Hi everyone. After two long weeks of messing up I've decided that it's up to me to lose this weight and get back on track. I've seen how journaling has helped people on the board so I decided I would too. I have a food journal of my own but I also want to share with everyone else. Here are my stats.

Age: 17 (hope I'm not to young to post here ;) )
Height: 5'5"
Current weight: 227
Goal weight: 120 ( I know it seems kinda low but I have a feeling I can reach it)

Here's what I ate today and what exercise I did.

We aren't ignoring you wannabefitgyrl. It's just that this family is growing by leaps and bounds and sometimes it's hard to read everything.

You really are sticking to your plan. Good for you. Keep up the good work.

LOL....it's not because you're not popular I don't think!!! I just think that its because there's always so much for everyone to read!!!

You're doing great!!! I use my journal just to keep record of my thoughts...I ramble on and on!!! Just keep posting them...then you can look back on these days and pat yourself on the back when you see how you took the control seat!!!

Where are you going on your cruise?! Can I fit in your luggage?! Nah, I guess not! ;) so I guess I just have to live vicariously! You are continuing to do great on your plan, and I bet you have probably lost a pound or two, no? Keep up the great work! Love, Heather :x

Hey Wannabefitgyrl!
Hope you are having a wonderful and healthy weekend. I am hoping to go on a cruise next summer. By then I shouldn't scare small children by wearing a bathing suit! :laugh:
Keep us posted!
