From Isabella, Age 16 - 02/11/10 - IP#: 71.55.37.xxx Click here to reply Ht. 5'4", Start: 200 lb, Today: 200 lb (BMI %tile: 98), Goal: 150 lb - Hey. Im Isabella. Im new. I am 5 4 and 200 pounds. Im 16 years old. Im a huge emotional eater, and I really need to lose weight. I want to lose 50 pounds. I dont have a time limit, I just want to lose it eventually. Although I am going to L.A. this summer, so it would be nice to close to that weight for that. :) One of the hardest things about losing weight for me is the fact that I live in the middle of no where, so that means no gym, and I have an extra class in place of my lunch at school, so I usually grab something from our vending machines..... very unhealthy, so that presents a daunting task. I really need support to do this! (PS: Goal 1: 195 by March 1)
Reply from emma, Age 14 - 02/13/10 - IP#: 208.58.197.xxx hi isabella. i have some tips. 1. as an emotional eater, i know what you're going thru! try focusing your emotion on something else--art, or even better, exercise! 2. for lunch, bring stuff in ziplocs, like carrots, pita, fruit, healthy crackers, etc. 3. for the vending machines, if you HAVE to buy something, buy the healthiest option--e.g. baked chips, crackers w/ peanut butter, etc. i hope i helped!
