If I drink water with every meal and in between meals, do you think I'll lose weight? Also, do you think I should stop eating at a certain time?Thanks for any help and suggestions.

I think that you should drink at least 6 to 8 glasses of water a day. My mom goes to weight watchers and the persont that taught it said that it does not matter what time you eat as long as you eat something like a carrot or a piece of bread and a glass of water. The reason why most people say that eating late is bad is because people usually tend to eat fatty foods at night.
GOOD LUCK!

I am your height and 180 so I no exactly how you feel. My cousin and I are going to start walking everyday and cutting back on carb loaded foods and meats. We have cut out sweets and fried foods. You shouldn't cut out on carbs, but it is good to replace them sometimes with fruits or veggies. Dannon light n fit yogurt is also a good thing for breakfast or snacks. You should also eat less red meats and pork. Eat more chicken and fish, not fried. Those are some tips. Good luck and wish me luck.

NEVER cut carbs from your diet. its true that eating to much carbs,such as twinkies,white bread,and donuts are very fattening. stay away from that stuff and instead of eating white bread eat whole wheat...it REALLY helps. basically,my point is eat a reasonable amount and try whole wheat. plain and simple. hope i helped!

In January I started to *diet*. It wasn't really a diet just eating better. Replace all the chips and candy with fruits. It might be hard but chocolate is out. You have to start reading the labels on the foods that you eat. Try not to eat out a lot either. Remember this is what you have to build up you may not but ableto just start today and give up chips and chocolate. Also start to lift weights. Not only will they help give you a nice looking body but you will replace fat with muscle and burn fat a lot faster. One last thing, take your vitamins and drink green tea. It is really good for youI've lost over 30 pounds so far. I have about 10 more pounds to lose but I'm getting there. Good Luck!!

I haven't been to this site for a while..But i figured i would post this diet method that really helped me. I was mad last summer because i was going into 8th grade and wanted a girlfriend..to play sports...etc..I started dieting in June with a VERY strict diet. What i did was..ALL SALADS..You may be thinking.."thats torture". but want to know the results?? In one month i lost 23 pounds...I stayed on it and by the time school started i lost 67 lbs. I went from a 184 lb 7th grader to a 117 lb 8th grader..You all can do it if i can..

Salads are good but dont forget that you also gotta have enough protein for growth. I put like baked chicken strips or steamed shrimps or halibut (fish) chunks in my salads. You can microwave the chicken or fish too. And use low fat salad dressing... and ground pepper is tasty too. Cucumber slices soaked for an hour in iced vinegar with pepper are great!! ANd dont lose more than a couple pounds a week or its not healthy. c ya in the chatroom... ~Caroline~

I'm 10 yearsold and 5'2". I weigh 150 lbs. I have more rolls on my stomach than a pastry truck. I am so fat. Please help me!! I wear a sweatshirt even when it's 100 degreese at school to hide the bulging fat from my stomach that shows through my shirt. I have used and tried health charts everywhere and they all tell me that I'm obese. For breakfast I eat 6 slices of ham and bacon, 3 eggs , toast and butter. Lunch; a hamburger, fries, and a extra large shake. Dinner and desert: Pie, chiken, beef, and cake. I am so fat and my pant size is 34. None of my clothes fit and some of my mom's close don't fit me either. Help me fast.

MUNCHIES!!!!!!!!!!The reason people eat so much i 'cause they got the munchies!
Munchies (mUn-chEEz): (verb) The act of craving food when one is not in need of food.
You eat cookies and all that junk 'cause thats the only thing layin' around!
Buy some 100% fat free chips and tones of oranges (or whatever fruit you enjoy best) and scatter them about the house! That way, when you want to eat something when you're watching tv or doing homework or whatever...just grab for those healthy snakes and you'll do great!

Hi everybody !!!You've got a vistor from Germany !!!I'm 1.68 meters (I don't know what's in feet) and I weigh 336 lbs. In my opinion, it doesn't matter if you're fat or not. I like it to be fat. I'm trying to get bigger all the time, I eat everything I want to eat. I've got many friends who are thin and some who are big, and they repect me like I am. Now, I try to get in contact with some other teens or kids, who like it also to be fat. So write me backImi

Imi,
I showed your posts to my mum and she thinks - and I think I probably agree - that you do actually want some support and help, although you may not openly admit it. You have got so used to eating this much that it is just normal for you now. You say that in Germany there isn't much low fat food. Well, I live in England, not far, and the supermarkets are full of it. I bet if you go and look then you may be surprised and find something lower fat that you like. I can see how at your age your parents can't control what you eat and we all eat more when we are bored. In our house my mum stopped buying high fat crisps and bought low fat ones - and they taste the same, believe it or not. We had to educate ourselves, the whole household, and change our diet. It wasn't so difficult to do. My mum still had to go supermarket shopping so she just bought everything lower fat. I have a very, ... (view more)Imi,

My mum found some low calorie lollies plus low fat chocolate eclairs. A diet doesn't have to be painful. The next time your mum goes shopping, go with her and look at the lower calorie foods. The portions will be smaller than what you are used to and it will be difficult for you at first almost certainly. The people on this forum are very supportive of each other and if you change your mind and decide you do want to adjust the way you eat then I am sure people will be glad to offer advice, but if you are just saying 'I am fat and proud of it' then people won't be so sympathetic to you.

Hi. I'm 16, a junior in H.S., weigh 160 pounds, and am 5'7". I am a member of Weight Watchers, and I've been on it for 9 weeks, but I've only had a .3 pound loss. I was wondering, since afternoon snacks are my downfall, if anyone out there has any ideas of what to eat. Sometimes, even if I'm not hungry, I'll eat because I have been in the habit of having a snack after school ever since primary school. I'm not increadibly worried about my weight because I've been exercising and eating (somewhat) less, but I would like to see more than a .3 pound change (especially when W.W. is something you have to pay for...). Please help me. Thanks!!

Hey~ I have the same problem. I like to eat something when I get home, whether I'm hungry or not. It's a bad habit, but I've used it to my advantage now. I've been keeping fruits and veggies around the house. Since you need 5 fruits a day, this is a great way to meet that standard.

Listen, if you eat and get fat then it is because you are eating the wrong foods. If you don't eat you will become thin but you will be dizzy and feel sick all the time. So, instead of eating sweets, chocolate, crisps, chips and fizzy drinks eat fruit and drink water. Good Luck, Love Katexxx

Im about 178-185 pounds. Am I am about 5"5 and sometimes I feel bad about myself because my freinds wear tight shirts and they look great in them but I can't wear them because my stomach would come out so far.And my mom told me I could wear them if I lost weight.And also all of the boys at my scool go for the girls that have flat stomach's it doesn't matter how smart that person is as long as they are skinny then everyone at my school wants them!

When I was 12 I weighted about 165lbs, I was in grade 6 and I was probably the fattest grade 6 girl anyone would have ever known. I was short too which made it worse and one day my grandparents asked me if I wanted to lose weight and I said yes and they helped me go on a diet. I still ate the same foods I had always eaten but I drank about 5 glasses of water every day, strawberries and strawberries and more strawberries and cut out the chips, pop, sugar and candy stuff. The secret is to eat 6 times a day. a balanced breakfast, lunch and dinner with a lot of fruits and veggies and snacks durring the day like carrot sticks and fruit. It REALLY works. Believe me... I know exactly how you feel! I wish you the best of luck to lose the weight but don't do it for everyone else. Do it for yourself!! It will make you feel a lot better!!!
take care and always know people care about you!

Want a good snack food but VERY healthy that will fill you up and is good in the summer?
Take regular grapes, green or red either ones, take them off the vines, and put them all in the freezer in a zip lock bag. When you get a craving for something sweet just take out the bag and pop a couple. They're really sweet out of the freezer, and you can eat as many as you want. It's a great substitute for all that crap food us big kids eat. Best of all you don't feel guilty after eating them.
