I went to The Firm's website a while ago after seeing how many of you use it and have had results with it. Well, it looks alot like a woman/girl kind of video, and I'm, well, not one of those 2. So, anyone know any other things like The Firm that guys could use, or is The Firm alright?

Today: 152 lb - Hey you guys, I haven't been her for the longest. I know a great work out, walk strong. Look in the video section in like, Fred Meyers--- or a grocery store with everything (furniture, electronics, ect. ) oh, and target. look for WALK STRONG and therte's this white woman with brown hair ont he front. That video is great. I'm 152 (because of thanksgiving.)before i was 149. Ao, this isn't just because of thanksgiving, but because i want a great body for myself and wont allow myself to quit this time. Also, don't send notes saying "I wish i was 152 pounds! God ur light!" because weight isn't the key factor--- i want to do this to get healthy, and lookk better.
Kisses

Hmm.. what i have been doing this week is eating only when I am hungry, and stopping when I am full. U see, there are 2 different types of food - ones that u eat to stay alive - and ones you eat for the taste. I know that food should taste REALLY good, but for now eat for your heath, not for your comfort. Keep exercising, and when you lose weight, you'll be able to splurge on yummy thigs you like. I have been doing that staring this week ( last wednesday ) and have lost 7 lbs! yay.
