Ht. 5'2", Start: 315 lb, Today: 315 lb (BMI %tile: 98), Goal: 215 lb - Hi. I weighed myself today and I couldn't believe how much i was! I mean I knew I was VERY FAT but i had no idea I was over 300! Thats the first time I've weighed myself in about a year because I was always too scared to see how much I gained. But I now realise that I need to do something about it, so this year Im going to try so hard to lose some weight. I really have no idea how though. I can hardly exercise because I'v got so big! Any ideas what I can do? I need help! I hope everyone else has a good start to the year! x

Start small! Maybe get a yoga ball, and bounce up and down when you can. If you can walk to school, great! Maybe you have DDR, Wii, something else. Anything to get up and moving. Drink water, drink water, drink water. It helps a lot. Whatever you do, stay positive!

hey Sarah if you go to mypyramid.gov you can put in your weight, age, and height and it gives you a plan to fellow mine was 2200 calories a day and 60 minutes of exercise (I weigh 208 pounds) but I only want to exercise for 30 minutes so I changed it so know I can eat 1500-1700 and 30 minutes of extercise this is my second week on this and its working pretty well so far
