Ht. 5'2", Start: 140 lb, Today: 153 lb, Goal: 120 lb - I really want to be 120 lb to 130 lb by 8th grade! which means i have a year to loose about 20-30 pounds!!!!!! I really think that i can do it! If i just exercise a lot more then i do and keep my butt of the computer! lol and i eat a lot better! IT should be real easy to loose the weight! Right? I just need help! So you people need to help me! AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE! And you know what else... I mean you people do give really good advice you know! But it's hard for me to stick to things!!!!!!! I have no clue why!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm thinking of joining a gym with me mommy! She needs to shed a few pounds too! Lol and you know what else! My mom is always telling me not to eat fatty foods but then she goes off and eats some oreos! and then i confront her on it and she says Leave me alone!!!! I need some chocolate! And it's really annoying! and all I can do is just stare at the oreos and not eat them!!!!! It's very hard to do that you know!!!!!!!! Okay welll school starts soon........... I'm really mad cuz i didn't loose ANY weight! I gained!!! UGGGG Then i have to go to the doctors in November! and i was sapposed to loose like 20 pounds! or something... But i could still loose 20 pounds... If i tried really hard!!! Okay well good luck homies! hahahah

I am soooo happy that you are staying positive!
It shows that u really want to lose weight! Well losing weight is not that easy... I struggle too with it but I just eat right! Just lay off the oreos for a while and if you go shopping with your mom tell her do not buy junk food and you get a great feeling when you want something a refuse it... If you have some extra money try buying those weight loss magazines... My mom bought two of those and they have daily excersize positions... and it only take about 20 min and its really fun!!!
And I used to go to the gym with my mom but my mom goes to a new one that can't take anyone under 14... so I do it at home and its more private! Well I hope your journey to lose weight is sucessful and if you even needs some PEP TALK I am always here!!!
