Ht. 5'3", Start: 163 lb, Today: 163 lb, Goal: 120 lb - How much do you think is possible to lose by about August? Also, has anyone been on Weight Watchers before? My mom was thinking about us starting that up together to lose weight, cuz I want to get down to atleast 120 for my Sweet 16 next May. Also, does anyone know how well DDR works and how long you have to do it each day? And des anyone know any good websites with workouts, or any good workouts period? And has anyone done Curves before? Does it work well? I'm only asking alot of question cuz I seriously want to get down from a size 12/14 to like a six if possible by August. I was able to go froma 16/18 to a 10 in about two months, but I was just curious about others. Also how much is possible within about a month or so? Long story short : Might be seeing my long distance boyfriend then and I want to look good. Please let me know if you can answer any of these. I'm seriusly desperate and I'm trying not to crash diet =//

Hey, good luck with your goal i am sure you can do it! Weight watchers is awsome i realy love it, the only thing is you can get into the mind set that unhealthy foods are ok as long as you have enough points saved up...but really its only an ok treat. Basically weight wtachers is just an easier way of counting calories (about 50 cal per point and ortion control, which is good, but the support system is great! DDR is great for weight loss! Try doing it for about 30 min then work your way up to an hour or whatever you have time/energy for. I have a membership at curves and i love it. Some people say its a place for out of shape, non athletic people but really its for anyone. Its nice becasue it only takes 30 minutes, its fairly easy (just 30 second sprints on the machines) and results are great. As you get stronger you push yourself harder and in result the hyrolics of the machine will be harder, so no matter what stage you are at in your life it gives you the most efective work out. Good luck in trying these new things I am sure if you put your mind to it, they will work for you!

I have tried and currently do weight watchers. I think it is a good program. I was 5/10 164 two months ago and now i'm 144. I have stuck with it. If to follow the program closly you will lose the weight.
