wow- i found an old weight journal from the beginning of 2003 when i was 173 pounds(i didn't really start losing any weight until the beginning of this school year). i can't remember being that weight. i'm not sure how much i weigh right know but it's a little under 150 pounds. i feel great- ven though it's taken me a long while to lose that amount of weight i didn't starve myself or do anything hurtful to my body and i'm not more fit then most of the thinnest girls in my tennis class. i haven't gotten to what i want to look like but now i can run for long periods of time and not die and i've never had that before. by the way- if you want to know how i did this was i did taebo or a different cardio exersize and i tried to do 30-60 minutes everyday, i also cut down to a reasonable amount of calories ranging from 1200-1500. some people will say that low calorie diet and exersize doesn't work but if you're patient and you want to be healthy it works really great. i've lost 20+ pounds and i wasn't even consistant with all of this. i've had bad weeks and good weeks but if you just keep working on it you'll get it. good luck everyone!
