yall definately find a diet buddy...or friend in your area or neighborhood. My boyfriend and I started joint dieting 2 months ago. We are older than most of you, so it may be a little easier for us to work on it together, but it helps. Together, we weigh infront of each other each week, keep a chart and talk everyday about what we ate. When you buddyup with someone you trust, you are less likely to cheat and stick to it. Together we have lost 45 lbs!!! And counting. We were both always overweight in our teens and now that we are older and about to get married and have children, I don't want to have to tell my kids that I can't play with them cause I am too tired. I think it will all click when people realize that it is there health that they are putting at risk when they are not overweight rather than risking having a date to prom or not. What is more difficult, going years and years trying every fad diet adn pill or spending a good solid few months working really hard and being healthy for the rest of your life. Personally, I am/was tired of failing. THere is only one sure way to loose weight, and that is change of diet and EXERCISE!!! Good luck to all and do this now before you end up like me...wasting your teens and twenties not showing the world how great you feel on the inside by how you take care of yourself on the outside!!!
