From cw, Age 14

Ht. 5"6, Wt. 127 - i lost 22 pounds i went from 147 to 125, and it was really hard. I'd been trying to lose it for a couple years but i'd just keep giving up, and here are some things i learned. 1) dont try to starve yourself.. that makes it take longer to lose ur weight, you feel awful everyday from not eating, and it leads to serious problems 2) everytime I exercise I'd take baby steps further everytime. Like if I ran .5 miles one day.. the next i'd run .6 and keep on going. Now I do a denise austin workout tape everday. its pretty hard but VERY effective. 3) Learn to like youself and dont get discouraged. There would be a lot of times when I'd look in the mirror and I'd be like "what am I doing? this is never gonna work.. it never does." but then I thought of how much I wanted that weight to just disappear and I kept going. thanks, hope this all helps
