I've lost 11 pounds since joining 3FC!!! I seriously never thought I'd be able to do that. I'm eating foods I never liked before (i.e-chicken, spinach and broccoli, etc) I have about 39 more pounds to lose and then I'll be the same weight as Dh, lol. My new short term goal is to lose 5 pounds by my 23rd birthday (April 29) so I can get my pierced, lol. I'm starting to feel a lot more postive about myself. Something that I havent been able to do in a really long time. (that made me tear up a bit)
So ya..thats my little update.

''We have seen a consistent pattern in our weight loss studies that when patients lose 5%-10% of their body weight, they lower blood pressure, reduce LDL ["bad"] cholesterol, improve glucose tolerance, and in general, lower the risk for cardiovascular disease," says Catherine Champagne, a researcher with Louisiana State University's Pennington Biomedical Research Center.
Some doctors have reported that they have successfully taken patients off blood pressure and cholesterol-lowering medications after the patients lost small amounts of weight, Champagne says.
My good news!!!
