i dont see how what you said was racist. I hate all the politically correct crap these days. Why cant we call someone white or black? i dont see how that is offensive. Well anyway to answer your question, see i used to be big, then i lost weight then i gained it back. How i did it before was by calorie and fat counting. It worked really well. Stick to about 1500 cals a day and also exercise which i do too for 40 mins a day. im doing this now and seeing progressive results. hope this helps. This is a great site huh!
