long ago. By Christmas I hope to go down to 145lb and by my birthday in may I want to be at my goal. I can't wait to show off my new achievement at the beach and on stage because I dance. Good luck to everyone!
