Ht. 5'11.5", Start: 280 lb, Today: 262 lb (BMI: 36), Goal: 220 lb - Hey guys,
A neat idea to help out with Thanksgiving is to have it buffet style. Have all the food in another room, like the kitchen then everyone dishes their one plate of food and then everyone eats in a different room. Try to get everything you want on that one plate because it'll be easy to overeat if you go back for more. Lastly, try talking with people around you, don't focus entirely on the food. The more conversation you're making the slower you're eating and more likely to not overeat. For dessert, either have your mom or someone else dish you some or only take a small plate through the buffet of dessert.
Good luck guys with thanksgiving and I hope you don't feel stuffed.
Sulay

your eating healthy! but mabbi your eating too much. try eating half of what you usually do. And then save the other half for later. And remember to ask yourself: Am I really hungry? or thirsty? and is my brain lying to me?

If you want to stop over eating in general a little trick is to always drink lots of water-ALWAYS. Take a small bit, put down your fork or spoon and take a drink of water. Everytime you take a bit, take a drink of water that way you get full faster and eat less calories.

Ht. 5'6", Start: 185 lb, Today: 185 lb (BMI %tile: 95), Goal: 155 lb - For as long as I can remember, I've always felt self conscious and uncomfortable with how I look. I've been overweight since about 3rd grade. I've always sort of been in denial because when I look in the mirror I always think I don't look that big, but when I'd see myself in pictures I'd see what I really look like. I don't hate exercising but it's hard for me to stop eating. I want to finally be able to buy clothes and look good in them, and be able to wear a bikini.. which skinny girls take for granted. I'm hoping that with support from others I can finally turn my life around. Anyone feel free to talk to me, I'd love to!

Ht. 5'2", Start: 265 lb, Today: 232 lb (BMI: 42), Goal: 135 lb - So in one month i've only lost 2 pounds. It gets me very angry because i've been working really hard in the gym. Since i'm away in college it's hard to know exactly what i'm eating but i have decided to start counting calories to keep my eating in check. I really want to get out of the 200's 33 pounds to go and hopefully i can get there before June but for now i just want to keep losing even if it's only 1 pound per week. Well i hope everyone is doing well good luck this week everyone =)

hey girl, i am college bound this fall and getting nervous about my eating habits there too...you might have already heard this tip but i have to say it works for me!! i eat on a six inch dessert plate. i've lost 60 lbs in a year without excercising this way! i eat whatever i like for the most part and only really limit my sweet-tooth to maybe one or two treats a week but you can have whatevr you like, eat what your friends eat just no seconds and don't overload the plate.....if u eat slow, enjoy it, you will feel full in the end. lol it's worth a try. and at school u can easily have your own plate set.

I'm very depressed right now and actually crying. I don't know If I even want to live anymore. All I want In life is to lose this weight and I keep gaining. I'm 150.. was 145.. and the scale keeps going up. I'm homeschooled because I get embarrassed of myself in school and I never do anything with friends..I always make up excuses because I feel fat. Some one please give me advice. I can't stick to anything. I always eat to numb the pain and I can't stop. I try to exersize but it doesn't make up for the calories I consume. I just feel hopeless. I'll miss out on so much waiting for the weight to come off. I want to weigh 110 so it will take 20-40 weeks if I lose 1-2 pounds a week .. and that's just to damn long to wait. I feel like I'm missing out.. I don't want to lose my friends .. I need help..please e mail me if you can help..PainFilledEyes21@aol.com

Hey Chelsea,
I know exactly how you feel I am 15 also and now weigh 153 pounds. I have lost 43 pounds and feel terrific. I also want to lose more and get down to around 135. The first thing I did on my diet was cut my food proportions down and started eating fruit and vegis as snacks instead of chips and cookies. I know this is hard for anybody to do, but once you see the scale move down that first week or two it is an amazing feeling. Please e-mail me back I can help you with meal plans and everything. I don't want you to feel like you don't need to be here.

I havent posted anything lately cause Iv been really depressed... I havent weighed myself or measured myself for at least two weeks!!! I havent even tried eatingt healthy for those two weeks... Well now I have spring break so Im trying to get myself back on track... Ive been reading this book and it says that you dont have to count calories... so I decided Im not going to all Im going to do is watch my portions and not eat anything that is not nutritional... the book saysd its not a diet but a "way of life" lol which makes sense... because when you are dieting you feel sooo hungry and deprived... which when you are done... you binge... cause i know I do... I may not eat for a couple days and then I binge.. well i decided to try to stop this... Im not going to be "dieting" anymore Im just going to be eating healthy and excerising more... I just weighed myself... I weigh 215! I gained all the weight I lost... Im hoping to be 160 by the end of May... even if Im 170 Ill be happier..

hey there tabby!
i am not over weight im around 4'11 maybe 5 foot and i weight 102 when i was younger like 11 i was a little over weight. I wanted to be able to wear a bikini and cute mini skirts like everyone else so i know how u feel. when it got to be the summer of 5th grade i knew i had to do something bout this so i decided to go on the web and find some advice. I learned that if u cut your meal in half and not eat as much then ur stomach shrinks so u wont be as hungry ~ seems hard but after ur done eating if u go and do something then u wont have the feeling that u NEED to eat! It really did work for me! i really do hope that u find a way to feel good about ur self and i want to help!
much luv! x0x0 maggie!
