Ht. 5'8", Start: 250 lb, Today: 236 lb (BMI %tile: 98), Goal: 195 lb - ssssoooooo, i need help.
Or advice, rather.
15 minutes of work out 5 nights a week.. good or not enough?
some days it's more aswell, last week i did 45 minutes one night.
I wasn't supposed to weigh myself until next saturday but my mom talked me into doing it, not thinking haha.. and now i can't get it off my mind.
I worked hard last week, well, i guess i could have worked harder , but i'm giving it to myself that i did a good job, better than when i started.
and the scale today shows i gained like 5 pounds.
Is it possible after eating and drinking today i could weigh more than 5 pounds than what i actually weigh?
I know not 10 pounds or anything but i drank like 4 big glasses of water and i had supper.
It's so distracting!!!
should i lower 8 big glasses of water a day to like, 5?
would it make a difference?
thank you!

Ht. 5'8", Start: 225 lb, Today: 168 lb (BMI %tile: 82), Goal: 145 lb - i havent been on here in a couple of weeks. i lost motivation for a while. i thought to myself, i may as well just work on maintenance for a while, seeing as how i can maintain like no other but i cant fricken stick to my diet and lose the weight. then my sister and her friend came home and they wanted to work out, so i joined in. now im motivated lol i dunno why, i guess it was because i got moving and worked up a sweat and felt good after, which killed my instinct to just lay around and eat all day. anyways, christmas is in like 2 weeks and i guess my goal of 165 is kind of out of the picture, but who knows. i at least want to get down to 166-167 by then, that would be nice. i have a wedding to go to in february and id loooove to be 155 by then. is that possible? id have to lose 13 pounds in about... 2 months. it seems a little steep at the moment, since i lose weight very slowly lately. whatever, ill just try exercising more and try and resist too much bad stuff around christmas and my birthday in january. anyways, it seems everyones doing well, keep up the good work guys. xo

Ht. 5'4", Start: 150 lb, Today: 146 lb (BMI %tile: 88), Goal: 115 lb - Hey i just was losing hope that i would ever lose weight so i typed in successful weight stories that involve exercise. This site popped up like 2nd so i clicked. I found all of you guys being brave and going out on a limb. Sharing you stories and i wanted to share mine. I'm currently in the 9th grade. I have been like 118 my whole life. Then puberty hit. I went from a size 6 to a size 8. A training bra to a 36C in like a year and gained 20 freaking pounds. So i heard about this girl in are school that had anoreixa. I googled it and a 'diet' for them came up. i mean it it wasn't safe and the results aren't perminate. So know i am exercising 30 min. Everyday and i weigh in every sunday. Please give motivating support i need it because i live in a family of thins that eat whenever wherever. Please Help!

Ht. 5'8", Start: 250 lb, Today: 236 lb (BMI %tile: 98), Goal: 195 lb - So i haven't been on here in a while.. had about 3 cheat days last week and started a new diet saturday. It's been going okay, i'm aiming for 45 minutes of excersise tonight. i really wanna lose 40 pounds for my 19th birthday in 4 months! hopefully i can, i don't wanna go to the bar and feel like a fatty compared to everyone else. The diets definately gettin' easier, but i have my down days. I'm weighing myself in exactly a month, thought i'd try it out so i'm not getting all stressed out about a pound of water weight every week.
Any suggestions to help speed up with weight loss?
I'm working out 5 times a week
One cheat day a week (without it i'd probably be nowhere haha)
8 big glasses of water a day, and at least 1 green tea a day
no eating after supper
no more than 1200 calories a day, and most calories in the morning
Also, i've been eating bread every second day now instead of every day
More suggestions to add to this diet would be awesome!
good luck everyone!

Ht. 5'4", Start: 291 lb, Today: 283 lb (BMI %tile: 98), Goal: 180 lb - Lmao... so I went away for the weekend with one goal in mind... to get a pedometer and I did... But I also picked up something on the way... It seems I have a new boyfriend. A cute, sweet average-sized boyfriend. Lmao I couldn't believe it and he's athletic too wow.
I've been exercising for the past few days except this morning because I woke up late. Next week I have to weigh in again! That will suck! My pedometer measurements show that I am lazy and inactive... I think I'll increase my steps each day until i get my own little routine... Anywho stay motivated and Good Luck all!
