Any help with what I am doing wrong is welcome! I have a trip to alaska in june. i am so scared that the seatbelt on the plane wont fit! how embarassing! need to make this fall off before then!
I decided to get a hold of my weight and health before they became issues. I'm turning 36 this fall and although I don't have any major issues, my weight is an issue. I actually didn't gain weight until after the birth of my child--17 years ago but the weight has been piling on every year. I am attempting to mimic the Optifast 800 diet and with the guide of a doctor for 12 weeks and see how that goes. I am suppose to exercsise at least 5 days and so far I have been able to walk for an hour daily. My target is to be 192, ultimately I'm will be happy at 180 but anything is better than the 200's .
