I used to be 130 pounds. I did not like how I looked. Almost every girl at my school was so thin and perfect, but I was not. I was eating 3-4 desserts a day, and getting absolutly no exersise. I finally relised that if I did not limit my self, my weight would keep going up. So I made a plan. I would eat only 2-3 desserts a week, and I would walk around the block at least once a day. It takes alot of time, but if you keep doing it, you will see you'r weigt go down. It has been a little less than a year, and I lost 30 pounds. It may not seem like much, but trust me, you can really see the difference in photos.

ya ok thats tottaly reasonable. What you have to do is eat things you like that are low in calories, such as fruit, veggies. Make your self a smoothie, there good and low in calories. Ask your mom to make healthier meals. and you need to excersize! to get serious results you need to excersize, run laps, jump on a trampoline, dance, walk, weight train, climb stairs. But do somekind of excersize! good luck sweetie! :) Keep us updated.

listen, u need to loose wieght but it doesn't have to be like a major issue all the time. take it slowly, first start to cut down on chocolates and stuff. dont take it all away immediatly or u will eat mor. juss take it slowly and maybe try doin sit ups because afterwards u feel great. it may take a while but i assure u, u will loose wieght.

When I was little I was chubby. I had what people called a pot belly, it stuck out over my pants. My mom noticed this, so she put me in swim classes. Believe me, swimming is the best exercise you can do if you are aiming to lose weight. It helped me, alot! And, mom cut off all junk food in the house, she stopped buying it. And I would always go for walks! It's not as hard as it sounds. Swimming classes is just like learning how to swim. Its fun, you get to meet new people, and it helps you lose weight. And going for walks, just grab yur headset and go! It can be fun. And junkfood? Who needs it. One of my old favorite snacks used to be Celery sticks with Peanut butter spread on top, or cheez whiz! And don't grab for that second helping. One helping is enough, and if you are still hungry after the first helping, grab an apple, or just get a glass of water. Anyways, good luck with everything! Just keep in mind- you can do it! ;)

this is an everyday thing i do not no if it will work or not with u everyone is differnt:
breackfast: 2 pieces of toast and glass of milk
lunch: pb and j sandwhich with anykind of fruit as much fruit as u want
dinner: whatever u usually eat like if u eat ur whole plate then cut it in a half or a third if u are still hungrey after that then eat fruit or veggies
REMEMBER TO DRINK PLENTY OF WATER AND TO EXERCISE FOR 10-40 MINS. 3 TIMES A WEEK. if that is less then u usually eat then u should lose about 2-5 pounds a week so that would mean by the time june comes around you will have lost somewhere between 26 and 65 pounds it all depends on how fast or slow ur matabolism is.
love ya
lili
p.s. hope u see some results soon!!!

O my gosh ppl!A few days ago I went to McDonalds, Don't Ever Go There in Your Life Time!! I went to there website to see how many calories I ate, I had a Big'n'Tastey (without cheese), Value Meal- The Burger Alone was 540 calories, and the regular medium Fries were 450, and instead of a regular diet coke, I got a Medium chocolate milkshake, It was 580. Talk About dieing before your 30, I suggest not going there, The total of what I thought was a smaller meal(Think If Your Ussually got supersized fries- 610 calories) The total of what I had was 1570 calories!! Outrageous!! I'm Never eating there again. According to the Nutrition Facts all the food really is, is Sodium, and Fat, Yes FAT, exactly what all of us here are trying to get rid of! I hope this Makes you think twice before you even pull into the parkinglot. Lord knows i'm never going there again. Talk to you all later bye! (p.s.- Think twice)

When you guys say "diet" how long do you plan to stay on it? A couple of weeks? A year? Untill you loose enough weight? Then you easily go back to the way you were before, eating a lot. After you've finished your diet you always end up gaining all the weight again. If any of you are serious about loosing weight, dieting is not the answer. Loosing weight or being healthy is a life changing process! You have to be prepared to change your life for the better. TRAIN yourself to eat healthier and actually excersize at least 3-4 times a week. Its more efficient if you do this slowly and surely. You want to make yourself look good for a life time, not for a month and then gain it all back again. When you have a craving for food or for 2nd helpings remember that food is the reason your changing your life and try to resist temtation. The more you become accustomed to healthy foods, the more you like the taste of them! Remember you can try every diet in the book and still not be able to shed the pounds, or just gain them all back after you go off the diet. But when you change your life to become healthier you not only look good but your happier too.

Ok, alot of people don't seem to understand the word diet. Many people make it out to be depriving yourself for a month or so then goin bak to ur old habits... WRONG. It isn't about depriving yourself its about eating healthier even if you have some candy or chips once in a while. It's a lifestyle change. It has to be something you know you can live with permenantly.

hey whatsup i was almost the same as u last yr...i was 5"3 and 133 pounds. It took my about 3 months to go down to 112. You need to go shopping with ur parents and stock up on all fat free or low fat foods. Go running. You really have to believe in urself. If you want to eat somnething fattening look in the mirror and ask yourself "Do I want to be fat?" Weight yourself every sunday. Good luck
