From aimee, Age 13 - 09/28/08 - IP#: 65.175.213.xxx Click here to reply Ht. 5'5", Start: 184 lb, Today: 184 lb (BMI %tile: 98), Goal: 125 lb - hey everyone, i was just wondering a few things that have been on my mind. 1. i'm kinda embarssed to say this but, i weigh more than my mom. i don't mean just a few pounds, more like 20 ish pounds. its really odd for me. i was wondering if anyone eles was in the same boat, weighing more than one or both of your parents or your older siblings ? 2. i was also wondering if anyone is sad about their weight and how they look all the time. i mean all the time. like i'm sad about how i look and weight probably 70% of the time, but sometimes i like to just forget that i weight what i do, and look how i look, and just feel okay. does anyone eles feel that way? 3. i start high school next year, and i really want to be on the volley ball team, and there uniforms are wicked tight. i don't know why, but they are and i don't want to be embarssed, plus i want to go to high school feeling good about my self, cause i'm sure i'll have enough things to worry about, much less losing weight. i'm just stuck. i know i should do this and do that, but i just don't have any modavation, to exercise or eat better, plus trick or treat is only a month away, and i'm really nervous of putting on some pounds then. anyone eles feel this way?

But as time goes on, that changes. Just keep in mind, they didn't make rome in a day. So it will take some time. But with some help, you can do it.
Reply from Andrea, Age 17 - 09/29/08 - IP#: 76.31.208.xxx My mom weighs a little bit more than me now, but I used to be in the same boat you were in. My freshman year of high school the uniforms weren'd tight..they were like basketball uniforms, now they are tight, we wear black tights and a fairly tight uniform top. I lost 40 lbs the second semester of my freshman year, so if I can do it, you can do it!.. I have gained about ten lbs of it back, but I am losing again and hope to have it off by christmas and lose a few more pounds by prom and graduation. You take it one day at a time. You can start out with just eating a little less. It is always harder in the beginning, if you can get past the first week it becomes alot easier, just tell yourself, "I don't need that" AND make sure you allow yourself to indulge every now and then, but in MODERATIONS. My weakness is chocolate and french fries, I usually have a little bit of chocolate every day, and that keeps my cravings under control. My favorite snack is popcorn, there are 100 calorie bags and they fill you up and fulfill your salt craving, you can even have 2 bags...yuuuuum. GOOD LUCK!
