Ht. 5'4", Start: 190 lb, Today: 169 lb (BMI %tile: 94), Goal: 130 lb - I did good and bad today. I had toast with jam for breakfast, blt and like 2 bites of a sugar cookie for lunch...problem was dinner...we went out. I had this small burrito thing but I ate all the rice and beans, oh and chips and salsa. I did really great at the beginning of the day so I hope that kind of balances out my dinner. I sped walked 2 miles on the tredmile. Not very much but I feel really good. I always feel good after exercising. I'm going to a concert tomorrow and so that means I'll be going out to dinner with my sister. I'm doing Weight Watchers. If you don't know how that works I'll give a brief summary. In WW food is a certain amount of points based on fat, protein, and carbohydrates and each day you get a certain allotment of points based on weight, height, and gender along with bonus points for the whole week. It sounds confusing but so far... (view more)I did good and bad today. I had toast with jam for breakfast, blt and like 2 bites of a sugar cookie for lunch...problem was dinner...we went out.

It sounds confusing but so far it's been working really well for me. Anyway, I planned what I'd be eating tomorrow at dinner (which took up most of my points) and so now I know how to eat the rest of the day in preparation for dinner. How do you guys manage big events like parties and stuff or going out to dinner? Any tips and advice? (view less)

Ht. 5'1", Start: 205 lb, Today: 205 lb (BMI %tile: 98), Goal: 180 lb - Hey everyone! My name is Gabby and long story short, I have tried to lose weight ever since I was 14, but I have always failed. This site has helped me be motivated but I always seem to fail over and over again. I am leaving the past behind and I want to start again, and see where my future leads to. It would be great to have buddies during my journey, we could motivate each other!

Ht. 5'8", Start: 215 lb, Today: 215 lb (BMI %tile: 97), Goal: 160 lb - Hey guys. I have been having a rough time in the weight loss department. I lost a lot of weight a few years ago, but I have gained most of it back in the last couple of months. I have started riding my bike nearly 20 miles a day, but I am still gaining weight. I'm really starting to lose hope. I need a buddy, or multiple buddies, that I can talk to for support. Does anybody have any ideas?

Ht. 5'3", Start: 162 lb, Today: 157 lb (BMI %tile: 93), Goal: 118 lb - I am not giving up to reach my goal weight!! if you teens have trouble reisting craveings. Take a walk, or horse around.. That a poun.. Jump rope, running, jog, strecthcs. Eat less . Anyone over 300 pounds. I can help. I am trying to encourge you young women and young men.. Dont give up!! Fisber is a good way to burn calories!!! I believe you guys can do it. I used to lose movtion, not anymore since I came here Early Spring.. If there are qustions how I lost weight? I don't think types exist to buy in stores. Anymore.. That was about a few years a go.. I got rid a lot 3 years a go.. Workout DVDS are recmmand, stop being lazy and getting moving now, that bad for your health and well being... Check out the TV tickets!! They are a good tool for kids and teens who have TV .. Limt TV about 15 miuntes.. Try an excrise that you never done before. Once you get used to excrise you might want to try a difftern excrise. No point being lazy.. Sweat helps you lose weight.. Just do something usefull. How you Taylor?

Ht. 5'4", Start: 190 lb, Today: 170.4 lb (BMI %tile: 94), Goal: 135 lb - I had a really crappy day today...I went to the Olive Garden with my sister. I brought home half of my dinner because I had already eaten 4 breadsticks, salad, and stuffed mushrooms. Then on the way home we got ice cream cones! I refer to my sister as a "diet sabotager" because all she wants to do is eat when we hang out. She tells me almost every time we go out to forget about my diet and live just that one night....I love my sister but there's a reason she's overweight. I don't wanna look like her. We look alot alike in appearance. Same hair, eyes, facial features. You can tell we are related. She had a daughter 2 years ago and people in my neighborhood always mix us up...I don't want people to think I'm her, or that I look like that. It's sad, but it is kind of what motivates me. She doesn't like that I always turn her down when ... (view more)I had a really crappy day today...I went to the Olive Garden with my sister.

She doesn't like that I always turn her down when she wants to hang out. There are many reasons I say no, but the fact is I don't like hanging out with her because she brings back my old eating habits...where I don't think, I just eat. I came home after and jogged on the tredmile...I still feel stuffed from dinner. Does anyone have any advice on how I can let my sister know nicely that she's not helping me and I need her support? We are going to a concert on Saturday and she will undoubtedly want to go to dinner...I just worry that sometimes I won't be able to resist with her shoving food in my face and her eating so much in front of me making me feel like I'm not eating enough...advice? Anyone? (view less)

I'm almost completly happy with my body, the only problem left is that i have stretch marks. They make me uncomfortable. Does anyone know how to get rid of them? Anything that works well? Comments would be great!

Ht. 5'3", Start: 162 lb, Today: 157 lb (BMI %tile: 93), Goal: 118 lb - Hey teens don't give up to reach your weight goals!! I am willing to help anything with weight loss!! I did mess up on the chocolate yesterday.. I ate the whole thing... Well it was going to melt. I am trying to reach a healthy weight!! 118 pounds, and 104 pounds. I found that would be a good weight for my body frame, body shape. and Bone shape as well.. Hey teens don't try the slim fast drinks.. Not healthy. Please throw up to lose weight .. It will rot your mouth and teeth.. No diet pills.. I been chasing my 3 year old niece since Nov 2010. she is cute.. eat less, and get moving.. I liked the Speical K drinks. Very good if you are a runner. Or doing cross country.. I do get nervss.
Don't be discourged.
I hope you teens have lost weight!!! has anyone on here reached their weight goal and is now at a healthy weight? I am not there yet.
But I am not giving up.
