LeslieBurns added an entry about Going to lose weight: I have been trying to lose about 8 pounds for the last 4 months. Since high school I have put on 23 pounds but I’m getting back to where I was when all of sudden I couldn’t lose anymore, well I wasn’t trying too hard either, lol. Now I am going to. I have a new recipe book for healthy diets and I am going to get those 8 pounds off naturally.
