Ht. 5'6", Start: 160 lb, Today: 165 lb, Goal: 155 lb - I need som help with my eating habits. Well, not so much help, but suggestions. I'm in college and im doin summer school right now so i get up around 8 or 9 and hve one of those carnation breakfast drinks cuz i usually not have much time to eat. After class, i go straight to work and really dont have time to et anything healthy. I might eat a pack of crackers or something while in class but thats about it. When im at work, i usually have a snack about an hour or so before i get off so i can work out without my blood sugar dropping (im a diabetic). By the time im done working out, its about 7:30 or so and im the type of person who cant eat that late because thats where most of my weight comes from. What can i do about my eating schedule? Also, have you guys found that setting a certain date to be at your goal weight easy to follow rather than just having the weight be off by whenever? I'm...

Also, have you guys found that setting a certain date to be at your goal weight easy to follow rather than just having the weight be off by whenever? I'm the type of person that needs to be told what to do and i'll follow it...such as what foods to eat and what exercises to do...as long as they get me to where i need to be rather than just doing trial and error myself. I dont know why im like that...just am. But yeah, all comments are welcome. Thanks (view less)

Ht. 5'4", Start: 214 lb, Today: 192 lb, Goal: 175 lb - do you guys think i can reach my goal weight by august?
i've been on the weight watchers diet and walking a mile everyday. also, we have some weight lifting machines that i have been using. i am hoping to look good when school starts. i am going to be a senior this year and i want people to see me differently. i want them to think i look hott and also i have senior prom, then senior trip at the end of the year. i dont want to go to the beach with all my friends and be the only one who cant wear a bikini or the only one who a guy cant pick her up to play chicken.
i've never even had a boyfriend and im tired of it. no guys like me just because of my weight is what i think. i know its not true and i shouldnt let it bother me, but it does. really bad.
im a very picky eater and dont have many good choices to chose from. does anyone have any suggestions of foods and exercises i can do?
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE HELP!!!!

Ht. 5'4", Start: 210 lb, Today: 176 lb, Goal: 140 lb - Ok so today my whole body is sore!! but I don't mind. I know this is the good sore...the sore that tells me something must be working! since I've been working out all week. Today I decided to relax. Also got my *thing* today..so really wasn't in the mood. I ended up relaxing too much...and ate like 2 cups of ice cream!!:( but I'm thinking that Wednesday will be my off day. I still feel guilty about the ice cream but I dont know. It was so tempting and getting my thing just kicked my apetite into overdrive, you know. Will get back in routine tomorrow! won't let my *thing* ruin stuff for me lol. Hope you all are doing good!

Ht. 6'0", Start: 226 lb, Today: 199 lb, Goal: 165 lb - Today was not good. I repeat; awful. I was in my calorie range by eating: bowl of cereal and a bannana for breakfast, tomatoe soup and a wheat pita for lunch, salami and mozz sandwhich with cottage cheese. Then I had to be a fat ass and eat two brownies and some icecream. Grr...I pretty much hate myself right now. What's worse is that I didn't workout today because we had tornado warnings. I don't know why I caved. I estimate that I ate about 2100 calories today because the brownies were each 230 and I was around 1200 before the junk binge...so maybe smaller but 2100 to be safe. Yeah, I don't know if its tired or what it is. I've been awake for the past 36 hours straight so perhaps its a tired thing/self sabbotage to spike blood sugar and feel awake? I don't know but I do know that to pay for this, tomorrow I'm eating 800 calories.

Ht. 5'3", Start: 362 lb, Today: 384 lb, Goal: 120 lb - Okay, so everyone who read my last post and gave advice thanks. Just so you know, I've tried to get her to change her eating habits slightly and I've talked to my mom, but Jessie won't budgeon that. I didn't think it was possible, but I can tell now that she is noticibly eating much more than she usually does. And here's the kicker... she went to the doctor yesterday, and she's up 22 pounds from her last weigh in, which was a little less than three months ago. And the doctor talked to my mom about her weight, but I think it just went in one ear and out the other, seeing as afterwards we went to McDonald's and Jessie ate a ridiculous amount. And the docotrs visit was such an ordeal. Just walking into the building had Jessica panting like a dog, and red in the face. She is so UNBELIEVEABLY out of shape. And she definitely turned some heads out in public. You can't ignore someone that big. ... (view more)Okay, so everyone who read my last post and gave advice thanks.

And she definitely turned some heads out in public. You can't ignore someone that big. I feel so bad. I'll continue trying to work something out, but right now it feels like Jessica will most definitely reach 400 before I can do anything. Since she's eating a lot, even for her, and she's having more and more trouble moving I feel indefinitely those last 18 pounds will just pile on, mayb within the next months or two. I just hope that she'll still be able to walk. I'm trying to prepare myself for her reaching 400 pounds, but if she can't walk it will just tear me apart. And I know her weight has already taken world's biggest toll on her. She lost her last few friends this year, because she's not much fun to have aroun really. She's to big to play games, and even walking around a mall or shopping center has been out of the question for awhile. My mom is going to homeschool her this coming year, because her last school year was so terribly difficult. I pray that maybe I can help her. But all that seems to be happening, despite my effort, is Jessica getting fatter and fatter and fatter. I don't think there is anything I can do to stop it... (view less)

Ht. 5'5", Start: 184 lb, Today: 178 lb, Goal: 150 lb - Hey guys. Today wasn't as good as yesterday becuase I had lots of stuff to do and didn't get to exercise, but my eating wasn't too bad...sort of. Though it wasn't great. =/ Breakfast: 1 low-fat/whole-grain 100 calorie banana nut muffin (what a mouthful, lol--get it?), 1 cup skim milk. Lunch: 1 cup pasta with marinara sauce and 4 small meatballs, water. Snack: mini bottle of Coke Zero. Dinner: baked chicken, 1 cup macaroni salad w/o mayo (kinda bad I know), cucumbers, sugar-free lemonade. Dessert: Jello with Cool Whip Free. Nutritionally I know it sucked but calorie-wise I don't think it was too awful. Still, I'll do better tom and I will def. go on my bike. In other news, I'm volunteering at a summer camp in July and today I went to my instructor orientation from 2-4
and jewelry class from 6:15-8:30 so I had no time to work out but the orientation was a one-shot deal so whatever. Hope you guys are doing well, and I'm going to work extra hard because I want to look good for the cute guys who work there. ;) Jk.
