Ht. 5'2", Start: 192 lb, Today: 200 lb (BMI %tile: 98), Goal: 125 lb - now that the summer is here it is going to be hard to lose weight because you are going to be bord but what will help is take a piece of paper and write down stuff you want to do with or with out anyone and check stuff off as you do it. That way you will stay away from the food and be active which will help you gain muscle and lose fat

Write in your Dairy or call friends on the phone, pet your cat,dog, hamster, whatever fur pet you have in the house I do the lazier on the flashlight with my second cat. Put the timer for 15 miuntes that will help you from craving. Do walking, running, that will get boradness out. clean up the yard, gardening. helps, biking scoctering, rolling sakting, hikeing, jumping jacks, sit and up reachs, soft ball, scocer, horse back riding if your family can afforid, tennis, mile run, all this will make you less borad, and they will help you lose weight.

Hi Bailey, I am also struggling with my weight. I have started walking and riding my bike more with my dad. I have been eating more fruit and drinking more water. I also put just regular cheerios in a zip lock bag and use them for snacking on.
I weigh 100 lbs and im 4'9" too. Good luck! Anna

Hey! I hav the same problem but you can jog a few times around the block, jump rope, and do jumping jacks for like 10 minutes each day, and cut back on your portions of food slowly, and drink LOTS og water! :) and also if u eat when your bored( like me) you could try thinking about a food that you Really don't like.

I also eat when I'm bored..alot. I know how hard it is.My advice is exercise. It has really helped me alot. If you feel like you are bored and going for food, try finding something that turns your attention away from food

I'm trying to break the habbit of eating out of boredom myself. Over break I just stay one the computer or active so I don't over eat. Like today I'm going camping. I will be camping until sunday. Just getting out and keeping busy keeps me from over eating.
