Hey everyone! Thanks for the great success stories and encouragement! It means alot to me! I am 24 and 5'5". I weigh in at 160 pounds. I know that isnt huge or anything, but my weight is effecting everything I feel and do! I have tried numerous times "fad dieting" and I will lose like 5 or 10 pounds and then I gain twice that back! I want nothing more but to be comfortable in my own skin. I know what I have to do. EAT RIGHT AND EXERSIZE. It makes me feel better, and look better. There is no quick fix when it comes to your body and emotions. You want to feel and look better you have to work at it! Thank you for all your inspirational stories!

Hey I have lost weight by exercising regularly(gym,dog walking and bike riding).
And also cutting out the junk which is hard.
so far I have only lost around 5 pounds but I am really chuffed with myself.

Hey! I lost 20lbs so far. I eat every 3-4 hrs. I never skip breakfast. For breakfast, lunch and supper I eat 1-2 servings of fruit/veggies, 1 lean protein source, 1-2 breads, and a glass of milk. For snacks, fruit is great but better if combined with some protein like yogurt b/c it keeps me full, and the fruit is good b/c it has carbohydrates which your brain needs and since it raises your blood sugar you won't feel hungry anymore. I also am very active. Not just doing exersize once a day, but being active all day long is very important. If you're watching tv, do jumping jacks or lift weights during commercials. If you're going somewhere, bike there instead of driving. If you are going to eat sweets, it's better to eat your meal first, then wait about 15 minutes, then have a small peice of something b/c you won't be hungry.

It took me only about 1.5 months to lose 20lbs. And the way I eat I have a lot of energy all day so I feel like being active. Even when I'm with friends, instead of staying in, I always suggest we go somewhere biking or rollerblading, or play soccer or basketball outside. I also just got a guitar which takes my mind off food. I hope this helps and good luck everyone! (view less)

This isn't a weight loss story but I had this pair of hollister jeans that were too tight when I bought them. So, I hung them up in my closet and tried them on every couple of weeks. Each time I tried them on they would fit better but still didn't feel or look good enough. Today I tried them on and they fit perfectly! Even though my scale says I have only lost about 5 pounds I still have lost fat and have been getting lots of compliments. All I did was eat really healthy(like nutri-grain bars and skim milk) with very rare treats, which isn't that hard if you get rid of all the deserts in your house and only have desrts when you go out, not at school. I also tried to get cardio excercise 5-6 days a week. Be sure to look at food lables too. Just because it says it's low-fat doesn't mean it's not full of sugar. Good luck to everyone and hope this helps!

I have recently lost about 35 pounds, I would say in about a month and a half ( maybe two months) I still would like to lose about 10-20 pounds then I will be very happy but it is getting there! I weighed about 175 pounds and was 5'7". Now I weight 150 and am the same height. The way I lost it didn't necessarily start out good though. When I started eating too much I would feel sick. Then, about the next day even if I ate very little I still wouldn't feel very good. So for the next month I kept eating very little. I know it is a very unhealthy way to lose weight! When I didn't eat as much I would lose weight and feel happier. When I started not eating as much I did feel better, I don't eat healthy really though and still need to work on my daily diet. I realized how much moderation in foods does count. I also started not thinking about eating, therefor I would not take up my time eating ...

I realized how much moderation in foods does count. I also started not thinking about eating, therefor I would not take up my time eating to make myself feel better because it will just lead to yourself feeling worse in the end by you probably gaining weight! I found other things to occupy my mind, to do, to think about and such that made me feel better without a bad reaction happening in the future. I didn't really exercise though, because of my condition and it would make me very sick. Or else I might of atleast a little. I found out that finding new ways to think about it, and not eating because I am sad and doing something else instead made it better. Hopefully some people can try and find something to do instead, that one thing can really do alot! (view less)

Ht. 5'5, Wt. 135 - Hey guys...well i'm here because i want to tell yall how i lost 80 pounds.First off i changed my eating habits because you have to be realistic...are you going to eat tofu and plain baked potaoes all your life? probably not so let me tell you my secret!I ate pretty much everything i ate before i decided to change my life, except sweets but i didnt cut them out completley. If i wanted a candy bar i had one but that was few and far between, i learned to never deprive myself because it only made me want it more. so if i wanted a hamburger i had me a hamburger but only 1. it's all about moderation you can have just about anything in moderation. i cut back and dranks tons of water and diet tea. At first i excersised everyday for at least 30 minutes a day(everyone has 30 mins) billy blanks, richard simmons, walking,and of course DDR thats awesome because you can actually...

At first i excersised everyday for at least 30 minutes a day(everyone has 30 mins) billy blanks, richard simmons, walking,and of course DDR thats awesome because you can actually have a little fun and forget your excersisng! Once a week i would weigh but no more than that(remember you didnt gain it over night so you wont lose it overnight)then i would eat ONE thing that i truley wanted whether it was a candy bar or a couple of tacos,but remember dont go overbored and dont fall off your diet! Anyways i lost the weight by doind what i just told you and i wasnt in agony and miserable because i didnt feel deprived. Whatever you do dont do the grainbars and apples and tofu "diet"unless you really like it becaue you have to be realistic and ask yourself...am i going to eat this way for the rest of my life? we like REAL FOOD!! anyways i have kept it off for a year now...i still exercise but only 3 times a week...and i have found that my stomach can only handle that one hamburger , not 2 ham and fries like it use to..i still weight once a week and if i gain 3 pounds then i immediatley up my excercise and cut back and then the next week i'm fine again and this is how i have maitained. hang in there the wieght will come off and with every pound you will have more and mope confidence and that will give you the desire to follow threw. One more thing i did was i would get one outfit(that didnt fit me) and hang it in my closet and when i was a size 20(yes i said 20 ladies) i would get a size 18 and every month i would try it on till it would fit me then a size 16...until eventually it was a size 7! just remember you can do this and you truley dont have to be miserable doing it...i'm living proof. i hope my story helped some of yall and if you have any questions just ask! GOOD LUCK (view less)
