From Joey, Age 17 - 01/03/12 - IP#: 75.45.7.xxx Click here to reply Ht. 6'2", Start: 263 lb, Today: 264 lb (BMI %tile: 98), Goal: 185 lb - Started today at 264 pounds. Not exactly sure what happened. Walked to school a lot faster than I usually do in hopes of getting my heart rate up. 2 bagels and cream cheese for breakfast. Big (but healthy)Salad and soda for lunch (definitely won't be able to kick the soda habit for a while but am definitely cutting back from the 6+ a day I was having). Had two Trader Joe's cereal bars for snack (successfully walked past the donut place right near my school, was super super proud of myself). For dinner, we went to Chipotle but I went with a no-carb burrito bowl (but no dessert!!) so I'm hoping that wasn't a total day buster. Went for a walk with my brother and my dad around the huge park near our house after dinner. This is going to be one heckuva journey. Looking forward to sharing my future progress.

Reply from Jasmine, Age 17 - 01/04/12 - IP#: 32.151.138.xxx Great job!!! Its definitely really hard to cut habits that we've been set in for so long. You've done an amazing big step. I myself have a huge sweet tooth and ate a lot of sugary things that didnt fill me up or provide me any kind of nutrients. With proper practice you'll kick the soda and go for water more easily. Usually, after the first 10 pounds are gone it's so much easier to stay on track because its motivating. So keep going at it! Good luck and remember your support is on here if you need any! :D
