Jordyn Tate added an entry about lose weight : I only started losing weight yesterday, but this morning I was two pounds lighter and had an inch off of my waist! :D I did my regular workout and track conditioning. I met another girl who is going to do discus or shotput (coach thinks I’d be good at that). She’s going to lift weights with me starting next week. I’m going to be burning fat and building muscle, which will burn even more fat! I’m so excited! Also, my body fat is down by 2% again. I’m excited to see how I will change in the morning. Even just my tummy looking flatter motivates me. I have a dance tomorrow evening… It will be difficult because they have a table loaded with my favorite treats. I did it today though, so I suppose I can do it tomorrow. I’m not posting my journal link, because it’s already in a post and it’s almost the same as yesterday. I’ve got to go though. Need to be up by 7 AM. Good luck to everyone!

Linnea added an entry about lose weight : 13 months (!) after it first happened, the scale once again showed a “six” up front. It’s entirely pathetic that my weight always stays within the same range of three kilos, up or down, but I guess the ability to more or less maintain it might come in handy at some later point. As I haven’t really dieted, it’s great to see that my body reacts to even small changes. I had Ben&Jerry’s this week but exercised on two consecutive days… stuff like that. Hope after all!
