If you dont go after what you want you'll never have it
if you dont ASK the answer will always be NO
If you do not step forwards, you'll always be in the same place

I been trying to find it.
I mean nooks are not cheep, books in your hand are cheeper.. Your better off without a nook... Try finding these out of print books, Amazon, or Albris. Or Borders or Barrns& Noble books clearnce..
I hope to have helped

Ht. 5'2", Start: 190 lb, Today: 190 lb (BMI %tile: 98), Goal: 110 lb - I want to lose weight so bad, but I can't start today or tomorrow, I was thinking about starting monday by eating the same foods but eat less portions and cut out my addiction to chips,but when the time comes to me wanting to switch to organic foods,It's going to be hard because my mom will probably not like it because I've always tried to try fad diets and never stay consistent, what can I do?

Long time no post. last time i posted i was at 230 and had lost 14 pounds. i went to the doctors the other day to get checked out from a car wreck i was in, and i was back up to 241. id lost 5 pounds since then and Im keeping it that way. its only been a week i must say im proud. im hoping to lose 15 more pounds this month i have faith in myself as long as i dont emotionally eat :/ i actually psychically and emotionally wanna lose this weight this time. I Hate being the only Fat girl in my group of friends. i actually wanna have a boyfriend and go to dances and look pretty. hopefully by the time prom comes this year ill be out of the 200 and A-ok :D I find it useful to read books written by overweight authors that have took the time to loss weight and have recorded it. You might find diet girl to be motivational. Well thats all for today :d
I wish everyone the best of luck through their weight loss journeys. :D
Love Katie (:

it's hard, but keep you head up! i'm sure you've heard that a million times before and you'll probably hear it a million times again, but it's the truth and if it's a food or excercise issue your dealing with then i suggest "the diet for teenagers only". it's a great really helpful book writen by people who understand teenage bodies. but what your struggeling with might just be stress. worry, stress, frustration, all that stuff may not seem like they can have a big effect on your health but it's happened to so so so many people and it makes it alot harder for your body to get rid of fats.
maybe try some relaxing techniques like yoga, or stoping for a minute everyday to take some deep breathes. anything helps. good luck, lots of love .marie

Ht. 5'1", Start: 220 lb, Today: 159 lb (BMI %tile: 98), Goal: 150 lb - I'm only 9 pounds away from my "goal", although that goal seems kind of pointless now. I was just looking at the BMI chart and apparently I have to be down to 130. That's seems so far away! I've lost 61 pounds, and will have lost 70 when I reach my "goal" and I'm proud of that... it's just that it doesn't feel like enough sometimes. Like last night, I had a sleep over and all of my friends are tiny... I felt so different. When we went swimming I was the only one not wearing a two piece. I don't know... maybe I should just suck it up and be greatful. I'll keep working.

1. Don't starve yourself leading up to the meal. Just treat it as a regular meal.
2. Spend time talking with family and friends instead of eating through the entire thing since Thanksgiving dinner tends to last for hours.
3. Load up on veggies!
4. Drink lots of water while you eat.
5. See if your family will let you use smaller plates to set the table. (Also: old china tends to be smaller than plates now!)
6. Take a break before getting more of anything (except veggies unless they're cooked in a way that adds tons of calories).

every single time you are going to put food in your mouth.. think: how will this make me feel? cravings go away in 20 minutes.. all you have to do is last 20 minutes. Call a friend, draw a picture, take your mind off of it. i know it's hard.. and it's a lifelong battle.. you have to consciously choose to make this life your own. You are worth more than that one bite of food!... prove it to yourself!

Hey wear either a) those like leg things that only go down to your calf so it will reduce your 'clapping sound' though i doubt it is really that bad lol. b) wear those underarmour shorts that are short that are used for girls soccer and basketball. So it squezzes in your legs and they won't rub. Mine make a whishing noise lol! hope this helped!

Ht. 5'5", Start: 240 lb, Today: 240 lb (BMI %tile: 98), Goal: 115 lb - This is what Im really wondering, I have a very small frame, my doctor says a healthy weight for me is 115, with that being said, Im 240 now, meaning I would have to lose 125 pounds!! I have about 20 months to do so, so I wont be rushing it but what I am wondering is, will I have a ton of extra skin from losing weight? I heard someone say that people who lose alot of weight have a ton of extra skin that sags, or is that only for older people? Does anyone have any tips, I really have no idea what Im doing besides wanting to lose weight..

yeah, Im just worried, I talked to my doctor and he said most of the times when theres alot of extra skin is when they lose weight fast or when they are older. So since Im young and wont be losing it fast idk, I just hope not. Thanks you two.

Ht. 5'5", Start: 180 lb, Current: 180 lb, Goal: 135 lb - Hey guys! I have never been on this site before, but I like this site. It makes me feel like I'm not the only fat kid out there. I actually tried that BMI thing...it kind of made me sad because im obese. Out of 100 kids, I'm the fattest out of all of them. I am trying to lose weight but i really can't get modavated. I try diets, but after a while I get bored and pig out again. The thing i hate the most about being fat is not being good at running...having so much belly fat...and having strech marks. I'm sure that some of you no what I mean. I just need a friend that i can talk to about losing weight and being fat. If you want to im me...my screen name is BeckyL3569 on aim.

Ht. 5'1", Start: 180 lb, Today: 160 lb, Goal: 135 lb - Okay, rather than commenting on EVERYONE's bulletins, I've decided to just answer all of your questions in one post. First off, in order to lose weight you will need to eat right, and exercise. There are no quick fixes. Everybody's body is different and everyone will need to do different things in order to lose weight. Start by reducing the amount of food that goes into your mouth. Its takes 3500 calories to make a pound. so if you cut out 500 calories a day, you will lose 1 pound a week. By exercising, you burn off even more calories, resulting in more weight lost. now what kind of food do you put in your body?? Well protein is very important because it builds muscle and muscle burns fat. Fiber rich foods help you feel full, and its always good to eat COLORFUL veggies and fruit. Drink LOTS and LOTS of water. Unsweetened tea is good too but water is the best. As for exercising, ...

Unsweetened tea is good too but water is the best. As for exercising, cardio NEEDS to be done in order to lose fat. Doing crunches and lifting weights only strengthen the MUSCLE but don't eliminate the fatty tissue around the muscle. Cardio like running, swimming, dancing, biking, or any other exercise that gets your heart pumping(HARD) will reduce fat. While you do your cardio you will also be gaining muscle. As for cravings, try brushing your teeth, i tend to not want to eat after my breath is minty fresh! Also buy some sugar free jello(10 calories a cup) They really kill a sugar craving. Hope i helped!
