text: how can i lose my weight?   honey, i have been trying for years to lose weight, but nothing seemed to work. after having my 4th child, i have been determined to do something. in 3 months, i have dropped 39 pounds, and hope to continue being successful. i only drink diet, and it is very important to drink 8 glasses of water a day. walk for at least 15 minutes a day. that's what i have been doing. good luck, and stay confident.
