Losing weight

mandajean1 added an entry about lose weight : February 1, 2010 17 years old, 5’6”, 185 lbs. My goal is to get down to 145 by August, which is 6 months away. Right now I’m watching what I eat because I just don’t have time to exercise. And when I do, I’m not motivated at all, but hopefully as I get on with it that will change. I started Weight Watchers three days ago. I was doing fine, but today when my mom left the house I pigged out a little on trail mix (if you can call cashews, raisins and chocolate chips “trail mix”) and I’m not feeling to fantastic about myself.
