I think this song is really inspiring i mean when were dieting its usually cuz u dun like the way u are but just remember this you are the worlds greatest:
I'm that star up in the sky
I'm that mountain peak up high
hey! i made it
I'm the worlds greatest!
and im that lil bit of hope
when my backs up against the ropes
i can feel it
im the worlds greatest - R.Kelly
i jus wanted to say too that its prolly how u will feel when ur done dieting...keep it going!!! and dont ever give up on ur dreams... and dont forge to dream cuz when u do...nothing can come tru for u!

I know all you guys that are new here are probably feeling bad about yourself right now and thinking "how am i ever going to do this" but you just have to have some hope. If it gives you any hope that you can do it, this will probably help: When i can to this site in December 2000, i had already made up my mind that i was too heavy and i really wanted to lose weight. I was 170lbs-175lbs, 5foot 1inch, and i was about to wear a size 20 womens. I knew i was desperate, but i didn't need to do anything desperate, i found out. I found people on this sight that were willing to help and i really needed that. I couldn't do it on my own. So i started following some of the tips that everybody was giving and all the motivation and support, and i started in good faith that i could do it. I started with cutting calories.

So i started following some of the tips that everybody was giving and all the motivation and support, and i started in good faith that i could do it. I started with cutting calories. I found out that i was eating about 2500 calories a day and sitting around doing nothing! No wonder i was so fat i thought to myself. I cut down my calorie intake to about 1800 calories (in the future it came to about 1500). I lost about 10 pounds. The first 10 pounds are the easiest to lose. A few months later i started exercising like running in place and riding my bike often. Then summer came. My grandparents own a resort on a lake and it was my first summer living there on the weekends. I made a ton of friends and best of all i was going all the time. I lost about 5 pounds and i didn't even keep track of what i was eating. Then, the summer was over and i was about 155 pounds. I was doing good, but i needed to get back on track. i stayed the same until January 2002 and by then i had decided to go for my original goal of 130 pounds. I am currently at 148 pounds, 5 foot 2 inches, and a size 12/13 juniors. I am still pretty far away, but i have come so far. I use to tell myself, if only i could be 150 pounds, i could be perfect. Now it has become 130, but when i get there, i'll stop this time. I hope i will never be above 150 pounds again. These last few pounds have been so hard, i became obsessive for a while, but decided it wasn't worth it. I hope this will help you overcome those bad days, cause i had a lot of them, but i know the good days are ahead, waiting for me. Good luck to all of you. I would love to hear your input on this story. Thanks! (view less)

Hi,
I'm about 5'8'' and weigh around 160lbs I have finally decided to admit that I really need to loose weight and do something about it. I'm gonna try to eat a healthy diet and get to the gym about 4 times a week. I need some motivation to get started though, and mabey some tips that have worked for other people. unfortunatly i get really anxious and have a hard time waiting for results with out getting mad and frustrated. I'm not huge or anything, I am very muscular already, but I haev a lot of fat on me. So anything that can get me going and keep me going is gonna be very helpful. I wanna get down to about 125-130 pounds hopefully by June or July thanks

Hi everbody. Well, I have a lot of tips, but I have one that I will tell everyone is the most important. WATER!!!!!!!!!!! You are made up of water and you need it survive. If you don't drink enough water it could lead to headaches, stomachaches, dehydration, and feeling all around icky. That's not the only reason I brought it up. Water is a great dieting tool. If you drink a big glass of water 10 minutes before you eat, it will fill you up and help you eat less. It will also balance out the food so you won't be so bloated after a large dinner because the water will digest fast. In other words, it will take up space you would cram with extra food. Water is also the best replacement for pop and juice containing 0 calories! It also cleans out toxins in your body such as caffine which can drag you down. I highly recomend drinking at least 5 glasses of water a day. You'll be amazed at how much better you feel. Good luck to all of you!

Here ae the things that are helping me lose weight. I still have a long way to go, but I'm not going to give up!
*Have your parents help you. Tell them why you want to lose weight and how they can support you.
*Clean out the kitchen, get rid of ALL junk food (chips, cnady, soda, etc.) You can't eat it if it's not there!
*Eat low-CALORIE foods. One mistake I made was saying to myself, "Well it is low/no-fat, so it must be alright." Thats' not true. Companies add extra suger to their products to make up for the lost taste is there isn't much fat in them. So check the total calories instead of just the total fat.
*Don't eat "white" foods. Potatoes, whitebread, and other startches contain tons of carbohydrates. Carbohydrates are good for you, but only if you are low on energy. Otherwise, they just pile up and make you gain weight.
*No sports drinks or soda.
*Excersise at least 30 minutes a day.
