wow- i found an old weight journal from the beginning of 2003 when i was 173 pounds(i didn't really start losing any weight until the beginning of this school year). i can't remember being that weight. i'm not sure how much i weigh right know but it's a little under 150 pounds. i feel great- ven though it's taken me a long while to lose that amount of weight i didn't starve myself or do anything hurtful to my body and i'm not more fit then most of the thinnest girls in my tennis class. i haven't gotten to what i want to look like but now i can run for long periods of time and not die and i've never had that before. by the way- if you want to know how i did this was i did taebo or a different cardio exersize and i tried to do 30-60 minutes everyday, i also cut down to a reasonable amount of calories ranging from 1200-1500. some people will say that low calorie diet and exersize doesn't...

My tip is to just take it one step at a time. And also if you get off your diet, don't give up. Get right back on track...after all, you can't change what's already happened but you can prevent it from happening again! =D

A promise made is a promise broken. I didnt do that well again today. I was really upset and scarfed down some breakfast and skip lunch since i was crying too mush to eat. I got home and still felt really bad so i ate and ate then had some disgusting low-fat pizza and didnt finish it so i ate alot of crackers. i keep messing up... i dont think i'm going to do very well...

Nicole, is right. That's one of the worst things you can do, to get really discouraged over 1 day. Some people have quit their diets just because of one bad day, but trust me it's not worth it!! It's ok you'll be fine, I'm sure. Just try to get back on track and exercise and eat healthy and you'll feel so good once you start seeing those pounds come off!! It's all worth it. You can have a million bad days, and you can still get back on track, no matter how much weight you gain, or mistakes you make, you can always just get back on track and lose weight. It's not like if you have one bad day you'll never lose weight ever! That's how I feel sometimes, but then I jsut remember that it's only one bad day, and like I said, no matter how many bad days you have you can always get back on track. Believe in yourself and try your best, don't worry you'll lose weight!

Ht. 5'5", Start: 170 lb, Today: 149 lb (BMI %tile: 84), Goal: 135 lb - ok- i'm 149 and 5'5" now- down from 170. everyone can do it if they put their mind to it. i'm not going to explain everything i did to lose the weight- ive just been following my own advice and doing it healthy by eating better foods and burning it off with cardio work outs. i want to be 135-139 by the weekend after my birthday which is the 9th but i want to weight that much by the 11th because i'm getting a haircut and i'm going clothes shopping and want to buy really nice clothes that'll make me look great. i know it's pushing myself a bit but i'm still going to do it healthy but just be more strict. ever since i started acctually losing weight i haven't had a perfect week of dieting and exerizing so i'm going to do it this week. well, good luck everyone- even though nobody needs luck- all they need is a little willpower...

I messed up again...I mean-I'm doing really good with drinking enough water and i have been drinking about 4 cups of green tea, i got up early and did a little tae-bo then walked to school. I had a field trip for stuco and we sat around laughing at this comedian guy that was telling us to be good leaders. Then-sadly-we went to McDonalds adn I order a McRib value meal, and an ice cream sundae-i dont know why but everyone else had ice cream adn i just kinda gave into temptation. I felt really bad afterwards too. How can I resist the temptation i get when i'm around my friends?

I don't really understand how i can go through thanksgiving, mess everything up (diet wise), be on my period (sry for the personal info, boyz) and still only have gained 1 pound since before thanksgiving. lol. All I can say is i sorta blew it today when i split a medium not at all low-fat ice-cream sunday sorta thing. I'm doin 50 curl-ups a night and will soon increase it to 100 over a lil bit of time, and plan to start doin push-ups! I'm going to try the Ultimate Weightloss Guide for Teens by Jay McGraw (dr. Phil's son) Anyone else out there doing that? Well this feels really good to vent. I don't feel as guilty about what I ate as I did before I started typing, I really hope I can be 158 by next, sunday. ::crosses her fingers and prays:: Wish You the Best of Luck, much luv, ChElliE

Start: 130 lb, Today: 147 lb - Ok so i ate no bad stuff at thanksgiving and I stepped on the scale this morning and I had gained 17 lbs!!!!!!! I weighed 130 lbs. but now I weigh 147. I put on 2 inches around my waist too. I think I just might give up this diet. I mean why bother if i'm just going to get fat n e way!!!

Don't give up. It can get frustrating and everything but maybe the scale wsa just wrong. Don't throw everything just because of one setback...

Ht. 5'4", Start: 180 lb, Today: 163 lb (BMI %tile: 95), Goal: 140 lb - Hey everyone! I am Marie..Here's a little information about me...I am about 5'4" and around 163lbs eek I know, But I don't really look fat I kinda hide it well lol but everytime I look in the mirror I get depressed about my weight! I used to weigh 180 but I lost the weight while dieting and doing the treadmill for an hour a day..It was easy but for some Reason I just started skipping days than soon I quit altogether 'though I wish I wouldn't have! I was on a role...lol but I am going to start dieting and exercising again! I know that anyone who wants to lose weight can really do it because if you want to bad enough' you will do anything in your power to! Just think food only tastes and feels good for that moment when your chewing it but being skinny will make you feel good, confident, and social! I want to get down to around 140 and i'll be happy :) and then I think I'll be more... (view more)Hey everyone!

I want to get down to around 140 and i'll be happy :) and then I think I'll be more confident and just keep going from there. All it takes is about an hour of just simple walking a day or turn on some music and make up a dance, or jam to an exercise video..There's all kinds of things you can do! Than the other key step is to diet...don't necesarilly cut out all of the foods you like just start increasing your daily water intake and limit the foods you like...try to start eating more at home, rather than fast-food! Fast-food is really really fattening, In one cheesburger you could consume about 700 calories :(! But you can have lyke a free day every one or two weeks where you can go eat at your favorite restaurant! Good luck to all of you, I know you can do it if you put your mind to it! I love you all *MARIE* (view less)
