Ht. 5'8", Start: 156 lb, Today: 156 lb (BMI %tile: 91), Goal: 140 lb - Hello all I have came from the preteen board so I made today's weight my starting weight.
Here's basically my situation.
I am kind of in the middle weight range for my school.
There are people that litterally eat salads 6 times as big as i do and get like to or three courses of the lunch menu and they know their weight and dont care.
Then there are people who eat a normal lunches but get like junk food all of the time and they are still skinny because of my metabolism.
Here is what I eat.
What the school serves if its really greasy i get extra napkins to wipe the grease off, crutons with ranch (i know ranch is not healthy but I only get a scoop to a scoop and a half on a scoop of crutons and i dont get it every day)
I am in tae kwon do every day and I usually walk home from school unless I am sick or its super cold or hot.

I am in tae kwon do every day and I usually walk home from school unless I am sick or its super cold or hot.
My problem is at home though.
We have junk food at my house and when I am on the computer I dont even notice what I am eating until its too late.
My appearence/weight
When i call myself fat in front of people some think i am kidding
I dont have much fat on my arms or legs but its my belly and back that are the problem
Most medium adult clothes are big on me so I am probably an adult small.
In the locker room though I just change my shirt really quickly in front of people and go into a stall to change my pants.
I think mostly this is what I think about myself
But both my parents my mom (who eats healthy some of the time and goes to Curves like 3 or more tiems a week and walks a lot at her hospital job) and my dad (who washed his hands clean of me) are overweight/obeses
Thats another reason i do it though I want to be healthy and I want my mom to be healthy
When i talk to her about being healthy she tells me her doctors says she is healthy which i beleive and that she eats pretty healthy and goes to curves I just wish she had a way she could feel pretty
When i ask to get healthy food she wants me to pick it out and i dont know what to choose
I know this is long and might possibly take up the whole page PLEASE COMMENT AND READ THE WHOLE THING I think i am a little overweight, have bad eating habits, but my worst trait is I have a Very low self esteem for some reason (view less)

Ht. 5'4", Start: 170 lb, Today: 170 lb (BMI %tile: 96), Goal: 145 lb - So my first two months of high school have been really good but I just don't want to be this unhealthy for all four years. I look at all my skinny friends and get so jelous. Guys constantly tell me that I'm pretty but they'd like me if I were skinnier. I know I'm making this sound like I'm just doing it for them but I truly want to do this for myself and become healthier. I want to sign up for lacrosse in the spring and I want to be fit for that. wish me luck:]

Ht. 5'1", Start: 151 lb, Today: 144 lb (BMI %tile: 96), Goal: 110 lb - I lost 6 pounds! Last time (before yesterday) I weighed myself I was 149. Now I'm 144! But I think the scale must've made a mistake. My diet has been bad (but I havent been eating as much), but I have been excerising more. I walk my dog everyday (i think its about 3/4 of a mile, or maybe 1 mile) and I started doing 200 jumping jacks everyday and I go to the gym atleast 2 days a week. But I don't look or feel like I lost weight. And I ate alot this morning. I'm going to the gym again to weigh myself, because it must've been a mistake. And if it wasn't, atleast I'm not in the 98 percentile anymore (i think)!

Ht. 5'3", Start: 190 lb, Today: 155 lb (BMI %tile: 92), Goal: 130 lb - I got down to 148 lbs a while ago, but then my mom started bringing home pop and halloween candy from work and I completely fell off the healthy eating wagon. That & the cold snowy weather makes it hard to get motivated to go for walks. I'm back up to 155, yikes! And it's not only the weight, my skin is a lot oilier & I'm breaking out too. I'm done eating for today, and tomorrow I'm going to start eating healthier again. I already have my meals planned out.

Ht. 5'3", Start: 216 lb, Today: 216 lb (BMI %tile: 98), Goal: 150 lb - Okay, first off let me say that i think every person who is overweight is beautiful just the way they are. I've read many entry's in here where people are so ashamed of themselves and they shouldn't be. I've been overweight my entire life and i'm completely okay with myself. I'm confident in who i am and have no shame in my body. I get that when it comes to shopping, you can't always get the cute clothes and end up having to settle for something that fits, even if you don't like it. i've been there, i'm still there in fact. but you must remember that you are you for a reason. So i don't anyone downing themselves because they're overweight. You can do anything smaller people can do. Despite my size, I'm on my high school's dance team and i'm an amazing dancer. (i'm not trying to be cocky or anything, promise.) But i've been told by many people this, anyways, i have many friends who love ...

No pun intended).
Anyways!
Although i'm comfortable with my size, i'm concerned for my health. I don't know, one day it just hit me that my weight can lead to serious problems with my health and if i don't take action now, i'll leave this beautiful world too soon. So, what i'm asking is for tips helping me reach my goal weight in a healthy way. This includes exercise tips and diet suggestions. Any help is greatly appreciated. :) (view less)
