16. Anything Else You'd Like To Share? Hi!!  I hope to make some online friends here so that we can keep each other motivated.  I'm looking forward to getting to know you!

Hello!

Just thought I'd write to let you know that I have been having the time of my life on here.  I am very honest with myself in reporting everything in my logs and my activities daily.

I've only been doing this for 1 week today and I have already lost 10 lbs.  Mind you, I'm also drinking lots of water.    I plan on sticking to this until I reach my goal weight.  I found that my past fault was NOT eating.  You don't eat...you don't lose weight because your body is in starvation mode and then all it does is store everything that you've eaten.  Even though its only been one week, I'm feeling fantastic! 

Good Luck!!!

hello everyone =)
