Ht. 5'1", Start: 196 lb, Today: 188 lb (BMI: 36), Goal: 145 lb - Hi everyone! Just wanted to post because I feel AMAZING!! It's incredible how much losing 8 (very unwanted) pounds can make you feel about yourself. I don't feel my jeans cutting in NEARLY as much as I did, haha.
I was talking to my fiance last night, just to get his opinion on if I was eating the right amounts of all 3 meals and if I was putting healthy food on my plate and all that good stuff. So yeah, he said that most of it sounded good - he did recommend a few tweaks in order for me to get as many nutrients as I can in my system throughout the day. And actually, he told me he'd talk to his friend, who's a professional health trainer, and get him to draw up an eating/exercise plan for me! I'm so excited, and this way, I'll know what types of exercise/food is best for my body =D.

Ht. 5'2", Start: 241 lb, Today: 225 lb (BMI: 41), Goal: 150 lb - Hey, haven't been on in a little bit. Last week I gained 2lbs (I was down to 223) but I'm not stressing it too much, it was a bad week. Hope all is well with everyone else. Anyway my real purpose for posting this was to talk to the "old folks" on this board. By old I mean 18+. Listen, we have our own board so I feel like if we are going to come to the teen board and promote unhealthy, unrealistic goals then we need to just go back to our own board. Example, if I say I only eat 800calories a day and exercise 2hrs a day (which is NOT true, just an example) and lost a nice amount of weight, the teens are more than likely going to try that. I hate to sound like anyones mother (I am a mother actually, to 2 children, I definitely do NOT promote having children at a young age, their father and I ARE still together) but do you not realize what you are doing? This is definitely not to anyone in... (view more)Hey, haven't been on in a little bit. Last week I gained 2lbs (I was down to 223) but I'm not stressing it too much, it was a bad week.

This is definitely not to anyone in particular because even searching back I have seen some unhealthy posts. I'm very dissapointed because I thought by us being grown adults we would all know better. How would you feel if your little sister/brother started eating a very low number of calories, not getting their proper nutrients? & exercising to the extreme? I hate to say it but anyone who is doing this WILL, I repeat WILL gain the weight BACK! AND THEN SOME! You will be even more unhappy and continue on with "the vicious cycle". If the adults use the teen board I feel like we should be ROLE MODELS. It's crazy that I've been seeing some 13 year olds make much heathier decisions than we do. It's pathetic actually. We probably know of many more resources than the young teens do, and we all know that starving yourself or exercising to the extreme is a big NO-NO. We are not on the Biggest Loser Ranch, lol. Hey even they eat more cals than some of us. I truly hope this doesn't offend anyone and if any of the younger teens need advice feel free to ask me. Don't give in to the unhealthy lifestyle. I lost 90 pounds before a couple of years ago, unfortunately gained it back with my most recent pregnancy so I KIND OF have an idea of what to do. It's only a matter of being consisent with it. Keep up the good work for all of you who are choosing the healthy lifestyle. For those of you who are not, try to adjust to a lifestyle change. You cannot live off of like 200calories a day for the REST of your life! Ok that is all, just had to get that off my chest. By the way, check out "Fruit Chillers", made with real fruit, great choice for vitamin C, you freeze them and eat them like popcicles, I've only tried the strawberry ones and they are DELICIOUS! I have my whole family hooked on them now. My daughter loves them. =) (view less)

Ht. 5'7", Start: 203 lb, Today: 199 lb (BMI %tile: 97), Goal: 126 lb - Hi everyone! I started my healthy eating plan last week, and have lost 4 pounds already! I'm amazed! Unfortunately, I attended a buffet at a chinese restaurant today, as a celebration, so haven't eaten very well :( other than the chinese food, I've only eaten veggies and I went to the gym earlier, but I still feel guilty, I'll have to get back on track tomorrow. My short term goal weight is 190 pounds, which I hope to reach in 3 weeks. How is everyone else doing?

Any tips to help prevent binging?

Ht. 5'3", Start: 175.8 lb, Today: 164 lb (BMI %tile: 98), Goal: 160 lb - Hey guys! Yesterday, I started 30 Day Shred again. Level 2. Needless to say, it was much harder than the first. But, I felt so energized afterwards. I haven't exercised in, like, 2 weeks, so I needed it. :) I'm doing it again today...and the day after...and 18 days after that.

Ht. 5'4", Start: 173 lb, Today: 173 lb (BMI %tile: 96), Goal: 130 lb - So I think I did really good yesterday. I hate oatmeal for breakfast, an omlet with onions cheese for lunch with a side bowl of carrots with 2 tablespoons of ranch. then later in the aftertoon I had an apple. Then for dinner I had 1.5 cups of Vegetable soup and inbetween all of that I had 4 servings of a 24 ounce thing of water (i swear i spent all day in the bathroom). However I didn't exercise, but I'm going walking/running tonight with my mom and sister...I was going to go walking with my Dad this morning but nobody woke me up on time...which is partly my fault I know, but still...anyway, I'll come back at the end of the week and tell y'all how I did! Love you guys!
