I used to come onto this board often, around November, to get tips on how to lose weight and exercise. I got a lot of great information but I always seemed to be on the computer and I never really dedicated myself to the whole diet/exercise experience. In January, I really started to become serious about losing weight. I wasn't that overweight (5'4 136) but I had low self esteem and I always felt like all the new fashion trends didn't look right on me because of my weight. This time, I was serious about my diet. I tried 2 diets from December til June. Atkins and Raw Food Diet. Within the first two weeks of Atkins, I lost around 8 pounds. I was so happy with myself. The next 3 weeks I lost about 5 pounds total. And for weeks after that, I didn't lose anymore weight. I had hit my weight loss plateu.

The next 3 weeks I lost about 5 pounds total. And for weeks after that, I didn't lose anymore weight. I had hit my weight loss plateu. I was watching a special on VH1 and I saw something about a lot of celebs going on the raw food diet. I quickly got online and researched it. I decided to give it a try. It's really strict and based on consuming unprocessed, preferably organic, whole-plant based foods. At first, it had some detoxification effects...but that was the only side effect for me. In two weeks I had lost 11 pounds. After that I was only losing about 2-3 pounds a week. I put all my dedication into this diet, and I never cheated. I rode my exercise bike for a half hour in the morning (which burned around 375 calories) and an hour at night (which burned anywhere from 600 to 750, depending on the tension level) As of today, I weigh 110 pounds. I think for my bone structure that I am the perfect size. I wear a size 3 and I love it. Sorry this is so long but I really wanted to get my story across. If you are really serious about losing weight then you can do it. Don't make lame excuses either. Research diets online or at your library and find one that you think will work for you. Exercise also plays a big key factor in losing weight. Good luck!!! (view less)

hi heather, i couldn't reply back so im posting a responce. atkins realy is not bad for you. just take the time to read the whole book and it has a lot of good and information that makes sense. stop falling into all of these rumors on the news, magazines, etc.....it does a lot of good things for your health like lowering your cholesteral (spelling) and triglicerides ( spelling) so make sure to research the facts before making an acusation. i did atkins and it worked really well for me, not just the weight loss but health wise i felt a lot better. atkins IS good

I have just a short post. Alot of people here think that to see a difference in their body they need to lose 30,40 even 60-70 lbs, and then get discouraged when they hear that eating healthy and exercising will only help them lose 1-2 lbs a week. But listen, after losing 5 lbs you will see a difference,after 10 a very noticable and then when you lose 20 lbs you will see a HUGE and dramatic differnece. Just thoguht I'd give some people some hope that maybe are going on vacation soon and think they need to lose 50 lbs to see a difference, work on 10-20 and you'll be really happy with the results, it just might look like how u think losing 50 lbs would look like! thanks...

Omg guys, I just watched true life on mtv and it was about obese people and it is really sad and now I am upset w/ myself for thinking that I am fat. I am overweight and I use to be obese and I am so happy that I am not now, but on the episode it had a plus size model that has this super cute boyfriend that doesn't think size matters (it doesn't!!!) and the girl gets into this modeling job to show the world that obese ppl are hot too! and then they have this 17 year old that is graduating and he is so depressed and he moved to this town so people wouldn't make fun of him and then, he goes out and walks his dog and there is a group of people and they start picking on him and there is this other morbidly obese 27 year old and she gets a gastric bypass, but before that she went into a restaurant and one person goes man she is a big girl! That is terrible, I mean I think things about people,...

That is terrible, I mean I think things about people, but even if they were 1000 pounds I would not say anything that mean!!!! Omg I would cry to myself all the time if people were that mean, so when your sitting around thinking you are really fat, think about people who can't walk or take a shower b/c they are so big. I am really depressed about the whole show, and maybe some of you watched it and if you did write your comments about it. (view less)

Hi,I came to this site about 2 years ago when i was overweight but I didn't do anything because i started to get taller and sort of "thin out" but lately i've been noticing i don't feel healthy like i did before and i just found out i've put on about 20kg's since i last weighed myself a year ago,I know, scary isnt it!So i'm really serious about losing weight since its now or never, obviously I do have a few goals to motivate me, girls(lol) and acceptance by peers etc..Anyway, waht I wanted to ask was if I set a certin limit of calories per day, and just ate that amount would that make me lose weight? I'm a total newbie to putting together a weight loss plan but say if i set a target of like maybe 1200 calories and just ate that and excercized, drank heaps of water etc, would that guarantee weight loss or do i have to worry about other things than calories, carbs and fats n stuffAnyway, thanks for listening to me and I see this board is alot like it was 2 years ago, lots of teens helping eachother reach for the same goal.Thanx!
