Ht. 5'8, Wt. 185 Goal : 160 - Does anyone have any really good diet tips that worked for them?? My moms side of the family is pretty obese. In fifth grade I weighed 225 pounds and was in womens clothing sizes. But since then I'm now in 8th grade and I weigh a better 185 pounds. I lost a total of 45 pounds in about 6 months on my diet I made up myself. I refuse to join weight watchers or any of those diets. I think I get better results without them. I eat healthy now no more junk food. For breakfest I eat cereal w/ some kind of fruit, then at lunch I'll have a sandwich or somethin like that and for dinner a salad. At night your metabalism slows down so I don't eat after 7p.m. I ride my bike almost everywhere, I do about 150 crunches a night along w/ 50 - 100 push ups. I now wear a 15 juniors and couldn't be happier. I just wanted to share my story of sucess:) But please comment if you have any other dieting tips that will help increase results. Thanks for listening to those of you who read this:) Plz comment back!

I saw that you said something negative about weight watchers, and that's okay. I'm a member now, and I'm going for my second time around. I don't know if you've tried it before, but it really does work. Ummm, the first time I did it, I only lost 6 pounds over a 4 month period. But that's because I wasn't serious enough about losing the weight. However, now, I started again about 4 months ago, and i've lost 22 pounds. The weight has been coming off gradually though, which is a good thing. So if you've never tried it before, I encourage you to do so. A lot of it comes from the support of the women at the meetings too. When we diet on our own, it's always hard to stay on track, but the support really does help.
