Ht. 5'3, Wt. 190 - i'm overweight, and i wanna boyfriend for once instead of always being the overweight, yet popular, fun girl. if i was thin. boys would notice me instead of jsut wanting to be my bestfriend. you'd think if you were popular it ment you got the guys. BUT IT DOESN'T. i just really need help. and i made a goal. and it's probably stupid and unrealistic. but i wanna lose 50lbs before i go back to school. which is in 3 months practically. i have 92 days. I REALLY WANT THIS. i know i can do it. but i'm gonna have to take serious messures. that mean the gym for 3 hours everyday. and to make it harder. i'm a vegetarian. [which let me tell you. you don't get thin off being one, you gain 'cause all you eat is ICECREAM!] so i can't eat anything but tofu, vegies, and fruit. i've decided to give up caffeine. so i'll just be drinking water. my mom threw out everything that's bad for me. and so she's gonna help me. my dad is the one taking me ot the gym everynight now. wish me luck! and if you have any secrets to losing it a little faster, please tell me!

I lost about 45 pounds over last summer, and I have maintained it. I eat low-carbs, but healthy style. I swam a lot that summer...like 2-3 hours a day. I lived in my pool. Swimming, really swimming- not just floating, is great exercise try that. Also, if you get hungry, drink an entire glass of ice water before you think about eating anything else.

If he was really your friend, he'd be your boyfriend even if you are overweight.
