Ht. 5'5?, Wt. 150 - Alright week. I hopped on the scale Wednesday and noticed I had lost a few more pounds. Since then I've been a bit obsessive, since I only have 5-10 left to lose. We haven't got a whole lot of walking in this week. I missed Sunday, Wednesday, and then last night I only got a mile in. That was good enough, considering we were under a severe thunderstorm watch and it was thundering while we were walking. I still can't seem to get all 1200 calories in per day. That's a goal for me, to try to up it some. I think that my weight loss some, so my goal is to add in more healthy fruits and veggies to maybe add in some more calories. Best of luck to the rest of you!

Ht. 5' 4", Wt. 172 - Okay so today so far I have only eaten the two peices of cake that I ate while sleep walking. In a way I feel hungry but at teh same time I feel like if I eat anything I will get huge and even if I don't get huge I don't want to not lose weight. I want to lose weight but it seems like lately all I have been doing is eating and gaining weight. My whole family is worried that I have an eating disorder (anerexia). I don't think that I do I just know that I am overweight and that I need to lose the weight for both health and self esteem issues. What should I do if I end up having a eating disorder...I have almost all of the early symptoms... I need help, like a self esteem boost would be nice... I just need help

Ht. 5'5, Wt. Too much - Set alarm to wake up at 10:00 AM so I do not have sleeping problems all summer. Shower. Eat two egg whites and a banana, grapefruit, apple or a couple strawberries. Go for a 1.5-mile walk around my hilly neighborhood with my dog. Snack will be some more fruit or a serving of Triscuits® and organic string cheese. Then I will spend the afternoon reading, playing or whatever, doing summer homework for my college classes, etc. This summer I am going to start preparing more meals for my family and they will all be vegetarian dishes that are very balanced (and totaling 1200 calories for the day). After dinner, I am going to digest for a while and then go work out again. At that time I will do my usual 30 minutes on a heavily inclined treadmill, 100+ bicep curls with 20 lbs, 100+ squats, 100+ crunches. I will be ... (view more)Ht. 5'5, Wt.

I will be adding Taebo for about 20 minutes also and during my treadmill time, I am going to try running for as long as I can before I need to walk again. I have a number of reasons why I wish to lose weight, primarily health. I started out at 5’4 205 and now I am 5’5 180. My goal by the end of the summer is to be about 155 if that is possible. I am most likely going to increase the rigor of my workout later on, but we’ll see. My motivation is new school clothes and my crush who is a friend of mine. I want to surprise him on the first day of school. I am also getting my braces off, cutting my hair 10 inches later in the year for Locks of Love, and I will be 16! Yay!! It’s making it easier for me to keep going with this. Sorry this was so long, but what do you all think? (view less)

Ht. 5'7, Wt. 180 - Hey everyone! First of all, I wanted to thank everyone who replied to my post. Alexis, I will most definitely email you. It's good to know someone is going through a very similar situation! Anyways, So far so good. Today I had special k for breakfast, a lean cuisine meal for lunch, and a salad for dinner. 5 glasses of water total. I worked out alot today, crunches,pushups,weights. Then tonight, I got in a huge fight with my mother. I always go for the sweets when i'm upset. Well tonight i decided instead of getting out the cookies, i'd go for a run. So i did just that and i ran 2 and a half miles. I feel great and I really feel like this might be the summer I get fit for real. Good luck to all of you, and I hope you are all doing fantastic!! Love you guys, Delilah

Ht. 5'3, Wt. C:130?? G:120 - Does anyone know anything about how good or BAD diet sodas are for you?? It seems like everyone trying to lose weight that I know or just trying not to gain weight is drinking tons of diet soda. I persanaly can only have it once every week because it bloats me to where I look like a pumpkin. Plus I'm not to much for the taste. I never was a huge soda person incept for when I would visit my dad. I'm only asking this because I'm going camping this weekend with my dad and he asked what type soda I wanted. I told him water for me and my friend likes Sprite or Diet Pepsi. He asked what I would drink and I said Diet Pepsi but I don't want any. So I probably will only drink it if he didn't get water. But I am bringing water for myself anyways. I also said cereal for breakfast and apples for snacks. I plan on only eating half of his bbQ steak. Any other advice for a unawhere dad and camping with a skinny friend that can eat anything??

Ht. 5'0'', Wt. 150 - I just found this great sight that tells you how many lesss calories to eat to lose weight, including how much you burn exercising: How many calories do people need to eat?
That’s the million-dollar question, isn’t it? You’re going to hate me when I say that it depends. There are three factors involved:Your weight loss goals, your Basal Metabolic Rate (the number of calories your body burns via normal, everyday functions), and how much exercise you get. First, calculate your BMR. Next, consider how much activity you get. Add the calories you burn through activity and exercise for one day to your BMR. This is your baseline for daily calorie needs. To lose 1 pound per week (if that’s your goal), you’d simply eat 500 calories less than this number each day. Whatever your baseline is, more than...

To lose 1 pound per week (if that’s your goal), you’d simply eat 500 calories less than this number each day. Whatever your baseline is, more than 1,000 calories per day below that (resulting in 2 pounds lost per week) is not a good idea. Your body needs enough nutrition and energy to deal with whatever exercise level you choose. At bare minimum, no matter what, I strongly urge people to not drop below 1,200 calories daily. Any lower than that and starvation mode - or worse - will almost always kick in.
---- So to lose 1 lb a week for me, I have to eat 1082 calories a day. To lose 2lbs, 582...although I didn't factor in about how much a I burn each day, so add 300 to both those numbers. Everyones starvation mode is different based on age, height, weight, etc. The BMR calculator sight is : http://sparkpeople.com/resource/nutrition_articles.asp?id=387
