is there anyone here that knows a really good way to stay on a diet cuz i start out good, go for about a week and then if i eat ONE thing off my diet, i start eating everything in sight! i really would like to lose about 30-40 pounds by thanksgiving cuz a lot of family that i haven't seen in a while is coming up and i hate being the fat cousin. is there anything i could do to keep the motivation for my diet?

hey- i'd just like to say to people- just becasue someone's overweight but not as overweight as someone else doesn't mean you should tell them not to lose weight- if they feel like they need to and are doing it in a healthy way- fine- if it's healthy and they don't have any weight to lose then they wont. oh and by the way- if anyone needs a website to tell you how many calories you're burning and consuming throughout the day and during exersize go to www.caloriesperhour.com. i hope i helped and didn't offend people- but i'm sick of hearing that i don't need to lose weight when my doctor says i do just because someone weighs more then me.it really makes me lose motivation...

hehe My aunt taped a picture of herself in a bikini on the fridge to lose weight!! It worked, too. She'd see it and would eat healthy. Maybe I'll try that...

Hey everyone I just wanted to say hi an that I think this website is the best thing ever. I never could stick to a healthy eating plan before I came here an met other girls just like me who want to lose weight. I am so proud of myself because I actually turned down mcdonalds. I couldnt believe I had the willpower. It made me so happy and think "Okay I can do this. I can eat healthy and resist temptation of all the junk foods." So I just wanna say thank you to the people Ive met on this and to everyone else on this site and I want to say congrats to all the people from here that have decided to make a lifestyle change that they will be very happy with.

hey joseph. i know what it feels like to be teased and made fun of.. because 2 years ago i used to weigh around 300 pounds. it sucked. one day i just looked at myself and said " this is not me" but because i was way to fat to like move around enough to lose weight, i just eat better foods and started walking around my house everyday. in about a month, i had lost 10 lbs. i felt so happy. and in losing those 10 lbs, i could start doing work out videos because i could actually move better and i went on a vegetarian diet.
i am now 14 and i weigh 140 pounds and i am 5'7. i hope this story will inspire you to lose weight. if you need any suggestions, email me... gogirlem50@hotmail.com

hey...you can honestly do it. I just ask myself questions like, am i really hungry? is it worth the lbs i'll gain? etc...plus a good inspiring quote is "nothing tastes as good as it does to be thin."

Uhg... I just ate so much my stomach hurts! I don't understand how I can eat so much, I don't feel hungery and there is no good food in the house but I just feel bored or just feel like eating so I stuff my face (with food I don't even like) so much my stomach hurts I can just feel it stretching. If someone has tips to like avoid the kitchen or something, I don't know... I know brushing my teeth helps sometimes but usually I just head towards the kitchen.

Put up reminders on your cabinets (Such as quotes or pictures) that remind you that you're trying to lose weight. That way, every time you head to the kitchen, you'll see them and you'll be less tempted to eat. You could also keep a bottle of water with you. Every time you get a craving, take a drink of water.
