Mar 25, 2009

Hey my friends, I hope everybody is doing fine, and feeling blessed, as for me Im 75 pnds down, some weeks slow loss others more, but it's all good im getting used to my new lifestyle, hitting the gym 4-5 times a week I started weight training, now people are noticing alot, like im shrinking or something..well anyways no problems with me at all, only sometimes I eat too fast and my tummy hurts for a while until my food settles, but other than that im good, taking all my protein in, every morning I make a protein shake , it's so good I add diffrent things and I enjoy them alot, and another thing I haven't lost a hair until now, actually my hair feels thicker than before, I will knock on wood on that, maybe it's all my protein and vitamins I take faithfully, well just a little something about what Im going through right now, I put up some photos, but I haven't had time to take full body one's but I promise I will.
