disputedtruth added an entry about lose weight : I already feel discouraged. I want to be able to say that I’ll lose 50 pounds by summer, which is not going to happen. When I come to the realization that I can’t lose the weight as quick as I want, I wanna give up. I feel hopeless and ask “what’s the point?”. It’s hardest not to eat right when I get home from school. I eat perfectly healthy at breakfast, lunch and dinner. I just can’t seem to resist food right after school.

Definitely seeing some changes

AaminahRaks added an entry about lose weight : I’ve changed my workout regimine (sp?) so that I go to the gym 4-5 days a week instead of 3. And it is surprisingly easier! And I can definitely tell a difference. I’ve been getting compliments and people have been telling me that they’ve noticed how much weight I’ve lost. But the icing on the cake was that tonight at dance class I caught a glimpse of myself in the mirror while we were dancing and my legs looked fabulous! lol. Im feeling very optimistic.

sxc.hu: donsimon Do you ever wonder what others think about as they choose from a restaurant menu? Maybe I'm just extremely nosey, but I've often wondered what makes people choose certain dishes. Do they have a list of "acceptable" foods, or perhaps it's much more random, picking and choosing at will. I suppose it depends on your dietary requirements, and...
