Hey All,I gotta confess, I haven't done as well as I know I can because I've lost my motivation a bit (just seems like being thin will never come to me, and seeing all the Thanksgiving food you're not allowed didn't help any lol). I need just a little boost... do you all have any motivational things you do to help you keep going, even when you're tempted to cheat or when in a weight loss plateau? Thanx to all who answer -Veronica

I like to examine the situation myself. Say you aren't doing that well and you're thinking "oh i dont want to exercise today" or "oh i want to eat this and that" well i think of what will happen. Yes i can take the easy way out and stop excercising but where will that get me? No where. Sure you'll feel good after eating a peice of cake because it tastes good, but really all it is is slowing you down and ruining your life. Now say I decide "im going to keep exercising and eating healthy, screw the cake" well i know that eventually i will look better, feel better, and others will KNOW that too and it will show. If you can improve the way you feel and look, almost everything in your life will improve. Thats what keeps me going. It may take time but if you just sacrifice for a year or two, or however long it takes you to drop the weight, the REST OF YOUR LIFE will feel better. Working hard for a short time in your life to improve the next 70 years or so? yeah i can deal with that for sure!

hey gurl, i know exactly what you mean! Sometimes i go into the kitchen and start to get something to eat, but then i relize that i'm not even hungry. Sadly, i have no will power so most of the time i still eat it even though i regret it later (everytime). It's really frustrating, but lately i've been getting better at this thing, if you go into the kitchen, think am i hungry, and if you really truly are, then eat somethin small and healthy, but if your not, get some water, im tellin ya it really helps. so n e ways just give it a shot, you might not like it at first but in the long run you'll be happy that you did....plus it gets easier once it becomes a habbit.

I know how you feel. I weigh 314lbs and I want to loose weight so bad. I think we can help eachother because we both are in the same boat. I have been overweight my whole life and have always been teased. One time these guys threw some trash at me from a car and called me a fatty in front of my friends. That is one of the many embaressing stories I have. I dislike school because I can barley fit in the chairs and the movies. I hate going out because I get tired of standing for even a short while. My friends get all the attention from guys and it makes me fell like nobody. I would love for us to email eachother for support. Let me know hrs420@yahoo.com I hope we both loose weight in a healthy way. I want to say good luck but in weight loss it is not luck but hard work and I know we have it in us to do it. Your parents will see that you are tring and if not you are doing this to help yourself anyways. E-mail me and let me know how you are doing.

There is nothing to "figure out" you just burn more calories then you consume- so either eat less, exercise more or do both! (it's that simple it's all about having control over your actions)

i am not trying to be harsh here but when are parents were growing up 1 out of 30 kids would be maybe a little overweight no it seems that almost every other kid is over weight,love handles, rolls, man boobs, double chins. That is pathetic. it is because they spend countless hours on the computer or watching tv and eating. kids used to ride bikes everywhere, play active games, and be active, run around outside. here's one tip: try not to base every activity you do on eating, cut the extra snaks, only try one snak a day and have it be fruit, eat healthy meals, take a jogg around the block everyday, start by doing sit-ups and doubling how much u do every week, try doing push ups, ride ur bike every day, and if that doesn't work ask ur parents to buy foods without hydrogynated oils, which result in getting fat, diabetes, ya know. puttin ona few pounds. Try only watching tv on the weekends...

Try only watching tv on the weekends limit the hours to a half hour each night, pick a favorie show and just watch that. Don't flop on the couch every day and eat and just channel surf for hours, or sleep in try to wake up early and get started, always eat a healthy breakfast. And just remember that even if u don't look like those celebrity bodies do, too bad, they starve themselves. (view less)
