Ht. 5'2", Start: 143 lb, Today: 135 lb, Goal: 110 lb - I really appreciate everyone's help on here. I just wanna say that. Now i just want to vent. At the beginning of summer i made almost a vow to lose thirty pounds. So far...I'm not so successful. I've lost a few pounds, but I'm not gonna lose enough by the time school starts. This depresses me. Today I've boosted my self esteem though. Everytime I'm about to eat something really bad and fatening, I take just a few minutes to think about how this could ruin everything. It's beginning to work. Can anyone please tell me ANYTHING that helps severely in loosing weight. Not dieting, loosing weight.

Just Calm Down!!! why do you need to loose 30 pounds before school? thats crazy! you are 14. loosing 5 pounds is something, but if your mind is set on loosing weight, then i can't change it. But eat smaller portions and have some strawberries after dinner instead of an ice cream bar. you can put a dollop of whipped cream on top to make it dessert but not a lot!!!! exersice for a half an hour a day, jump rope. good luck. and remember always be healthy and it doesn't matter what you look like at school!

cut out the sodium, you'll lose a lot of excess water weight(around the middle!), and keep working out. you can still make a huge impact in a month!
