Hey everyone!I am new to this website.I'm gonna tell you all my story.When I was growing up,I was always a normal size because where I lived,there were no fast food places close by,and we didn't have a car.So wherever I had to go,I walked.But in grade 5,we moved to an area with a lot of fast food places and we got a car...and that's when I started putting the weight on.I am now in grade 10,and I am 201 lbs.I don't smoke,drink,or do drugs.Instead,I eat.I am a very big eater.I even eat when I'm not even hungry.It is Thursday,June 10th`2005 and I am determined to lose 40 lbs by september 10th for back to school(grade 11).I just need YOUR help!If any of you guys have any advice or tips for me to reach my goal,please reply back!I would really appreciate it!Thanks so much =) xOxo!

Hey ther!! A good way to start is to cut out all junk food adn soda pop. Start to eat more fruits and veggies and water. Its good to drink (8) 8oz bottles or cups a day. ((if you get mini bottles like kid connection @t walmart it makes it go a lot quicker)) Then exercise. THings like work out videos running swimming biking jogging...anything is great. Miss K gave the idea of "weigh in wednesdays" its like you hide the scale untill wednesday whenyou weigh yourslef in. I always have trouble beacsue i weigh myself constantly and this seems to work like a charm. Just try to beilve in yourslef. Some confidence that you can do it goes a long way. were all here for you!! :) <33 good luck!!
