This is my first day.... so bare with me! It is really hard for me to know my exact calloric intake (I am currently living in a Residence Hall), but these are the figures I've found online.

I've lost 110 pounds thus far, I am down from 250 pounds to about 140, though reccently my weight has been gradually increasing, I think it's time to increase my intensity and watch my diet!

My goal is to lose about 15 pounds in the next six weeks, though I am also trying to firm, tone, and build... my diet is low in protein, but I do use CLA, L-Carnitine, Diet-Tech, and Soy Protein

Well, I am still working out...... buring an average of 600 calories 4 times a week during cardio, I am trying to lift... I rotate between arms and legs 4 times a week, but I still feel limited to the machines I am using.. I just increased my intensity level and weight, and boy do I feel the burn...... I need to watch the diet though, SNACKS are killing me!

Good luck with your goals. It's great you lost over 100 lbs! I should show your journal to my sister. Maybe it will inspire her.

I mean honnestly my face looks completly diffrent, my skin tone is diffrent, and frankly my overall body compisition has changed completly, I can't explain now, but I'll show ya all........ it amazing what a drastic change in diet and exercise can do for a person
