HI everyone.
I'm new here. This is my first post. For the last week or so, I've been reading a lot of the posts. They have been very inspiring to me.
You have all done so well. I'm 21 years old. I'm currently a junior in college studying to be a Preschool-4th grade teacher. I'm also a care bear collector. About two years ago, I lost between 50-55 pounds. I was doing so great. Then I gained it all back, plus some. January 22nd I tried the ear staple acupuncture thing. It hurt me pretty bad. So I lost 7 pounds in 3 days. Then nothing. It became loose and no longer worked. So I went back to the doctor and he took that one out and put in another one. Oh man did that hurt.
This one too only worked for a couple days and I didn't loose any weight. So I started exercising. I've been doing the George Foreman walking dvds. On February 22nd I started taking Leptopril. I also bought a treadmill 5 days ago. I have been doing 30 minutes a day over 1.5 miles since I've had it. I have to take my time and build slowly. Since the 22nd I have lost ten more pounds. Now I'm down 18 total.
I've been drinking a lot fo water and the leptopril really helps me with my cravings and seems to give me energy. I really hope that I have found something that will work this time. I'm trying to learn to eat right so that this time I can keep the weight off. I still have a long way to go to get to my goal. But who knows, by the time I get there I may decide that I am comfortable at a higher weight. I can't even remember the last time that I weighed what my goal is now. I just wanted to say I'm so glad I found this place. I look forward to getting to know you all better.
