hey, i was born around the same time. and im 15 and 5'5' too! I remember when i was young i weighed 175 lbs and as of last yr i weighed 155, now i weigh 135 lbs and its been a dream come true for me. The first step is to set small goals, i swear by my weight loss that this works, if your 175 now, make a goal to lose just 5 lbs, and once you reach that goal, make another to lose just only 5 lbs, it works, my next goal is 130.
Ive COMPLETELY cut out junk food, all sodas, any and all forms of junk food, inluding manyonnaise and cheese. I now only drink water and eat healthy food. believe me, its been hard and the temptations were hard too, but i just kept in mind what i wanted the end result to be. I try and go to the gym everyday and do the treadmill for an hour; which for me burns 500 calories daily, and i do kickboxing three times a week, i had only been doing this for a couple of weeks when i saw the scale drop from 140 to 135. None of my jeans fit me right anymore now because their too big! its all about willpower and doing whats right for your body, not depriving of food, i made that mistake, and the scale never budged, but now im eating healthy and its dropping w/ excercise. hoped i can help, if u have AOl, and are on IM, my screen name is VineVixen17 if you'd like to talk.
