Ht. 5'1", Start: 200 lb, Today: 200 lb (BMI %tile: 98), Goal: 200 lb - Alright, so I'm not actually 200 pounds. But the website owners might want to listen to what I have to say before deleting this. I came upon this website, and am seeing all of these people who are trying very hard to lose weight. I'd really like to help, and if you would like to hear my advice, than you can continue to read this.
Losing weight can be difficult at times. It's the honest truth. Sometimes, that ice cream sandwich looks too tasty, or that piece of cake tastes too good. Of course, these products are alive because of their charming abilities to tantalize our taste buds.
Here are some tips to help you lose weight:
-Get rid of all unhealthy food in your house. If your weight situation is getting this out of control, it's a step you and your family should be willing to take to help you out.

Why?- Simple: Just looking or smelling a food can lead you towards it, and it can be very painful to walk away.
Choose- Vegetables, Fruits as snacks, limit your meals to a healthy amount for you.
Most important rule:
DO NOT SKIP MEALS
Yes, I know eating breakfast lunch and dinner may make you feel like you're eating too much, and some of you may feel proud when you skip meals, seeing as you THINK you are losing weight.
The reality?
Nope. The first few weeks of eating very small portions and skipping one or more meals a day you will lose a few pounds of water weight. But the truth is, eating less slows your metabolism down. This makes you burn less and less calories, to the point where you are again gaining weight. Losing it from there will just be harder.
So,check with your doctor, or from a reliable source online to find out how many calories you should be eating every day. And only one or two small items of junk food a week will help ou mantain nutrition.
So here's the bummer for some of you. In order to lose a sufficient amount of weight, stay healthy and avoid health problems like diabetes and high blood pressure, you are going to need to excersize. But there are TONS of ways to do it. My advice? Seventeen Magazine has tons of subtle exercize tips AND healthy eating. Also, once a day, pick two jumpy songs on your ipod, and just dance, have fun! And guess what? You've just done eight minutes of excersize!
For your abs, i reccomend starting with 50 half-crunches a day. They did this routine in a gymnastics I once went to. After you feel totally comfortable with this, you can accelerate to 100.
Always find time for excersize.
Well, I really hope this helped. (view less)

Ht. 5'5", Start: 181 lb, Today: 154.4 lb (BMI %tile: 84), Goal: 125 lb - Hello.
So I'm at my all time low and it was NOT easy getting here! But over winter break when I got down from 168 back into the 150s it was rather easy. But now its getting tougher to get into the 140s!!!!! :( Even if I do cardio and some strength training I seem to only lose around two ounces. I don't know. Maybe I shouldn't let this effect me? Afterall I have till July to lose this weight. :)
One more question; Can anyone give me healthy food recipes or snacks. I'm going shopping for food sometime this week and would love any advices!!! So PLEASE DO SHARE!! My friend likes tuna mixed in some mayo with salad and swears she lost weight from doing this. Anyhow, please do share!!!!! :)

Ht. 5'6.5", Start: 145 lb, Today: 155 lb (BMI %tile: 86), Goal: 130 lb - I honestly do not know if I am overweight. when I ask someone, I feel like they lie to me and say no. I am too embarrassed to ask my doctor, and I dont want to ask my doctor how to lose weight. It seems like she will lecture me and say that this is a critical time in my growing stage, but I really want to loose weight for the summer time! any ideas?

Ht. 5'10", Start: 175 lb, Today: 160 lb (BMI %tile: 77), Goal: 140 lb - I feel so disgusted with myself. This summer i lost twenty pounds and my laugh changed a lot because I had a lot more self esteem, and I didnt feel like the ugly best friend out of the group, and i had an amazing boyfriend. But then i started noticing him notice my best friend, and he admitted he had feelings for her, and we broke up since then i have gained 5 pounds and im trying to get back on track. I know this sounds horrible but sometimes i hate having such a pretty skinny best friend. :(

Ht. 5'5", Start: 181 lb, Today: 155.8 lb (BMI %tile: 85), Goal: 125 lb - HEY!
So I'm down 2 pounds! :) Wow I swear I was on a plateau where I was stuck in the 160s for almost 2 months. But now I lost over 10 pounds! I'm so happy I'm at my lowest being 155.8 pounds :) I'm hoping to get down to 149 by February 14th as my VALENTINES CHALLENGE :)
So today I'm determined to start my cardio and strength training. I'm planning to do 1 hour on the treadmill. And tomorrow I'll start my strength training for about 20 minutes. I'm hoping to workout 4 days out of the week. :)
I saw two of my friends on campus today over a month (winter break). And they told me I look so much smaller than I did before and that really made me want to take this weight loss to the next level. I'm hoping I will get down 7 pounds before valentines. If I don't I'll still be glad I lost weight.
Cheers everyone! And don't give up!
