Ht. 5'6", Wt. 180 - Hey everyone. I was just kinda wonderin the web and found this website. I thought I'd give it a try. Well Im 16, and Ive been over weight all my life. Im pretty much to the point where I want to starve myself and forget what they say about slowing your metabolism. I just hate the feeling when your with all your size 5 friends and all you can think about is Gosh, why can't I be like them. Well, I was blessed with Hips, thighs and yeah you guessed it, the gut. 180 Pounds is not the weight a sophmore like me wants to weigh. I have been watching what I eat for awhile now, I have a bowl of cereal for breakfast, the schools salad bar for lunch, a small snack after school, and usually about 400 calories for dinner. What am I doing wrong? I can't lose a tiny pound! I've gone to the doctor and he told me to stop drinking pop. I havnt had a pop since 7th grade. What Im asking for is some MAJOR advice and some free will power (lol. Next year is prom and if its going to to anything like I imagine it, I must lose weight, even 20 is good enough for me. Please, Im begging you people, Help me!
