omg that's awful! I can't believe he would say something like that. I'm in the same boat. I'm trying hard to lose weight I've started doing yoga and excercise machines more often. I love to dance tho. The thing is that i really need to change my eating habits and that's the hardest thing for me. I'm 5'8 and 230 but i've never had a boyfriend. I'm so sorry that he said that. my aim is Wishupnastar14 if you need someone to talk to like i do. feel better.

if you go on a low calorie diet and a good cardio(like taebo) exersize routine it will work. perhaps it didn't work for you in the past because you weren't being completely truthful to yourself of how much you were truely eating? it's simple there is 3500 calories in 1 pound of fat. if you burn 500 more calories then you consume a day then you'll lose 1 pound per week. if you burn 1000 calories more you'll burn off 2 pounds per week and so on. it's not healthy to burn more that 1000 calories more than you consume a day though. you have to be patient- that's the key to success...
