If you dont go after what you want you'll never have it
if you dont ASK the answer will always be NO
If you do not step forwards, you'll always be in the same place

You enter the name of a food, then click on that food, and it comes up in your food diary with the calories it consumed. You can set a daily calorie goal. For men, its more realisitic to have it for 1400-1500, while women want it more 1200-1300. You can track your excersize and it tells you how many caloies you burned. If you want to keep an eye on your sodium intake, sugar intake, fat intake, and all those things it has it aswell. There is a comuninty and you can post your weight loss progress, pictures, ask for motivation, and everything. Its like a forum. Its a very neat website and it keeps me on track and accountable for my weight loss journey! You should try it out.

Ht. 5'4", Start: 280 lb, Today: 278 lb (BMI %tile: 98), Goal: 115 lb - Guys, I am so sick of being overweight. It has seriously affected my life in so many ways and I despise it, but for some reason I cannot stick to eating healthy/exercising. I've been trying to lose weight since I was 12 years old and I've accomplished nothing; the only way the scale has gone is UP since then. When I was in seventh grade, I weighed around 200 pounds... that was about 6 years ago, and now I'm like 278. I've been at this weight(or just in the 270's) for a few years now. So basically, I gained like 75 pounds or so in just a few years. ANYWAY, I think I'm finally ready to accomplish my goals. I am sick of letting this affect my life so much, and I'm sick of being fat. If anyone has advice or tips, reply please and tell me? :) Thank you!

It sounds like you really want to make a change...so now it's time to take some steps toward that goal. To start off, you should pick a very short term goal, like losing 1 pound by the end of this week. Now, you need to decide what you're going to do to lose that pound. Pick something realistic that you will be able to stick to. I usually suggest cutting out soda & juice & drinking only water. It's a quick & easy way to cut out a lot of calories & water helps to cleanse your system & speed up your meatbolism. As for exercise, I usually suggest to just start walking. No need to tell yourself you're going to start running 3 miles everyday...it just doesn't work that way, you won't do it. Start by walking for 30 minutes everyday. As you get better & used to it, you'll naturally want to start walking longer & faster. Another easy change to make is to pick the healthy option of things you're ...

As you get better & used to it, you'll naturally want to start walking longer & faster. Another easy change to make is to pick the healthy option of things you're already eating - if you use 2% milk, switch to skim...if you eat chips, switch to baked, if you eat ice cream, switch to frozen yogurt. Ideally, you'll eventually like to cut down on all of those items but for now, making those changes WILL allow for weight loss. The most important thing is to really remember how badly you want this, because in the end, that is what is going to get you through the entire process. & one final tip, avoid unnecessary snacking. When you feel like snacking for no reason other than boredom...find something else to do! If you want a snack NOW, just wait. Say you'll have it later & do something else in the meantime. You'll find that you end up forgetting about it completely & realize that you don't really need it or want it. (view less)

Long time no post. last time i posted i was at 230 and had lost 14 pounds. i went to the doctors the other day to get checked out from a car wreck i was in, and i was back up to 241. id lost 5 pounds since then and Im keeping it that way. its only been a week i must say im proud. im hoping to lose 15 more pounds this month i have faith in myself as long as i dont emotionally eat :/ i actually psychically and emotionally wanna lose this weight this time. I Hate being the only Fat girl in my group of friends. i actually wanna have a boyfriend and go to dances and look pretty. hopefully by the time prom comes this year ill be out of the 200 and A-ok :D I find it useful to read books written by overweight authors that have took the time to loss weight and have recorded it. You might find diet girl to be motivational. Well thats all for today :d
I wish everyone the best of luck through their weight loss journeys. :D
Love Katie (:

What I'm ultimately looking for is someone - age, gender, etc don't matter - who has about 100 pounds to lose or more who would be interested in being "diet buddies." I just need a little support. If you're interested, let me know & we can exchange emails. Please be willing to be in contact a few times a week. Thanks!

My email adress is amanda_is_sunshine@yahoo.com please feel free and email i would love the support and to support you as well. (:

it's hard, but keep you head up! i'm sure you've heard that a million times before and you'll probably hear it a million times again, but it's the truth and if it's a food or excercise issue your dealing with then i suggest "the diet for teenagers only". it's a great really helpful book writen by people who understand teenage bodies. but what your struggeling with might just be stress. worry, stress, frustration, all that stuff may not seem like they can have a big effect on your health but it's happened to so so so many people and it makes it alot harder for your body to get rid of fats.
maybe try some relaxing techniques like yoga, or stoping for a minute everyday to take some deep breathes. anything helps. good luck, lots of love .marie

Ht. 5'1", Start: 220 lb, Today: 159 lb (BMI %tile: 98), Goal: 150 lb - I'm only 9 pounds away from my "goal", although that goal seems kind of pointless now. I was just looking at the BMI chart and apparently I have to be down to 130. That's seems so far away! I've lost 61 pounds, and will have lost 70 when I reach my "goal" and I'm proud of that... it's just that it doesn't feel like enough sometimes. Like last night, I had a sleep over and all of my friends are tiny... I felt so different. When we went swimming I was the only one not wearing a two piece. I don't know... maybe I should just suck it up and be greatful. I'll keep working.
