Well I am 5'1 and weigh 127. I also want to lose weight before christmas. I think having a buddy will just make it fun and alot easier along the way. E-mail me at genie280130@aol.com and mention the blubberbuster website because then I'll have no idea who you are.

I just wanted to post here and say how I was doing since I haven't in a while, and I'm usually here answering questions and all. Right now I'm 5'2", 144 pounds (the best I have been, yeah!) and feeling great. I made the tennis team and practice is 2 hours long, so I get 6-10 hours of exercise a week which is great. It keeps me busy so that I don't eat, because I'm prone to eating a lot in the morning, I don't know why, and it gets me a ton of exercise which feels great. I've been on this board for so long, since January 2000, I believe. When I first came here I was 5'1" and around (give or take 5 pounds)170 pounds. I hope that gave you people some reason to stick around, this is a VERY helpful sight. Good luck to all of you. We are all here to help you.

One of my short term reasons is highschool, and I'm going on a cruise to the bahamas. So I really want to wear a bikini. Plus, I want to weigh less than my mum...she went on a diet and now I weigh more than her. Also, just because I want to change. I keep a pair of my old size 8 jeans hanging on my closet, just a reminder. And If i "need" something to snack on, i go for veggies, or low fat whip cream;-P

I'm about to enter high school and I weigh 135 pounds. I really can't stand my weight. I don't eat very healthily but recently I've been wanting to lose weight. Does anyone have ANY tips for me? I have no self control and I really want to lose weight by the time I enter high school. My abdomins are looking huge and I get really deppressed when I go shopping with my mom. I'm also really short so I never fit into anything. I'm pretty athletic but I can't stand hanging with all these perfect girls who fit in a size 2, it makes me so sad. Some of you are writing about how your weight loss programs have been going. I smiled because I'm so amazed by you. Proportion wise, I'm not doing good. So please, please, I need some tips on losing weight! Does anyone have a good diet and excersize plan that they could share with me?(I feel guilty because I'm asking for so much. So here's my tip for everyone else: Eat rice puffs for a snack if you're super hungry. They're sort of like water in a food substance and they're only 50 calories for one cup which takes a really long time. Unfourtunatly they taste HORRIBLE! I've gotten used to them, but if you can't try Quakes. Quakes are these rice chips and for 1 serving there's only seventy calories and believe me, they are DELICIOUS! Also, while eating dinner, put your fork down after taking a bite. It takes much longer to eat helping you eat less.)So... any advice?

maybe you could set up a reward system. my friend and i used to always eat heaps of junky crap from the canteen at school, like donuts, ice cream, you know the stuff. and it adds up to about $3/week out of our pocket money. we decided that if we dont buy a single thing from the tuckshop, the money we'd save would go towards us going to a theme park in the holidays that are coming up. it works really well, and it helps if you have a friend for encouragment. so maybe you could set up a reward system at home, like fruit for dessert, and well, whatever you want, you can make it as strict as you like, then say, you get a new piece of clothing or shoes or jewellery, or whatever takes your fancy, if you stick to that diet for however long you want to make it. it all depends on what your diet is like now. you cant expect to go from unhealthy to healthy in one day, thats why you choose the amounts of food and the time limit. good luck, keep me posted

I found out that i was eating about 2500 calories a day and sitting around doing nothing! No wonder i was so fat i thought to myself. I cut down my calorie intake to about 1800 calories (in the future it came to about 1500). I lost about 10 pounds. The first 10 pounds are the easiest to lose. A few months later i started exercising like running in place and riding my bike often. Then summer came. My grandparents own a resort on a lake and it was my first summer living there on the weekends. I made a ton of friends and best of all i was going all the time. I lost about 5 pounds and i didn't even keep track of what i was eating. Then, the summer was over and i was about 155 pounds. I was doing good, but i needed to get back on track. i stayed the same until January 2002 and by then i had decided to go for my original goal of 130 pounds. I am currently at 148 pounds, 5 foot 2 inches, and a size 12/13 juniors. I am still pretty far away, but i have come so far. I use to tell myself, if only i could be 150 pounds, i could be perfect. Now it has become 130, but when i get there, i'll stop this time. I hope i will never be above 150 pounds again. These last few pounds have been so hard, i became obsessive for a while, but decided it wasn't worth it. I hope this will help you overcome those bad days, cause i had a lot of them, but i know the good days are ahead, waiting for me. Good luck to all of you. I would love to hear your input on this story. Thanks! (view less)

Lately I have gained an enormous amount of weight and I want to lose it.I have become depressed because of this and getting really self-concious. I want to lose around 20-26 pounds. I think it would be easier on me if I had somebody who wants to loose weight also and sort of help eachoter instead of going through all of it alone .Maybe motivate eachother and kind of stop eachother from falling into some certain temptations like chocolate or anything like that. If you are interested please reply back and feel free to e-mail me.

Hey!
Maybe this sounds all girly n dorky n stuff, but ya know what helps me? I have an exercise bike in my room and when I get so tired I don't think I can pedal anymore I look up and see inspiration. LOL okay dorky or not this works:
Think of all the reasons why you want to loose weight. Think of everything good that can come of it, and everything bad that goes on now. Make lists. On big posters in marker. (hehe pictures work also cuz let me tell you, I dont really feel like reading when I'm about to pass out.)
Keep a journal of your feelings of success and failure, and the reasons why you want to loose weight. When you feel those cravings for junk food, or you want to just skip the work out, write in the journal for a few min. and you will find yourself motivated.
Also, find something- an activity- that you enjoy and can do on a daily basis and DO IT. Just 30 min ... (view more)Hey!

For example, I hate, HATE walking on a treadmill staring at a wall, so now I get up early in the morning and jog with my dog. That way no one sees me movin my big fat butt up the hill all sweaty and stuff, but I have scenery to look at and I dont get bored (or worse- absorbed in a tv show so much that I quit to watch tv). Hey I seem to have talked quite a bit. I hope I helped at least a little. Email me sometime if you want to. Newsiechic85@hotmail.com Keep me posted on how u r doing. Good luck. (view less)

Hey i know what its like, that tempting bag of chips or that tempting stack of cookies, but you know what made me stop? The thought of seeing my fat self in the mirror and being considered an ugly girl in school. I couldnt bear it so I stopped and now I've been doing better, but i still hope to lose more......good luck.

Hi. I have not put any thing up here before. I feel like a big blob of fat. And I look that way too. I some times want to be anerexic to lose weight. But I ralise that that is bad. It just seems like such a good idea when all my friends are at lest 200-250 pounds lighter then I am. I can't talk to them about it they would not under stand. Incase you were wondering how much I weigh I weigh 35 stone. (420 ponds) I just feel so bad. I tryied to diet for a month and lost 10 pounds. Then I stoped for a day break. This turned into me not starting again and gaining back the 10. This made me feel depresed so I ate alot. So much that to date I have gained 50 pounds or so. This is because of the viscious circle. Please help. I need it badly. I have been warned by my docter that if I don't loose at least 50 pounds I will have a heart attack in under 2 years. And it is just so hard to loose weight. Especially if you have close to 300 pounds of extra fat on your body. Like I said I need help badly PLEASE HELP.

Hey. I feel the same way yo do. Even though I havn't seen a doctor, I know that I need to lose weight (well, 35 pounds, which is A LOT to me). But DON'T go anorexic. It's a desease (that's not spelled right) and you'd get really sick and might die. NOT cool. About the heart attack, I would use that as motivation not to eat so much. whenever you are hungry, than think about it and maybe you'll resist. I don't want it to happen to me either. maybe we can work 2gether, you know, e-mailing back and forth. my address is bibbiss2000@yahoo.ca hope to hear from you. good luck

IVE BEEN READING THE MESSAGES THAT PEOPLE HAVE LEFT ON HERE. I COULDNT SEEM 2 HELP NOTICE THAT A LOT OF PEOPLE ARE LOOKING 4 QUICK WAYS 2 LOSE WEIGHT. I CAN UNDERSTAND THAT PEOPLE WANT 2 LOSE WEIGHT FAST BUT WHEN U THINK ABOUT IT ITS A BIT RIDICULOUS. U CAN ONLY SAFELY LOSE 1-2LBS A WEEK. THE REST IS WATER OR EVEN MUSCLE. UNLESS U WANT 2 DO YOURSELF DAMAGE THEN I SUGGEST U ALL TAKE A CLOSE LOOK AT YOURSELVES AND REALIZE THAT YOU CANNOT LOSE ALL OF YOUR WEIGHT OVERNIGHT.

I totally agree.. I wish there WERE a quick and easy way to loose this jelly! :) But.. there isn't. It takes hard work and determination! What I do to help me.. is buy incredible pants that are on sale.. that are a size or two smaller.. and hang them in my closet. I know I can't wear them, but I keep workin' until I CAN wear them.. this helps me a lot!
