hi my name is McKylie...im 5'3 and I used to weigh 193 pounds...YEAH THAT'S BIG...the point is I was in denial for a long time about how overweight I really was. That was two years ago.Now I'm a freshmen in high school and I am down to 124 pounds. I still have some shape to me...I don't want to be a stick.I was so UNHAPPY when I was big. Now I get better grades,I have my first boyfriend, and this year I made cheerleader. All I did was act like I had had a gastric bypass. I know that sounds stupid...but it works.I told myself I could only have so and so ounces of food a day and all I drank was water. I told myself that if I ate more than I should...I have to burn it off. So every day after I got home from school,I walked down the road and back.It's about a mile.I also did 10 sit-ups every other day and push-ups every day that I didn't do sit-ups. You don't have to over work yourself. I wanted to lose the weight SO quickly and I became frustrated when 70 pounds didnt come off in a week. I took me two Looooonngg years. Keep going...don't give up...If you wanna chat,e-mail me: mckylie_james@hotmail.com
