Hi everyone, I am trying to lose weight like most of you and i usually do really well. But during the holiday i just lose control and because im not used to eating junk, when i have it in the holiday seasons i get sick. I was just wondering and hoping someone might have some advice or helpful tips to get through the season while everyone else is eating junk and you are surrounded by treats. Thanks for the help

Hey James! I read this post once before, but until yesterday I didn't know who you were, and I didn't know u really felt THIS way.

Anyway, I think you are a really great kid, and personally if you decided to "cut it all off" as you say, I'd miss ya! ; ) Also, you should remember, just as Joe said, there is no fast way, welll at least there is no fast HEALTHY way.

Hey guys! I am doing pretty good on my diet. I gave up regular pop and haven't had any in about a month, but it is hard to keep on exercising. Sometimes I would rather have ice cream or fastfood. It is also extremely hard because my best friend(Who I love dearly) is overweight and has fastfood everyday and if I say I don't want any she will buy it for me. Who wants to turn down good, free food??? Anyone interested in being diet buddies email me at shimmer4ever99@aol.com. Also, just in case you wanted to know, I am a girl! Thanks and good luck!

DID YOU KNOW: If you were to be absolutely perfect with your eating, and exercised every day for one week, and had the fastest metabolism in the world, it is only possible for the human body to get rid of 3lbs of stored fat per week? thats a fact. Anything else is water or muscle. So all you people out there who want to lose 50lbs in 6 weeks or whatever ridiculous expectations you have, heres the reality check!

Hi, My story isn't really a true success story; even though I lost over 20 pounds in only two months. I was anorexic and became so due to children at my school making fun of me for being 135 pounds. All of my friends were and still are very skinny. I wanted to be like them so I just ate a meal about twice a week for a long time. Before I knew it I was down to 112 pounds. My parents really started noticing then and took me to the doctor who then in turn told me to "get some concealing." So I did that. It worked for a while but trust me people, once you start being anorexic, it is soooo hard to stop. I went through serious depression and lost many friends and ruined many relationships along the way. I think that even though I am a lot more skinnier than I used to be if I could do it all over again I would have accepted the way I was before. Please take my advice and never just stop eating, it can really mess your whole life up.
