Ht. 5'5", Start: 147 lb, Today: 145 lb (BMI %tile: 84), Goal: 125 lb - Sabrina,
Write down all the reasons that cause you to begin to stir and want to lose weight. This is just for you, so be bold and write everything down, even if it's very personal.
Then write down- How will your life be better if you lose the weight?
If you don't lose the weight, what are you going to miss out on?
What opportunities will you lose out on of you don't lose weight.
Now while I'm trying to lose weight I keep up on my diet for a week and one day of the week I have a cheat day, where I can eat anything I want. Just think about it. You eat healthy for a week and then on Saturday(or whatever day you want it on) you can eat anything you want. That really helps motivate me. Treat yourself!
Hope this helps!

Ht. 5'5", Start: 147 lb, Today: 145 lb (BMI %tile: 84), Goal: 125 lb - If some of you wonder why sugar makes you fat----Excess insulin is the problem. Insulin is a major hormone in the body, and is
released in high levels anytime you ingest what would be considered a "simple"
carbohydrate, which would include, but not be limited to: fruit juice, white bread,
most wheat,white rice, baked
white potato, bagels, croissants, pretzels, anything with high fructose corn syrup
Two actions occur when the insulin levels are spiked. First, the body's fat burning
process is shut down so that the sugar that has just been ingested can be
immediately used for energy. Then, insulin takes all that sugar and puts it into your
muscles. Well, not quite! Actually, most of us, except those random Ironman
triathletes and 8000-calories-per-day exercisers, walk around with fairly full energy
stores in the muscles. As soon as the muscles energy stores are full, the excess
sugars are converted to fat.

Ht. 5'5", Start: 150 lb, Today: 125 lb (BMI %tile: 58), Goal: 110 lb - Ok, I may have lied about my weight, but I need to let this out to someone. Ever since middle school, I have not agreed with my weight. It started with my stomach being larger, then as puberty hit, my butt and thighs. I have slim arms and you can't tell I'm large from my face, but I am bigger. It's the worst feeling in the world. It's on my mind 24/7. My friend insists that I'm not fat, but she wouldn't tell me I was even if I looked like jabba the hutt. To top it off, she is like 90 pounds . When I'm with her I feel like crying because I feel huge. So, for my new years resolution, I decided this needs to stop. After a year of googling weight loss pointers, it's time to actually put it in action. I have tried before, but gave up and failed. I go on the treadmill every morning when I wake up for 30 minutes, 2 miles, and until I lose 200+ calories. I... (view more)Ok, I may have lied about my weight, but I need to let this out to someone.

I go on the treadmill every morning when I wake up for 30 minutes, 2 miles, and until I lose 200+ calories. I also need to change my eating habits, infront of people, I don't eat because I feel like a pig and think they think 'oh, like she needs MORE food'. I starve myself all day until I get home from school, which is when I binge like crazy until bedtime . This doesn't help, since my body will store it as fat because I do not eat throughout the day. I now eat smaller portions , and avoid all junk food. (very hard for me). With my family that is surrounded by junk food, I am surprised I havnt galled for the temptation. I also eat smaller portions, and havnt had pop drinks for 6 months. Its been almost a week now, and I am determined to reach my goal. What keeps me going is being able to shop for clothes I want and to be comforatabld with my body. If I can do it, so can you! (view less)

Ht. 5'5", Start: 180 lb, Today: 180 lb (BMI %tile: 95), Goal: 130 lb - I hate being overweight mostly since i will be graduating in 6 months (and Prom is coming up too)! I eat healthy, that's not a problem, my problem is that i do not do as much exercise. I get discouraged because i have tried to loose weight but is hard because i have PCOS ( it makes it hard for girls to loose weight).I am going to start doing more exercise and hopefully loose at least 50 pounds by June 1st (PROM NIGHT!).

Ht. 6'2", Start: 263 lb, Today: 263 lb (BMI %tile: 98), Goal: 185 lb - Another day. Hope to post less soon but while I'm starting the ability to write and receive feedback is so nice. Back to 263. Weigh myself every morning right when I wake up in my PJ bottoms and t-shirt. So I know I'm getting a consistent read.
Breakfast - 2 bagels and cream cheese
Morning snack - 1 cereal bar
Lunch - turkey and cheese sandwich with mustard, soda
Afternoon snack - 2 cereal bars, soda
Dinner - a hearty portion of enchiladas (a heckuva of a lot less than I used to have). 1 last soda.
Desert - small piece of chocolate cream pie.
Exercise - 10 minute walk around neighborhood. Wednesday is usually a really busy day for me. I'm finding it REALLY hard to fit exercise into my schedule. How do you do it??!!

I know this might sound like a lot but this is a huge reduction from what I was eating before (believe it or not). I guess all I can say is that I'm glad I'm not gaining.
Question - how much weight do you have to lose before you lose inches off your waist. The thing I'm looking forward to most right now is fitting into my size 38 jeans and pants again. I don't own a lot of size 40 (my current size) so my wardrobe has become really limited. (view less)
