Ht. 4'11", Start: 136 lb, Today: 134 lb (BMI %tile: 96), Goal: 110 lb - I am very scared to go into 7th grade. The reason is that i am overweight. Actually, OBESE! I have started a detox that is really good for the liver,heart,and bladder. It washes out the fat and leaves me feeling good about my self. I noticed my skin looks and feels better. I have more energy too! I really want to lose at least one or two more pounds before school. I'm pretty sure i can. I exercise daily. I go on a walk once a day, And swim 20 laps in the pool. Or sometimes I do yoga, and then i do like 100 jumping jacks. I even walk up and down the stairs for about 15 minutes. The thing that i need most is motivation. I need support. So if you have any tips I WOULD LOVE THEM!

Ht. 5'4", Start: 173 lb, Today: 173 lb (BMI %tile: 96), Goal: 130 lb - It's long but bear with me :) I wanted to discuss with you guys if you feel people are hypocrital. My parents are CONSTANTLY telling me not to eat too much, and to exercise more and to eat healthier...but I watch them and their overweight, they don't eat healthy, they don't buy healthy stuff and well I don't think it's very encouraging and it doesn't really make me appreciate my parents at all. It just makes me dislike them because they aren't encouraging me or helping me at all. I know my mom wants to lose weight desperately and I know she's been really unhappy for a long time with herself but I feel like her low self confidence has caused me and my older sister to be heavier. My brothers are athletic so I dont know what happened to me and my sis. I hate it because my mom constantly is talking about losing weight, every year her new year's resolution is to lose weight, but she never puts in the motivation to exercise or stay dedicated to it. and now because of her example i am the same way. i can be motivated but that doesn't mean i'll be dedicated about weight loss. so what i want is advice. i want to know how i can stay motivated and dedicated to lose weight even though my family is not helping or encouraging me in anyway way ??

Advice? I think that since you are not getting the support you want (but don't need though it would make life a heck of a lot easier) from your parents, you need to support and encourage yourself. If you have AOL, put little reminders for yourself on the Events so that you will be encouraged a bit every day. Or, buy a bulletin board. Or, put Post-its on your desk (Nothing Tastes As Good As Thin Feels, You're Too Far Along To Take Orders From A Cookie, Keep Going, Just Do It, Go Walking, Don't Be A Couch POTATO, etc, etc.) Just encourage yourself any way you possibly can. Or, involve your friends (I'm assuming you have friends, right?). Tell them about your goals and they won't let you back down when you're not in the mood to work out, or feeling upset, or feeling unmotivated, or whatever.
BOTTOM LINE: You don't need parents to encourage you when you're losing weight: you need motivation, determination, dedication, and confidence-ation. ;) Good luck and keep us posted, Melissa!

Ht. 5'2", Start: 163 lb, Today: 143.8 lb (BMI %tile: 94), Goal: 110 lb - 143.8.... omg. im so happy. today i did decent. idk about dinner tho cuz my mom bought me spaghetti from her cafeteria, but she told me that the food was made especially for the weight watchers program so it shouldn't have that many calories in it. (her company runs a weight watchers center) but apart from that i did decent i guess today. by the way, EXERCISE BIKES RULE!!! ahaha. just my thot for the day. hows u guys doing?

hey all... you know what bugs me? when ppl say we want to loose weight for the "wrong reason" what ever reason it is the fact that we are trying to loose weight should be good enough so weather your motivation is to get healthy or get that guy on the soccer team to look at you im just really proud of you if you woke up today willing to do sumpthing about your weight there is no "right" or "wrong" reason to loose weight so dont listen to other ppl and do whats right for you luv and kisses ...candi <3

Hi. i have been overweight scine, i dont even remember. Well i started at the beggining of this year and so far i have lost five lbs. i work out everyday, but i dont do weight tranning so that i get max. results. ANYWAY i have had a ton of support that really helped. Along with this site, i write in my weight journal a couple times a week, and i have a very strict dicipline routine for myself. On my closet door, i have all of my goals for the month and i keep track of my progress. I also print out insparational quotes and different thoughts that i have about my life before and after starting to diet. it works, every day when i get up i focus on the day and what i want to make of it. Try it.

I started to lose weight-20 pounds actually. I want to lose weight before visiting people that used to tease me. I am trying to lose another 50, but I will settle for 20 pounds less by summer. However, I have lost my motivation. I have tried everything from models in magazines to thinking about the mean people, but nothing works. HELP! By the way, I am 5'4" and 155 pounds.

READ THIS: IT IS IMPORTANT Hey you guys, you know how it always says to keep a food diary? WEll i'm keeping a food and exercise diary. But it's not that simple. I keep a notebook in a binder, and a piece of paper in front of the notebook says:
Remember (which is to be repeated before each line)
How happy you were when you lost that pound
How bad you feel after overeating
How much you fight for air after going up stairs
How good you feel after exercise
How happy your dog is after getting home from a walk
How bad you want this
How much you love to (choice)
How much you hate gaining weight
How much you want to be (wished weight)
How much you want to be (repeat it!)
How much you want to fit those jeans
I read this to myself before i record a new food or exercise thing to remind myself. E-mail me at SerenityISC@aol.com if you would like to do this as well. Wish me luck!!!

Hey, I dont want to sound rude or anything, but If you all are serious about losing weight, then get up and do something already! I havven't been on here forever, and today I got on to see what was new, when I see a bunch of pointless messages on the bulletin board. Get up and do something...that is what makes you lose weight, not getting on here every day for hours at a time! It's simple...no more pop, get active, cut down calories, and be happy! Now GET GOING! YEAH!

YEah, of course you can get motivated by this website, but you don't have to get dependent on it, and that's what a lot of ppl are doing. Without this website how are they going to get motivated? That's what they're thinking. It's okay to get on this website every now and then, but don't let it be your total motivation each time you need to excersize! Get motivated by yourself, and don't get dependent on this website for motivation!
