From taylor, Age 13 - 05/12/10 - IP#: 71.167.126.xxx Click here to reply Ht. 5'2", Start: 186 lb, Today: 186 lb (BMI %tile: 98), Goal: 150 lb - because of me walking to school each day it makes me late. the reason why is because im to slow to get to school on time. and it takes me 30 to 45 mintues to get from 135 to 114 and i think thats bad because i walk to school everyday. and when i come from lunch it takes me for ever to get up the steps to make it on time for my next class. and im sick and tried of my weight cause its not allowing me to do the things i want to do . like i want to be on the volleyball team or be a cheerleader something. but i cant cause of my weight . no boys want to talk to me because of my weight. and i want to be popular but i cant because i dont have the look. so im just saying that i need to change and be in fit for my age and never to look out of the picture because im so big and short

Reply from Amy, Age 29 - 05/13/10 - IP#: 98.247.253.xxx Congratulations Taylor! You have taken the first step towards losing weight. I recommend buying a journal or a notebook and writing out a covenant on the first page. Write down why you want to lose weight and how you plan to do it. It's important to have realistic goals so you don't get too frustrated or lose motivation in the process. The covenant serves as something that YOU wrote that you can always go back to to remind yourself of why you are doing this. I also recommend using the journal to write down everything you eat throughout the day. Note the time, how you were feeling, why you chose the food you did, how how much you ate. Note also how you feel (physically and emotionally) afterward. Finally, write down any physical activity you do. And yes, stairs and walking to/fro school counts! It's fantastic that you already do that because you will have something to compare to in a few weeks once you've begun watching your food intake. Do your parents know about your goals? They are crucial supporters for you because most likely, they buy the food you eat. Let them in and you might be surprised at how supportive your family can be. Good luck!
