well i am starting this journey at 211 and i will end up at 140. i know i can do it i did it before and quit 10 pounds away from my goal. i know your thinking what was she thinking. well i don't think i did it for my self the last time. but this time this is for me. i want to be healthy. i am only 26 and i was always thin as a child. i didn't start getting a weight problem until my parents moved me across the Us to hawaii. i was very depressed and thats when my weight problems started. i have been up and down from there eversince. about a year ago i lost 50 pounds. i felt so good. i want to feel like that again. i want to be able to wear the clothes i want to wear. i work in a retail clothing store that is from europe and i don't feel very fashionable. i want to be able to wear the clothes i sell. well this time it's for me ! i'm giving my self until the end of october to loose 70 pounds. i know i can do it and i know that is a realistic goal. I have even got 3 girls at work to do it with me. I am doing weight watchers. i like this change because i can eat what i want. i can't go on a fad diet because that is not how i am going to eat for the rest of my life. and this is a lifetime change. i am keeping a hand written journal for my self but i have found this site to be motivational and hope to keep this journal also. GET UP AND CHALLENGE YOURSELF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
