I have been losing weight and trying to lose weight for about 8 months now. I started because I realized that I could be so much healthier. I never really watched what I ate or the quantities in which I consumed them. Now I realized that I used to eat so much junk and so much food! Now I try and drink a lot of water, and watch what I eat also cut out soda from my diet. So far I have seen good results. I could have probably lost more weight over this long period of time, but I have learned so much about myself which had helped me a lot. I plan on continuing to eat healthy for the rest of my life. Being on spark people has also sparked in interest for me to be a nutritionist. =]
