Ht. 5'3", Start: 180 lb, Today: 180 lb (BMI %tile: 98), Goal: 135 lb - I've been overweight ever since I was in 4th grade. I have constantly been trying to lose weight since then. The only thing that kinda worked was weight watchers. For a couple months. Then I started getting un-motivated and I gained 20 pounds. I've gained 20 more pounds since then and I'm so embarrassed. None of my friends are fat, and I just feel so out of the circle when I'm with them. They've all had boyfriends and such, and no guy has ever looked at me in that way. My dad made me join weight watchers again and I lost 4 pounds. But then again I got un-motivated and gained 6. I don't know what to do anymore. I'm just eating eating eating ALL the time and I don't know how to motivate myself to stop. I dance 5 days a week for at least 2 hours a day, and I go to the gym a lot. So I know it isn't lack of exercize. Its the food. Please, if you have and advice for me, reply to this message. I need all the help I can get.

OMG. I have almost the SAME exact problem. I have some advice for you: DRINK WATER. It really helps you stop eating when you're wanting to eat more...and more...
So, when I started trying to lose weight (at age 11) I was 147 pounds. Now, at age 13, I am 160. I don't know what's wrong! I dance 6 days a week...I'm top in my class..it's the eating habits. Maybe we can help each other out?

Keep with it!!
Think about summer. Its about 4 months away, and you want to be able to wear cute clothes and show off a nice body don't you! When ever I feel like eating some crappy food, I think of summer...bathing suits, tank tops, shorts. I want to look GOOD when summer rolls around. STICK WITH IT. Eat smaller portions drink water, and limit carbs/fat/sugar. YOU CAN DO IT

write your short term goal weight on your wrist. like if you wanted to get to 178 or 179 at the week, write it and look at it before you reach for food.
