Hi Lucy, I am your age, and I have a big problem with being overweight. I am always picking at snacks and things. I have wanted to try to lose weight and go on a diet for a long time now, and I just can't seem to get up the courage to actually do something. Could you give me some advice please.
Sincerely,
Frankie

Ht. 5'6", Start: 221 lb, Today: 215 lb, Goal: 150 lb - so basically, i lost five pounds in three days. that'd be great, if i was doing it the right way. the past three days i've had one meal a day and no snacks. last night, i was so proud of myself. i had a sleepover with three of my best friends and as we were playing a board game, my mom brought out some punch, this AMAZING pepperoni bread, and a huge tray of chocolates and candy. now, usually i'd scarf down a huge helping of all of that, but i didn't take a thing.. it was hard! i was so proud of myself though.. and the friends that know about my diet, were proud of me too. the past three days i've had: 1. well three nights ago my best friend megan invited me to go out with my other best friend rachael, so we went to a really fattening mexican place. i figured since i hadn't eaten all day that it wouldn't matter what i got. so i got a chicken quesadilla with beans and cheese...

GREEEEAT. that added about 100 pounds to me. 2. yesterday i went out to dinner.. again, with my best friends sam, rachael, and megan. we went to rocknes. i got a chicken salad with light italian dressing and a water. i didn't finish the salad, so that's good. 3. today, since i had a sleepover, i made breakfast for everyone and we had french toast. not the best choice, but i'm sure i'll be okay. i had three pieces, which sucks. i regret it now, but if i don't eat for the rest of the day i'll be fine. i drank some skim milk with the toast. i know what i'm doing is wrong, but it seems to be working. woo!

Ht. 5'6", Start: 213 lb, Today: 221 lb, Goal: 135 lb - i've been overweight my whole life. things would be so much different if i wasn't. i've never had a boyfriend or anything even close to that. it's hard for me to talk to boys because i know that they're just interested in how girls look, it's high school. after a while it really hits me hard. my parents are concerned with my weight, and up until a couple days ago i wasn't too worried about it. yeah, i've tried numerous diets, but they never seem to work. i always say "oh, i'll start tomorrow" and i never do. but now, it's time to get serious. i want to feel better about myself. i want to look good in clothes, but i always find an excuse not to eat right and exercise. but i'm to the point where i need to. i don't have a choice, it's either now or never. if i don't start now, i'm never going to do it. there is snow outside, so until it melts, i'll just stick push ups,...

Ht. 5'0", Start: 155 lb, Today: 157 lb, Goal: 135 lb - Around the holidays I seem to gain a lot of weight. There are just too many temptations. Sweets, pop, anything junk food. I seem to get drawn to it like a fly to a light. I need to lose weight. It's really hurting my self esteem and it's hard to concentrate in school. I keep telling myself that I will start exercising more but it never happens. I just push it off until the next day and so on.

Ht. 4'7", Start: 139 lb, Today: 139 lb, Goal: 99 lb - I heven't always been overweight. But,when I was 6, my grandpa died (On Christmas) and the my mom met a guy, we moved to Indiana. And although I didn't show it, I became kind of depressed and just gave up.I didn't care anymore. Well, after a while, I began to really understand about God, I mean I had gone to Church my whole life, but never gotten it. I then realized that I shouldn't give up, because I'll see him again, and spend forever with him. But at this point, I was so used to snacking and not excercising, that it was hard to stop. So that's basically it. I'm just sick of not being able to keep up with my friends, coming in last when we run the mile, and not being able to wear all the "cool" clothes.

Ht. 5'8", Start: 198 lb, Today: 196 lb, Goal: 170 lb - Hi Everyone. My name is Heather. I'm just looking for support on this weight loss journey i'm going to take. 2005 i was at my highest weight which was 298. this summer i felt great and was at my lowest 175. but i've skyrocketed back up to 198. i'm sick of putting it off. it feels good to be in control and doing something about my weight trouble. much better than wallowing..which i've done plenty of. :) its time to visualize, and create the person who i want to be. i'm on a program called Six Week Body Makeover. this program works and is truly healthy. It garentees that you'll lose at least 30lbs in six weeks. Thats my goal, i know if i stick to the plan it will work. the longer i go with being healthy the easier it is. We can do this. Its not fun feeling down. i've been in that dark rut for about 2 weeks. its time to see the light and take control! happiness is our birthright. if anyone needs someone to talk to, or questions my email is happyhaw@msn.com
