Thumbs up 32 Mom wants to go to Law School needs to lose 59 pounds

Hi everyone!
My name is Mia and I am 32 years old. I am from PA and I just Graduated from College on May 13th with a degree in Social Work. I stayed at home to watch my sons who are 11 and 12 so it took around 15 years to complete. I stopped smoking before I went back in 2003 and I went from 125 to 175 which is what my weight was when I was pregnantI have been with my Husband since I was 16 years old and I love him so much! My dream is to go to Law School and go into Family Law for the poor and oppressed. Mainly children. I want to open a Law Office and have my Saint Bernard Mulligan as a Therapy dog hanging out with clients. I am having a really hard time getting a good LSAT Grade, maybe because of the stress I am under, maybe due to my lack of confidence. I started the 3 day diet with my Husband today becuase I heard rave reviews about it at my party. 41 pounds in 3 months? I would love a penpal to correspond with about progress!
Sincerely yours.
Mia

The 3 day diet is a fad diet and probably will not give long lasting results.Have you thought about counting calories?

OH! That would not work for me at all because all I eat from those lists is the fruits and veggies!

ugh I used to be really addicted too... which is one of the main reasons I gained a lot of weight >.> It's easy to sit home and eat and play it all day :-P I still play occasionally, but I'm pretty bored of it.

Hi Mia,

My dream is to go to law school, too, so this thread caught my eye! Have you written the LSAT yet or are you still doing practice exams? I wrote the LSAT in September - it isn't fun, but I think with enough preparation, it's manageable. Is there a certain section of the test that you find yourself struggling with?

Like you, I feel like losing weight will help boost my confidence. At this point, I'm starting to doubt that I'll receive offers to either of the law schools I applied to (today I was waitlisted at my top choice). But, regardless of whether or not I get in, I'm determined to look and feel better by September!

Good luck with your goals - conquering the LSAT/law school and the weight loss! Please let us know how the 3 day diet goes for you!
