From Maggie, Age 16 - 03/20/07 - IP#: 75.86.238.xxx Click here to reply Ht. 5'0", Start: 130 lb, Today: 130 lb, Goal: 120 lb - My mom made me cry yesterday. She said that I was overweight and that I needed to lose ten pounds, and then keep it off. I used to be 110 pounds at the beginning of freshman year (last year) but I just gained so much weight and I'm not sure why! I started the Special K diet yesterday, just to start off, but I have a feeling I am going to get off track after the two weeks. Yesterday was really bad, I ate a lot. Today I'm doing pretty well so far. I had 1 cup Special K with 1/2 cup skim milk, and a cup of skim milk (150 + 90) then for a snack I had a serving of Reduced Fat Wheat Thins (130) and a propel (25) I worked out today for 55 minutes. I walked 2.3 miles on the treadmill and did 20 minutes on the elliptical machine, burning -400 calories. I'm so hungry now though, but I want to wait until dinner!

Reply from molly, Age 13 - 03/20/07 - IP#: 64.12.116.xxx 130 is perfectly fine! If you want to loose weight, do it, but if it's for your mom- screw it. you have to want it to get it!
Reply from Kaylee, Age 14 - 03/20/07 - IP#: 66.82.9.xxx Your mom is right that 130 isn't a very healthy weight for you but she could have brought it up a different way. If you just started don't you dare give up on yourself already!! How will you ever be able to lose weight if you say the day you start that you don't think you will last the 2 weeks. I personally love special K but there was no way I could do the challange eating 2 bowls of cereal a day is crazy. There are better low calorie foods. You can do it so try!!
Reply from Dallis, Age 16 - 03/20/07 - IP#: 64.12.116.xxx Well, it sounds like you did really good. Just keep up the fantastic work. If you're happy the way you are, stay that way, don't do this for your mom. Do this for you! Good luck!!!
