following: Serving Sizes Baby
performance: losing 6.2 lb a week

I just turned 30. I am japanese and italian so I intern have an amazing love for food. I have two daughters a 6 year old and a 3 year old. I want to be around for them when they get older. At my heaviest I was over 320lbs (my scale only went up to 320) I didn't really know how much overweight I was. I am 6'2". People say I didnt look like I weighed that much but I felt it. My goal is to hit 215lbs.

In my spare time I like movies and reading. I am a starwars nerd as is shown by my Rebel Alliance tatoo. I pretty much have every Starwars book every written. I am more a fan of the books than I am of the movies. By movies I mean the original trilogy not that new crap.

My other passions are body art and music.

I am a big fan of my BB Messenger if anyone wants to feel free to add me.. :) Send me a message here if you are interesting in my PIN.

Fat-Fighting Chemical Holds Promise
I read about this yesterday and I agree I dont know how I feel about this path but I think for those that are really over weight it might be a nice tool to get people started.

What was the 'lightbulb moment' that made you realize you needed to lose weight?
For me it was a combination of things. 1) my daughter told me I needed to lose weight because I looked like a cow. 2) I got winded when I would eat. (what kinda craziness is that when eating is a workout) 3) for the first time in my life I actually started feeling my weight. I had never really felt my weight before but I realized that I could really do anything that i used to be able to do very well. Hitting over 300 lbs also didnt help.

Blessed Be

The fat acceptance movement
I think that loving yourself for who you are is important. I feel though that to accept being fat is to give up. I mean I was really large I mean I am still quite large and for a long time I accepted that but you know what I didnt want to be that way. Now I refuse to give up... I refuse to take the easy way out and just decide to stay fat. Aint going to happen.

Blessed Be
