PLEASE READ ALL OF THIS!!!Ok,i know this is gonna seem like a really long story, but i think i should be honest with the people that want to help me look damn fine.I weigh currently 5'7 155 pounds (lost 10). I know i should be happy and i am, except i started this diet in november and i haven't lost anymore weight. The reason why i wanna lose weight is becasue this guy (cole, who i swear is the hottest guy ever) is coming to visit his cousin, which happens to be my ex boyfriend on July 1st. The last time cole saw me i weighed 145 which is still alot but i really didn't care about my weight because that was like 2 and a half years ago.I was really ugly and fat and had a boy haircut when he saw me last, but he didn't care he still talked to me and stuff and i thought that that was pretty cool of him. We kept in touch over the summer thru internet and he even phoned me a couple of times.I saw him a few months after he came to vist his cousin(who was now my bf) for a school dance. He was like even better looking than before i saw him but i thought my bf was hotter. My best friend and i both think he's the hottest guy ever and we are both trying to lose weight for when he comes up in a few months, but the thing is she is like 5'4 and 115!!! I mean yah "ur really fat".I only wish i could weigh thatand wear a size 5. When cole visited his cousin last summer we didn't have a chance to see him because we were camping, we were so bumed about this but decided it was for the better because we didn't look to skinny or shall i say me. My ex told cole a hole bunch of bad things about me (i haven't even talked to my ex at all that year,so i don't see how i was a bi*ch)and i'm sure he said i was fat and i weighed 165 when all of this was happening, i could of started crying, but my ex and i went out for 1 year!!! and he would always say how fat i was behind my back (what an a**hole). Anyway i would like to weigh 120 pounds when cole comes to prove to him that everything his cousin told him was a bunch of bull. I want to look good for once in my life. Thanks for ur time in reading this, i know it's long.If u have any further questions about this story i will gladley answer them. So that would be great if you could give me some advice.

eureeka!!! try to lose 3-5 pounds a week even if you lose 1-2 pounds a week it will still work. it wont look like you lost a bunch of weight but think at the end of the month if you lost 2 pounds a week.you will look so much skinnier because you have almost lost 10 pounds. if you aim to lose more pounds than thats great and even if you dont lose all the pounds in the week and your shooting for 5 pounds than youve still lost 2-3 pounds a week. good luck!

omg- that's so sweet. i think you can do this. eat as much veggies as you can get into your diet. eat only 1300 calories a day and do taebo if you can. you can lose a lot by just eating less calories and doing regular workouts. try doing 30-60 min. of aerobic workouts every other day or up to 5 times a week. good luck!

How could your ex do something so cruel? 145 or 135 sounds more reasonable than 120, though your boyfriend shouldn't have done that to you. I really don't think you need to lose weight, but if you do you'll still be in a healthy range. Best thing is increse exercise. Even if you don't lose pound youll lose inces. But also, Just be yourself, and that will prove that what your boyfriend said was a bunch of bullsh*t. It makes me so mad to hear that people enjoy hurting others. So mad.
