How to lose 20 pounds and keep it off by hopefuluntilltheend

"it takes a while but it feels great! "

How I did it: running and just doing what i wanted to do! it's great! 

well you first have to know your goal and mine was 40 but then i changed it to 20 so i could take it one step at a time.
Once you know that you have reached this goal your body is like finally moving with you!;
it's amazing. i woke up every morniing over summer vacation and ran about 2 miles. It was horrible! but WORTH IT! 

Lessons & tips: do not use pills, they don't work and are dangerous.

    10 pounds down 7 months ago

    Well, now that I’m back after traveling (been back over 2 months) about 10 pounds has magically disappeared from my body. I’d still like to get rid of the other 10 but that requires some serious lifestyle changes not really possible until my financial/stress situation improves. But 10 pounds is a good start.

    strawberrymouse is super excited about the all-new routine! :D

    Untitled 9 months ago

    Well, I started out being 176 pounds. I worked really, really hard. Walks and a very strict diet. I’m down to a 157. I’m pretty happy about that. But I feel like I can lose more. Which means, a whole new routine. The past few weeks, I’ve been cheating on my diet. But I do need to get back on track. It will happen, I hope. Sooner rather than later.

    the first steps 10 months ago

    So, being in highschool you often have the pressure to look better and better and compete with you fellow peers. but im not doing this for that reason, i hate the fact that i cant wear a t-shirt with jeans without feeling so bad that i have to cover it up with a jacket. its not that im fat all over, i have love handles, that happen to be quite large. they need to go! help me reach this goal of being 110!

    ruining me? 16 months ago

    its official, i’m a fat loser. i have now got to the mindset of “i shouldn’t be out in public like this” i really need to get out of this funk before it puts a strain on my relationships. my boyfriend loves me, but he is probably going to get sick of me. i never want to go anywhere anymore, mostly because i dont look good in anything right now. i need to get my mind in the right place before i will ever reach (and keep) any of my goals. gotta stop beating myself up over the way i look.

    I am ok... 18 months ago

    but I could be better. 20 lbs should do it… along with some cardio, weight training and a couple of years of martial arts. :D
