I have been away for a while, as some of you have noticed. Around Nov. I took it upon myself to start a personal goal in time for the new year. I have been overweight for most of my teenage years, and IMO, It got out of hand recently, so I decided to take the situation into my own hands. I started to rollerblade, treadmill, and do a gazillion ab workouts. On a daily basis I have been rollerblading 10 miles A DAY on average, then about 30 minutes on the treadmill, followed by a couple of ab routines. I am proud to post today that I have lost close to 40 pounds.

Part of my problem was cutting down on the amount of junk and soda I would take in. I successfully switched to diet soda (probably the hardest part of my diet). I just wanted to share my success with you guys to maybe inspire some Ledgies whos goal is to lose wieght in the new year. I went from wearing XL shirts to now fitting into Mediums and Large!!!!! I will post some photos of before and after later on in the week. I hope this helps some of you on the weight loss road....
