My name is Chris, I am 17 years old, and I was recruited to this website from my sister, who seems to be an active participant of this site. She has lost weight and she looks great, now it's my turn to loose weight. I am starting out at 240 but I wanna be between 180-190lbs., since I am 6 feet tall. I love vegetables and fruits but it seems that I don't eat them as often as I should since I have no access to a car or money. If I ask my mom if we can get stuff to cook at the house to stay healthy, she prefers to eat out to save her kitchen from getting messy. I plan on hitting the gym every day for the next twelve weeks and to not eat a drop of ice cream, fried or baked goods, beef or pork, and SODA!!! If I can last 12 weeks without touching any of that crap, then I will never touch that crap again. I also plan that every day to make my pedometer go over 12,500 every single day. Anyways, I gotta stop rambling. Linda, if your reading this, I just want to say thank you for letting me know of the existence of this site and I hope you reach your goal in a reasonable amount of time.
