Ht. 5'7", Today: 160 lb - I love reading this site - especially anne's posts! I love the way you talk about your b/f, anne, it's obvious you really love him, and that's great! I've been struggling with my weight since I started college early last fall, and went from 115 to 160 (I'm 5'7") in a few short months, because of so much sitting, and also not eating enough (trying to not gain the "Freshman 15") slowed down my metabolism and messed me up. So anyway, then this summer I lost 15 pounds by eating mostly just fruit and taking an hour walk each day, but now I've gained it all back to 160 - argh... although I gained some muscle, and am a bit smaller than I was before I lost it the first time - so yay, lol. Anyway, I'm just really, really weight-obsessed and it's NOT a good feeling and not good for me the way I don't eat for days, then get hungry and overeat, then don't eat again. It's gotta change. And I don't like how I get worn out carrying around all this weight, either! So, I'm making a pledge to myself, and you're all my witnesses.I'm going to do a total body cleanse to get it started - for 4 weeks. You eat mainly fruits and vegetables on it, and so I'm sure I'll lose some that way, then after the cleanse I'm going on the Rotation diet, and I'll keep doing the 3 week rotations until I get down to where I feel and look healthy and energetic again. I'll exercise every day for at least 1 hour.I'll weigh myself daily, and keep a journal of what and when I eat and how much I exercise, and I'll post on this board at least once a week to let ya'll know how I'm doing! Whew, that was longwinded, haha! Wish me luck, everyone! We can do this!
