Filler says it should be a goal for everyone, but they have to have realistic expectations or they'll stop trying at all.
Jovette Van Horn was a normal active teen, and was never really overweight. When she went to college she put on the "freshman 15," and then some. Late-night pizzas were the norm. Van Horn continued to gain weight. She tried every diet, every program, and after a few weeks or months she would go back to her old habits.
A year ago, Van Horn went to the bariatric clinic. She realized it was time to lose weight. Her goal was to lose 200 pounds.
"Before I started the program I had borderline high blood pressure. I was sort of what I would call pre-diabetic. I had high blood sugars," says Van Horn. "I couldn't walk from my car into the building without becoming short of breath," says Van Horn.

至于Freshman 15，看下面背景材料：
|
-------------------------------------
[New words & Expressions]
teen n.(=teenager) 青少年(13至19岁的人)； adj. (=teenaged)十几岁的；13-19 岁的 e.g. the beginning of teen period 少年时期的开始
borderline n.边界线 adj.介乎于两者之间的 e.g. a borderline case 介乎两者之间的情况
short of breath 气短
put on 增加；添上 e.g. So many people wanted to go to the match that another train had to be put on."要去观看比赛的人那么多,只好增开一列火车。"// put on speed 增加速度 // The old gentleman likes to put grease on his hair to make it shiny.老先生喜欢喜欢给头发擦上发膏使它光亮。
Freshman 15 -- (It's part of college folklore that incoming freshmen can expect to gain five, 10, 15 or more pounds by the end of their first year — students call it the "Freshman 15.")
听错的地方：
activity team -->> active teen
and then sounds -->> and then some
late night pieces with the norm -->> late-night pizza was the norm
As you will go -->> A year ago
burt to one -->> borderline
p.s.
倒数第2、3句谁要是能完全听出来，我佩服死谁！（气短？说话还这么快！
）
-------------------------------------
and was never中的and was 没有听到
some听成了sum,没有理解意思
Late-night pizzas 听成了Late night Peters
had borderline high blood pressure听成了had to boardline help lie pressure. 关键是语速快没有把握清楚，再加上有生词，一丝不理解，所以就犯了错误。
pre-diabetic 是不是可以勉强译为有糖尿病证兆的
high blood sugars/pressure高血糖/高血压
freshman15不知道是什么意思
high blood sugars高血糖
-------------------------------------
生词：
teen n.(=teenager) 青少年(13至19岁的人)； adj. (=teenaged)十几岁的；13-19 岁的

put on 增加；添上
Freshman 15 -- (It's part of college folklore that incoming freshmen can expect to gain five, 10, 15 or more pounds by the end of their first year — students call it the "Freshman 15.
put on Freshman 15
kind of/sort of
gain weight /lose weight
听错的地方
1.gulf--》goal for元音听错，其实语意也说不过去
2.team --》teen 没有想到这个词，但是也觉得m和n音有时候也比较难区分
3.sound --》some 自己以为是后来健康，实际上是说后来体重又增加了一些
4.let light piece of with the norm.Late-night pizzas were the norm，其中1）let,late元音不分2）l，n混淆3）pizzas不熟悉4）were和with听混
5.with time -->it was time这里错了很不应该拉
6.bared a lot of pressure --》borderline high blood pressure 对borderline不是很熟悉，blood最后的d非常的轻，近乎没读
7.so that --》sort of其实这里音并不难，一时忘了这个词
8.pray a day at high blood pressure----》pre-diabetic at high blood sugars 其中diabetic与后面的at连读，增加了难度，再加上联想不够，就。。。sugars现在听多了，也觉得很清楚
倒数第二句是不是I was kind of on the pipe ,sort of what I would call pre-diabetic at high blood sugars to meaning ?? borderline high.
