My name is Risa. I'm 23 years old and live in Boca Raton, Florida. I have battled with my weight since I was about 6 years old, and for the last couple years, I was finally winning the fight. But I slipped, gaining back 36lbs from my lowest weight in ages. Now I'm buckling down again to shed the weight so I can look on the outside the way I feel on the inside. But the road isn't always straight and smooth. For more information on my life-long weight loss journey, please view my first post here. This blog exists for me, to keep me on track and motivated. If you don't like personal posts or personal opinions, you took the wrong fork at Albuquerque!

**Please note that I am not a nutritionist, personal trainer, doctor, or in any way professionally trained in matters of health. Any advice I provide is based on my own thorough research and experiences. Please consult your physician or other health advisor for your personal needs.**

I cut off my Starbucks trips. The only thing I can get there is the Very Berry Hibiscus Refresher. (Which is super delicious and super low cal for a Starbucks drink. Way better than my ex-Frappuccino addiction.)

Lebron James. 2.2 seconds. Omg.

Given all the advancements in modern genetics and agriculture, the best new use we can come up with is how to engineer melons to grow with Hello Kitty faces?!
(Yes, this is real.)

Massive unfollowing spree…

I periodically sort through people I follow and remove those who either no longer interest me or have been inactive for an extended period of time. It’s really saddening to see how many people in the fitblr community have become inactive.

Hang in there. Never give up.

Jeeze, that&#8217;s talent. I&#8217;m lucky if I can just get my boobs to stay in my bra all morning without having to readjust.

Sorry, the question I was more asking was is drinking a liter of water drinking too much water? Thank you though.

Oh… :-P lol, I just don’t like giving out medical advice.

You’re fine. :)

Angelina Jolie had a double mastectomy, in case you hadn’t heard. How dare she remove those ticking time bombs from her chest, amiright? Like, hasn’t she learned by now that her body is public domain and we all get to vote on what she does with it? Sheesh, how selfish can ya get.

To add to the above: She had the surgery because tests revealed that she had an extremely high likelihood of developing breast cancer, not just because there were some odds out there somewhere that some women get cancer. She had specific results from her trusted physicians regarding her family history and personal exams/tests. Before you get ANY kind of surgery, even precautionary, it’s always worthwhile to get all the facts so you can make a fully informed decision.
