Ht. 5'7", Start: 215 lb, Today: 205 lb, Goal: 150 lb - okay- so i've lost like 10lbs so far. it took a long time to finally get the ball rolling. i found out i really can't lose weight without counting calories- so i did and it's working. i'm a compulsive over eater- but i think it's less emotional now and more of a physical habit, so it's been easier lately sticking to my calories because i can deal with the physical addiction to food, just physical cravings, not as much of a mental dependancy. but i'm having one of those days where i feel like a beached whale. i biked to work and back even in 95 degree weather and ate 1275 calories of mostly very health foods, a lot of fiber and protein of course (fiber helps weight loss A LOT). but- i keep touching my body or looking down at it and tearing up, because i just have sooo much fat all over. i'm so disgustingly squishy- i can just sink my hands into almost all parts of my body inches and...

Ht. 5'5", Start: 155 lb, Today: 165 lb, Goal: 115 lb - So, I'm SUPER excited since the year is over and I'm going to be a senior next year. I really have to crack down and get serious about losing weight because I was to feel beautiful while taking my senior pictures, but bulky and unattractive. I just want to feel confident when I look at myself. I start my new job pretty soon, so I'm going to start buying my own groceries and such. I've tried a million times to lose weight, but this time has got to work.

Ht. 5'4", Start: 210 lb, Today: 176 lb, Goal: 140 lb - Hey guys, well I've been doing good...but I don't really think I can say that because the scale never moves! so I don't know if I'm doing anything wrong. But I've gotten into dancing again and am eating better. But I don't know, when I don't see the numbers go down...I just feel like I'm not doing enough and I KNOW that it's a gradual process...but still at this point in my life, I really need some motivation and when the numbers go down..I feel super motivated and just want to exercise till i dropp, you knoww what I mean? ahh I don't know. Just wish I saw a change in that dumb scale. :(

Just remember to try to keep a good body image and know that you ARE beautiful! If you need help check out the Dove Campaign for Real Beauty and then sign the Seventeen Magazine Body Peace Treaty.

Don't get me wrong, I have the fitness. I row the second fastest time on the team and finish the 5 mile runs before most of the team in the fast group; however, I can't continue on like this.

(ie: even 179 before season starts in mid August) Do you think this is possible? I know I have to mind my eating habits because I work out frequently. I feel like if I eat when I'm hungry and not mindlessly and a moderated diet that I will lose weight, as this is what I did at school. For a period I was down around the 170's but stuff happened and I gained back :X yeah...not fun. Anywho, yeah, that's about it. (view less)
