AoiMakura's journal

[AoiMakura]

Ok, so i really hate bringing this out in public but i fear if i don't get support somewhere i'll never reach my goals...
First off im AoiMakura and i guess this is gonna be my weight loss journal.
Im not like obese yet but i think if i keep following the same route i will be in a year or so. I'm 15 years old, 5 foot 4 [yes short gonk ] and 162 lbs [cringe] My main reason for doing this is so i can get fit for my birthday which will be my sweet 16. Whats funny is my b-days on Easter this year, lol. I also really just wanna look good in a bathing suit for once[i've never worn a bikini like ever], and maybe even get a boy friend but those are long term goals. For now my main thing to lose 40 lbs by my bday and you know what, i really think i can. I have 6 months to go i think thats plenty of time. Only problem is i have a really busy life cause im an honors student and a band nerd so that might complicate things a bit. Anyway so i guess i'll do weekly weigh-ins and attempt to get on here to write my progress every day. here goes. wish me luck heart

ok so not too good today, i didn't really excersise at all and i had a lot of high calorie junk i probably shouldn't have. but hey i drank more water then before, thats an accomplishment right?  

[Soi Tsuba]

yes, because water helps flush everything out of your system. (well to a point obviously)  

[Iconised Ghost]

drinking lots of water also stops you from retaining much, which means you'll be less likely to have an unexpected gain when you get on the scale ^_^ damn those water retention gains  

[Soi Tsuba]

I know those make me cry XD  

[AoiMakura]
