I lost four pounds in two weeks. I just ate less than what I would normally eat. And I really watched what I ate, but I know if I exercise and make much more effort to lose weight, I know I can. There are little things you can do to lose weight without even knowing it.

Hey! I've been reading most of your messages and the repies. For the most part they are good. I remember at the end of my 8th grade year I was 5'1" and I weighed 180 lbs. And I wondered why I had never had a boyfriend. I was tired of being worn out after doing simple exercises. And I was so embarrassed of myself I would purposefully avoid swimming pools or anything that had to do with a swim suit. We went to see a doctor about my weight cause we thought maybe I had a thyroid problem. But I didn't. I was just plain and simple FAT. It wasn't that I ate too much it was just I was so inactive. My friends would "tease" me, my grandma was always making comments about my weight in public and to her friends. It really hurt. I finally decided I had to do something. See I have a REAL problem with waiting for things. I want things to be immediate. But I had to learn that weight loss is a gradual... (view more)Hey!

My friends would "tease" me, my grandma was always making comments about my weight in public and to her friends. It really hurt. I finally decided I had to do something. See I have a REAL problem with waiting for things. I want things to be immediate. But I had to learn that weight loss is a gradual thing. So I just quit eating as much. I only ate one helping of food at meals even if I didn't feel full. I started snacking on healthy foods between meals so I wouldn't be as hungry at meals. By the end of my 9th grade year I was 5'2" and I weighed 150 lbs. I was on my way! I pretty much kept up the same routine through my 10th grade year and by the end of the year I was 5'2" and I weighed 140 lbs. And I had my first boyfriend Daniel! I felt like I was on top of the world! Like nothing could be better. But then me and Daniel broke up and started the weight gain again. I finally said NO! I'm not going back. That June a friend of mine introduced me to yoga. I thought yeah right. This is so corny. How is this ever going to help me. But I was so surprised. When I started school that August I was 5'3" and I weighed 130 lbs. I felt great and on the first day of school I got a new boyfriend Nick! And yes me and Nick broke up and I went through a tough relationship with another guy after him I have started the weight gain back. But me and Daniel worked through our problems and we're back in a very healthy relationship. But back to yoga. It's very quick and healthy. You'll see results within the first week u do it. Doctor's even perscribe it to their patients. The most commonly practiced is Hatha yoga. It's primary goal is to cleanse the mind, body, and spirit. By doing this u increase flexibility, muscle tone, and shed some unwanted pounds. To do this u first begin by doing breathing exercises. By sitting on the floor in Indian style and breathing in through your nose for 3 seconds and out through your nose 3 seconds. You can do this for however long u want to. Next you begin exercises. These are just a series of stretches. By doing these u are increasing your flexibility and muscle tone. Then u move into meditation by laying down somewhere quiet and completely relaxing your body and clearing your mind. You will feel much better after you have done this. I am now half way through my 11th grade year and I am 5'3" and weigh 123lbs. I am at my all time goal. I wear a size 9 and I receive so many compliments from my family and friends. I'm actually skinnier than most of the friends that used to "tease" me. But I refuse to make fun of them cause I know what it feels like to be put in that position and how depressing it is. Now all my grandma talks about is how proud she is of me and how beautiful I look. And I feel so good about myself now! I feel like a completely different person. Anyone can do it. I'm just offering a quick and VERY healthy lifelong way to lose the weight and keep it off. If you have ANY questions or comments I would LOVE to hear from u. U can e-mail me at jenn_084@hotmail.com or Friscos4@compu.net and just type Jenna in the subject line. Love always and good luck! And always remember these quotes:"If you judge someone you have no time to love them" -Mother Teresa"Be kind for everyone you meet is fighting a harder battle." -Plato:-) (view less)

Hi,
I am now 14 years old and 115 pounds but I was once overweight, I was overweight my whole life (except when I was just born, I was born underweight) as long as I can remember I had loads of candy and junk food and little fruit. When I was twelve years old I realized I was too big I was probably 4 feet 4 and 135 pounds, I guess THAT was even smaller than my pediatrition expected me to be seeing as I was an extra 'chubby' child, anyway after about two years of diet an exercise I lost the weight, I'll admit it wasnt' easy, I mean I was 112 pound a little bit ago and now I wen up to 115 but I'm getting close to changing my lifestyle to something healthy and livable for me. A few months ago my pediatrition saw me and was surprised at how 'skinny' I had gotten, I'll admit I was blushing a bit.

My family on my daddy's side are obese and my grandma has diabetes and my grandpa died of it, some people on my mom's side, though fairly fit and made up of athletes or former athletes, have high blood pressure. I remember when I was in preschool, we participated in some school sports and my cousins went home with trophies and medals and I got nothing but a pity medal from my cousin, I didn't even come close to getting one of my own. Also when I was overweight I was a couch potato and moving around or just trying to get up made me extremely exhausted now I can run, exercise, explore town without getting tired, losing weight has had a huge impact on my life. I just hope I can keep the weight off and my story can inspire others. (view less)

In the third grade there was a drastic change in my life...a man i knew as a father left my mother. It was sooo sad and depressing and I ate food to make me feel better. I gained 70 pounds so that made me up to 180 pounds...I am still on a battle to lose all that weight but so far i am down to 158 pounds. If you are overweight and my story inspires you PLEASE do something about it!!! You don't have to live unhappilly and obese! My heart goes out to you!! GOODLUCK

Heyyya Everyone :). Ive found a new way to help me cut down on what i eat and it helps me to eat only when im hungry. if you are thinkin' that you're hungry then think of a meal or a specific food that you really don't like ! then have a large glass of water and wait for like 20 minutes. If you're still hungry then you can have a healthy snack or a meal whatever suits you.

hi evryonee.. well when i was in year 6 (age 11-12) i was 159cm (5 ft. 3 in) and weighed 68,4kg (150.5 lb.).
i was overweight and not happy at all..
i was calle faty and evrything..
then soon i thought smart.. i cut out on junkfoods and ate much less and was aware of calories in foods and worked out 40mins everyday on the spin bike.
then one day i hit 60kg (132 lb.). i was so happy i started to cry. i had a break from diet and my weight crept up to 63kg (139 lb.)... this was in the begginning of year 7.
i felt fat and horrible. i had flabs and felt fat. then i decidedto get down to 55kg (121 lb.) which i didn't acheive until the beginning of 2009. i had many breaks along the way :L
losing weight.. how did i do it?
sounds simple.. but it isnt.
i ate very little and cut our on sugar and salts
and exericse up to 40mins a day...
i worked out simply at home. without any equipment or dvd'd..
just trained myself and lost weight. now i weigh 52kg (114.4 lb.) and stand at 163cm (5'5").

I've had a complete epiphany. I feel healthier than I've ever been before! I can't remember ever weighing less than 150 lb since middle school.....I feel renewed, yet still have a long way to go. My biggest weight was 172 two years ago and since then, I've given up the fast-food, fried food, and junk for good. I've become somewhat vegan and trust me, try not to eat beef and substitute it for chicken or even better, fish....you'll be surprised at how much you lose. I've also cut the dairy products (Yes, no more lovable cheese! And instead of regular milk I drink soy or rice milk) and added more fresh fruits and veggies to my meals. I feel more inspired than ever and will continue to lose the pounds so I can fufill my true aspirations of being a musician. I hope others can bring more positivity into their lives, and not be afraid to give up the junk food and try new healthier options that ... (view more)I've had a complete epiphany.

I hope others can bring more positivity into their lives, and not be afraid to give up the junk food and try new healthier options that aren't awful. I used to be way too negative and hated myself badly for being "Fat" and "Ugly". I constantly hurt myself with false thinking.....and blamed myself for not being more "thin" and "attractive". It was complete bullcrap.
Ladies, don't do this to yourself!! Love yourself!!! It doesn't matter whether you're small, medium, or large boned. Don't give in & don't give up!! :)
Always, always, love yourself......remember who you are and never use hate as an excuse.
Much much love~~~ (view less)
