following: Leah22's own diet
performance: gaining 1.4 lb a week

I am 23 years old, and very out of shape! I am a mother of a beautiful 2 year old, and need activities that I can do to lose weight that will include him... such as going for long walks. I am very out of shape, so I need somewhere to start that wont make me drop dead. I have very low self esteem, and I know that losing weight will help me love myself again. I am 5'7" and 250 lbs. I need help!!

One Week Positive Thinking CHALLENGE!
Mother Nature never gives you more than you can handle.

I will step on.

I WILL get that job tomorrow.

I will support my son, and we will make it through all the tough times.

My uncle is in a good place now, and he is smiling down on his family.

My family will make it through all the trials and tribulations we have been handed.

WE ARE TOUGH!!

Hey, Leah22, are you a cosmetologist? I am (inactive), and you look like one.
I don't think I'd be good at doing hair, I don't even know what to do with mine.. lol. I have naturally curly hair, and right now its quite short. I just never know what to do with it. I am not all that good at judging what would look good on others either, so I think I will stick to nursing. I think I want to be a nurse in labor and delivery someday.

I know that giving up certain foods can be difficult, but if you want to really lose weight, you have to limit them, make healthier choices. It won't be easy at first, but will get easier. Don't keep the bad food in the house. Only buy healthy alternatives when you go shopping. You want chips, or something with a crunch? Pick up an apple, carrot, celery, something healthy that is crunchy. You can find something to replace that thing you're craving. Craving fried chicken? Take boneless skinless chicken breast, and put a little olive oil in a pan, and fry the chicken breast in the olive oil with light seasoning. You can find something close. Want cake? Make healthy muffins, and get some whipped cream cheese and use that as "frosting" Follow serving sizes too, that helps!

Hope this tips helped!!

GOOD MORNING BEAUTIFUL FRIENDS!!!!!!!!!!!!
Do you know how to submit a journal entry on here instead of a new chat forum topic? On the right hand side of the screen under where it says My Fatsecret, it says My journal in blue, and right next to that it says record a journal entry in gray. If you do that instead its easier for friends to find it later on when they go to see if you posted anything for the day. Hope this helps you out.

Hey, Leah22, are you a cosmetologist? I am (inactive), and you look like one.
LOL!! Unfortunately, thats not really what I look like. I went to www.taaz.com and did a virtual makeover. It looked so good I decided to use it. I am a "Care Specialist" Basically a nurses aid without a current license. I dream of either going to cosmetologist school, or nursing school. I don't know if I'd ever pass as a cosmo though! Thanks for the compliment though! And you are welcome for the encouragement.
