Ooo! What a coincidence! I was going to start a weight loss regimen also to get back down to my previous weight of 185 lbs and perhaps maybe loss a bit more. Since my parents won't be around at home for three months, I will be able to exercise more freely without having them there to stare and criticize my attempts to lose weight. I will start to eat more leafy green vegetables and RAW UNCOOKED carrots (w/o boiling them in butter water and sauteeing them in meat juice leftover from the steak), usually the only time I eat carrots. I don't know what to do about the rice (hence the carbs) since I need it and love it (I have a rice belly due to my love of rice). Savory foods and salads just don't taste good with rice. I will see if I can cut my consumption from 5 bowls of rice a day down to 3 bowls. And I will eat more fruits besides apples (I hope I can find the time to eat fresh fruits instead of canned ones).

Age:18
Current Weight:246 lbs
Weight Goal:185 lbs (although getting down to the 200-210 range would do wonders for my confidence and self esteem if I even make it that far.)
