Don't think about the total amount of weight you want to lose. Set your goal for 2 to 5 lbs every week. And don't feel bad if one week you don't lose any but that you stayed the same(rather than gaining) and then jump back into it the next week. Remember "A mile is a trial, an inch is a cinch". You can do it, one little step at a time.
And don't let the kids at school get to you. They don't see the courageous and smart person that is on the inside. Because you are smart and brave, your trying to make yourself better!!! :o)

Hi Everyone! I am 5'10 and weigh about 230 pounds. I have been overweight since about Grade 4 and I want to lose some of it now and get down to 160 pounds. Is there anyway that I could lose 70 pounds in about 3 months or so??

Andrew~I think that trying to lose 70lbs in three months would be VERY UNHEALTHY, if not impossible. Everyone wants to see results quickly, for whatever they set out to do, but losing weight is one of those things were quick results are not the best results. The best goal to have for losing weight to is to lose only about a half of a pound (1/2) to 2 pounds per week (for 70lbs that would take about 35 weeks, or 8 1/2 months). I know that sounds like a crazy, long amount of time but that is the most healthy way to lose weight. If you lose weight too quickly your body will lose important nutriants that it needs, also the rate at which your body uses engery will slow because it will think that you are straving and will slow down to save engery--this will cause you to lose weight even more slowly.

Also, if you lose weight faster than that (because more likely than not you'll be on some sort of 'fad' diet or you'll flat out be starving yourself) you'll be more likely to regain the weight as soon as you reach the weight you want to be because you'll go back to eating like you did before you starved yourself. The best way is to eat more healthy and smaller portions, but most importantly to continue to eat and not to starve yourself. The best of luck to you. Missy. (view less)

Trying to lose 70 lbs in 3 months is totally unhealthy. The best way to lose the weight is to do it the right way and then you are sure it will stay off and it will not harm your body. I am overweight an need to lose about 70 to 100 lbs but I know that if I don't do it right I may not be here to see myself lose all of that weight. Try to do it healthy and you will see the results.

Well there is no way possible to lose 28 pounds in three weeks. That is pretty much impossible. You can only those almost 10 pounds a month going on a diet. Losing weight doesn't happen over-night.

IVE BEEN READING THE MESSAGES THAT PEOPLE HAVE LEFT ON HERE. I COULDNT SEEM 2 HELP NOTICE THAT A LOT OF PEOPLE ARE LOOKING 4 QUICK WAYS 2 LOSE WEIGHT. I CAN UNDERSTAND THAT PEOPLE WANT 2 LOSE WEIGHT FAST BUT WHEN U THINK ABOUT IT ITS A BIT RIDICULOUS. U CAN ONLY SAFELY LOSE 1-2LBS A WEEK. THE REST IS WATER OR EVEN MUSCLE. UNLESS U WANT 2 DO YOURSELF DAMAGE THEN I SUGGEST U ALL TAKE A CLOSE LOOK AT YOURSELVES AND REALIZE THAT YOU CANNOT LOSE ALL OF YOUR WEIGHT OVERNIGHT.

I noticed a lot of you skinny ones (yeah I'm crackin' on you again :) ) are comparing yourselves to others... mostly your friends. I do that a lot too. I weigh 170 (after loosing 10 pounds in the last month WOO HOO) and I feel great. yes, I'm still fat and all... but I personally feel very good about myself. Don't look at your friends who are aneoxic. I think not enough emphasis is put on how dangerous aneorxia is. Did you know that it only leads to death?? My aunt had it... she started missing periods... passing out, couldn't use her arms or legs sometimes because she wasn't getting enough energy. Forget what you're friends look like. And the models in magazines (if you notice... a computer has done up a lot of that, and they're suckin' it it :) ) You guys with the 26 inch waist and all that look FINE. Did you know that in the 1940s it was considered beautiful to have like a 30 something and over inch hips?? WOO HOO... :) Everybodys body is different... we're not all gonna be able to look the same. So... just YOU concentrate on YOURSELF... how YOU feel... if you feel good and all... you know :) Anybody wants to email me ( personal critisim or just buddy chattin') at Abbaaskid@yahoo.com

I know what ya mean jess... i get tired of it too. But these ppl have a real psychological body image problem,,, they really believe theyr overweight... Ive read that it comes from an extremely deep fear and pain of being rejected,, which they feel way more than most ppl. Like TONI who posted below. She desperately wants her mom to say shes beautiful. This is what causes anorexia which can even lead to death. We can help them and be their reality check. Hugs... ~caroline~ ... p.s. I really like your postings!

do you guys think i can lose 15 pounds in 2 1/2 months?any tips on how to lose a lot of weight around my arms and thighs? PLEASE HELP!!
Reply From Ariel, Age 15 - 06/07/01 show message replied to go to original board
Yes, I think you can lose 15 lbs. in 2 1/2 months. That's a very realistic goal. I would try roller blading, walking ,and maybe running for your thighs. For your arms, I would try weight lifting. Of course, you have to eat right, too. It doesn't help to burn off calories exercising and then put it back on, or MORE, by eating unhealthy. Good luck!

Hey everybody. I am 12 years old and 226 pounds. I want to loose weight by the next school year. Preferably 50 pounds. If I ate two meals a day which were low on fat and about 900 calories, and drank a lot of water, do you think I could loose 50 lbs by school next year. I wished I had people to talk to about my problem, but talking to friends or family members would embarrass me. I guess talking to perect strangers and not having them see me is the best way for me. Can anybody help me. Thanks a lot
Reply From Erin, Age 17 - 05/31/01 show message replied to go to original board
Brianna, hey! how are you? i'm good! about losing 50 pounds...trust me,you can't do it in just a summer. not to discourage you or anything,but if you do what you said you'd be starving yourself.i know you have probably heard this a million times but you have to go slowly and make life changes. and cardio excercise gets rid of fat...like swimming or bike riding or walking...and if you burn more calories than you eat you lose weight. and if you check your weight after doing all this stuff and its the same or more remember that muscle weighs more than fat. eating right and doing aroebic and strength training exercises can help you lose probably 25 pounds this summer. and if you keep it up during the school year you could definately lose your 50 pounds. maybe even more. but be careful...
if you start overeating after you lose the weight you will gain it back and probably even more weight. good luck!! let me know if you achieve your goal!

I need some help on losing weight and I need a person to talk to and relate to so you can email me at nono808@aol.com thanx!

Skipping meals could be one of the problem with losing the weight. You dont want to skip meals cause it can cause you to actually gain more weight cause your metabolsim isnt working fast enought to burn when you do eat!!
Good luck!

Unless you stay witha strict diet, thats probably not going to happen. Im 5'6 and weigh about 150 lbs. I want to get down to about 120. Weight loss takes time, if it goes off too fast you will soon gain it all back. I have been trying to lose weight since January and Ive only lost about 15. Your going to backslide, and your weight will level off for awhile, but if you keep at it it will melt off faster than you think. It will almost definitely take more than 5 weeks to lose 10 lbs though. Id be happy to trade info with you if you want.
