I am 5'4" and 210 pounds. I have been gaining weight since I was 13, but I've always been a little overweight. I just don't know how to follow through with healthy eating and exercise habits. Every time I start trying to lose weight I can't make myself keep going. Any similar situations or motivation tips?

One by one you will make your body healthier, don't try to be healthy (eating and exercising) all at once, it will fail because mentally, you can't take such a big change. It takes 21 days to form a habit, so make sure it's a good habit, and you should be set. Good luck!

Reply from Gummy, Age 17 - 07/14/02 - IP#: 64.12.96.xxx I know how u feel. When I was 16, I weighed 226 and wore a size 18/20. Now I am about 145-150 and I wear a size 11/12/13. What I did was eat whatever I wanted, just limited my portions and that worked for me.
