Hi Halle, I'm homeschooled too. It's hard for us to get p.e. because of the fact, which lead to my weight gain. I understand about staying in your room when you're bored, I did the exact same thing... But its important to use that time to help lose weight by execising. Your Mom is right, eating 3x daily is healthy for you and helps your metabolism rate stay high. Just don't eat as much as you usually do, I've heard a lot of ppl say that its good to cut what you eat in half, try that. I'd like to by your weight loss buddy if that's okay with you. What's your email address? Mine is poorlilangel@juno.com. Email me sometime if you need any advice about dieting or exercise or just support and motivation... In the last month or so I've become a fitness expert. LOL Good Luck -Veronica
