Thread: As The Rush Comes ..........

18lb seems very do-able in 5 months, and with 9-10 years experience... you should be just fine.

posting a Journal here really keeps you motivated too. I'm always like "well damn I cant post that I did nothing today, Let me at least walk around the park or something lol"

Looking forward to your progress, I'll be following along.

Thank you for considering a journal. Best wishes on achieving your goals!

Forgot to mention, my hormones are out of whack! Doctor(s) trying to figure out the cause of all this.
I am currently on synthroid 88 mcg for my hypo thyroid.

I do well with my diet (Sunday - Monday) , the weekends are my weakness I need some self control Being able to enjoy 1-2 cheat meals on a friday,saturday and STOP!!! If I can control this, I know I will get to my goal!!!
