I don't need the food. It's not like the extra junk food is makeing me feel any better after getting over mono but it's like I feel like I can't stop. I need to get back on track and start loseing weight again. I can't gain everything back that I have lost. I need to get down to my goal of 135 and my ultimate goal of 125. I mean I know I'm not way over weight. I haven't ever been more than 20 pounds over weight and I know a lot of you have a lot more problems because of weight than I do but I just don't feel good with all this extra weigh I put on. I used to love running and now it's becoming work. I really need some tips in getting 10 pounds off by june 7th. I'm just not myslef latly and I feel like it's because I was 125 and worked hard to be there and then I just let myself go and got up to 158. Thats a lot of weight for 5 months. I mean it could have been worse but for my height thats bad. Now I've lost some...gained it back...lost a little gained it back. lost a lot (down to 139) and now I'm steddy in gaining it back. It used to be only food that was my problem. Over eating all the time but now that I just got over being sick I'm way lazy. I mean I do have the energy to do things it's just I was waited on hand and food for 2 weeks and after that I turned into a lazy slob!! I need something to get me going on the right track!!
Reply from molly, Age 13 - 03/29/07 - IP#: 205.188.117.xxx i have till june 2nd to lose 10 lbs. because we are going to florida. Just concentrate on 1 pound a week. Don't think "I have to lose 10 lbs.", think "I have to lose 1 pound this week" It will make it a lot easier!
Reply from Alyssia, Age 17 - 03/29/07 - IP#: 165.139.169.xxx Just keep all of the hard work you've put into your weight loss in mind. Everytime you wanted to quit but didn't, how good it felt to get down another pound or two, and how good you felt overall. You can do this, I know you can. It might be hard to get back on track, but you have to force yourself back into this. It's gonna be hard at first, but if you are mentally strong, you won't let yourself quit. Don't let yourself and everyone down on here. Just get out and walk. Remember, we all believe in you. Good luck!
