2.I dont eat healthy. I have tried.. but then I just dont eat ^^;

How we doin' gang? Had a pretty busy weekend, especially for not working. Didn't get to the gym, but did take a walk with teh dog on Sunday. Heading to the gym today at lunch!

beign awfully lazy these days XD.. and been eating a bit too unhealthy (not too much tho!) .. found uber light mayo ! .. 75kcal/100g .. too good to be true.
Gonna try go gym tmr.. been resting for 3 days now.

Hope it's ok if I can still participate?

Never too late to get some inspiration and motivation to lose some weight!

Doing pretty good here. The loss doesn't really show it, but I am sticking to my calorie intake and working out 6 days a week, I will have a good number by this Friday!!!
