It was a challenge to really stick to strict diet and exercise routine, but in the end it paid off with over a seven pound loss. I was determined to really buckle down and loss because I have been stuck in at a plateau and weight just kept fluctuating. Well, my journey isn't over yet, I am determined to loss another couple pounds this month and by the end of the summer get down to my goal weight of 143, that would be my weight when I graduated HS. How many of us can say that?
