I’ve been struggling for my whole college career to lose then 10 pounds I gained. It took me three years, but I finally did it! I started running 3 years ago and that got me back on the exercise bandwagon, and then when i lived in a london six months after that I got used to no eating out very often and eating lots of produce. When I returned to America my weight stayed stagnant, but then I started weight lifting and running. This fall I started doing hot power yoga regularly and became a vegetarian.
Unfortunately , I’m not at my goal goal yet (another 10 pounds will be perfect!), but considering it took me 3 years of hard work to lose the 10, I’m not going to beat myself up. Just keep trying and trucking. (for refernce, i’m 5’8.5”. my starting weight when I got on here was 155 and now I’m 145).

eating a 45 calorie yogurt instead of a few chips that i might have grabbed – at least yogurt has healthy benefits and metabolized better. tommarow i’m going to bring a tuna sandwich with havarti and a cut up pepper to work, so i don’t have to eat the food at the resturaunt i work at. i’m only about 10 pounds away from my goal weight, but it’s the ten last pounds that are very hard to lose – but i got to study in London in six weeks, and would very much like to have dropped that weight – wish me luck!

I went to my first Hanson concert december of last year. I’m twenty year old and I figured by now everyone who liked Hanson would be older, and it would be really fun. WRONG. It was full of psychotic teens and twenty somethings pushing in desperate abandon to get closer to the stage – people passing out everywhere and throwing up do the pushing and shoving. So – there we were, packed in – being squeezed like lemons…i couldn’t even move my hands upwards to clap. The music was fun – but it was kind of creepy that the boys just now ignore the psychotic crowd as girls are passing out right and left – my friend told me back in the day they would say things like “if you guys don’t stop pushing, we’ll get off the stage”...but they don’t do that anymore. Conclusion – Hanson’s great, but I’m not going back to their ooncerts until all their fans are in need of knee replacements.
