Hey y'all!

Just found this board, and I am very excited to start this "journey" (hate to use that word, lol) with y'all!

A little about myself and my weight loss history, well, I am 19. When I was in 8th grade I was 177 pounds, yea...I maintainted that until I was a Junior in HS and I had enough of it. I joined this place called The Karate Dojo and in 6 months I had lost 32 pounds. I felt and not to toot my own horn, but TOOT-TOOT, I looked great! The problem was, i lost it too fast. I didnt know how to maintain my weight. So, by senior year it was all back, and then some. I ended up topping out at 182 pounds. It makes me so sad even thinking about all the hard work I had done, and its result is that- 182.

Well I ended up getting lucky when my wisdom teeth were pulled, I couldnt eat anything for 2 weeks, NOTHING, NADA! So, I ended up losing about 20 pounds, and right now I have kept it down to 165. Still not where I want to be.

My goal is 128. I have a long road ahead of me, but I know with the support from y'all it'll make it a lot easier!

Can't get want to get to know you guys!

Try this i got from a friend. Its very helpful. Drink two cups of water in the morning. Wait an hour to eat. And do this before each meal. Then just one cup after an hour after eating.
