Ht. 5'5.5", Start: 181 lb, Today: 181 lb (BMI %tile: 94), Goal: 120 lb - 131.8 omggggggg I need help! :( I haven't exercised for two weeks straight and I have been eating late night meals and sweets. I don't know whats going on. I use to have the ability to say NO and not even crave it. But now I don't know whats going on with my body's chemistry. Had this happen to you before? If so, what did you do to overcome this barrier? I'm thinking about getting on those dietary shakes that suppress your hunger... because its 1am right now and I just downed two large pizzas, chocolate, coke, and one slice of cheese cake. I am completely and utterly disgusted with myself! I hardly ever even eat this much :( Whats GOING ON WITH ME!?!?!?!?!?!??!?!?! HELP!!

Ht. 5'4", Start: 185 lb, Today: 168 lb (BMI %tile: 95), Goal: 130 lb - Hey everyone. It's me. THe girl that left because she was doing the controversial HCG diet. Well, I did it, and I lost 17 pounds :). But that's not why I'm here. As happy as I am that I've lost 17 pounds I don't feel as if I learned anything. The problem with that diet is that it restricts you so much that all you think about it when it's gonna end and you can eat real food again. I'm back here because I still have 38 pounds to lose to get to my goal weight. I'm starting Weight Watchers tomorrow and I would appreciate all the support I can get. I need help...my eating habits are back to the way they used to be and I want to stop before I gain all that weight back. So, I'm starting weight watchers and I want to be down 10-12 pounds at the most by the end of the month. I'm drinking my water, taking a multi-vitamin, I've been forcing milk down my throat and I really am trying to... (view more)
