I know ive posted this message before, but i felt that if people saw it that hadnt seen it before, it would be good advice..Hi everybody, Don't ever get discouraged when you can't lose that weight as fast or as easily as you want, it will happen if you believe in yourself, and have confidence that you will lose the extra pounds.I started out at 140 pounds. That may not sound like a lot, but when your only 4 feet 10 inches, that is like huge.My daily diet (before the weight loss) consisted of a big breakfast, usually doughnuts, cereal, or something unhealthy, lunch at school (always french fries and pizza) and dinner at home, usually a starch, meat and something else. And never forget the snacks in between. When I started my diet, my breakfast was usually eggs, or a breakfast shake from herbalife, and a glass of orange juice. For lunch, I had a salad and skim milk, and for dinner, a small peice of meat, usually steak or chicken, with the fat cut off, and a veggie. While on this diet, I lost 30 pounds in just a few months. I came on this site everyday for encouragement, and with that and the help of diet and excersize, I'm finally down to a healthy weight. You can be too, just don't ever give up hope.Leah
