Well.. my goal is like 129.. but I actually started at about 158-160.. I think it says I started at like 148, but I was about 160 when I actually started. Anyways, now I'm 135!! :D I just ate better and kept myself busy and also exercised by walking and stuff. So.. that's about 25 pounds gone for me :)

Alright I am 15 years old I stand at 5'4" and I use to weigh 174 lbs. I never looked that big but being big boned and all put on all of that weight. Anyway, I felt really bad and self-conscious about myself. So I decided to start on the atkins diet, you know the non-carb or low carb diet. Anyway, I ate just no carb food, like eggs,cheese,all the meat i wanted and lots of water, water is essential. I also did like 20 sit ups,leg lifts,arm lifts,and I ran up my outside stairs like twice a day 10 times. The magic part is that I lost 20 pounds in 4 weeks and thats alot of weight loss in just a month. I mean the 20 lbs. that I had loss made me look like a nice and slim person, for my ideal weight anyway. But no for real I looked really nice. The best thing about this diet is that you can have all of the meat,cheese,eggs and other non-carb things you want and not worry about gaining a pound...

I really, really recommend this diet to everyone who wants to lose tremendous weight in only one month. But drink lots of water it helps. Exercising speeds up the process but even if you dont exercise you'll lose all of the weight. Its just if you do exercise it helps your body burn all of the stored fat. (view less)

HI, my name is Demetira and I am a sophmore. My life during elementary and middle school was hard because I was fat. Boys would over look me and others would make hurtful comments. After awhile, I began to grow taller. This was a plus. I took a gym class where I ran alot. I began to walk the roads and ride my bike more. Water helped alot. Instead of changing my diet completely, I found it to be helpful just by cutting porportions down. I was up to a 13/14 and now I wear a 9 in pants and a 7/8 in dress! And it feels good! Hopefully I can one day get my stomach flat completely.

I'm 5'2" and 7 months ago I weighed roughly 140. I never liked the way I looked so I decided to go on a diet. I cut calories dramatically by eating smaller portions and only drinking water (lots), tea, or coffee. Today I have surpassed my goal weight of 120 and am now a healthy 110. Dieting is hard at first, but you get used to it. Honestly, it's one of the easiest things I've ever done. What people need to realize is that losing weight takes time and dedication. Don't expect to drop 10 pounds in a week, but expect to drop more like a pound or two. STICK WITH IT and the hard work will pay off.

When i vist friends, parties, barbeques and other places where junk and unhealthy choices are avaibale, I'm usually faced with the descidon to eat or well, not to eat. Some say only have just a slice of that cake, or only have one piece of pizza, but my problem is that if i have that one slice of cake, next thing i know im having another one, and another one and yet another one. If your like me and feel that once you've had the junk food you might as well have more- lsiten to this. There are two types of feelings when it comes to food- craving the food and then the inital guilt that comes after overindulging. Now both feelings are uncomfotable and hard to deal with, but you have to think about which one is more positive, obvisouly the craving. I learned that if I just stay away from the junk food completely, it won't put me on the track to the non stop junk eating road, and that I can...

I learned that if I just stay away from the junk food completely, it won't put me on the track to the non stop junk eating road, and that I can sit thruogh the activity craving the food (id rather have the craving feelings then the feeling of guilt) My two main points here are if once you start eating junk food you eat alot more then just that "one slice"...stay away from it completely! Its better to do all your activies with that craving for a peice of cake in your head then the feeling of guilt and the extra calories and fat your body in turn needs to burn off. Thanks...I hope this helped! (view less)

I havent weighed myslelf in a while. I decded that I would rather see the results after a few weeks rather than every other day. SO basically I have been going on an hou walk/jog everyday along with a 25 minute abdominal video along with a 45 minute upper and lower body weight video. (both are from the firm) I decided to go without red meat and no freid foods for a while. I am excited to see what the scale says in the next few weeks! By the way I went from a size 13 to a size 9 :).

Hey, first off i wanna say im really happy this page went up because it inspired me even more and gave me lots of tips! Well i started a diet about a week and a half ago and i have lost 4 pounds so far. All i did was eat the SPECIAL K bars for breakfast and have some YOPLAIT YOGURT. Then i got my mom to grill pineapples and zuccini with whatever else she made. I started to go on a 1500 calorie diet and it really works! I exercise 1 hour a day by riding a bike and doing sit-ups. I use to weigh 195 lbs but i am now 191 lbs and still going! I am 5' 6" and i want to get to my goal of 140 by the end of the year in time for social. I hope everyone else does get to their goal while dieting and if i can do this much already, u can too! Good Luck!!!

Hey. Since i was about 9 years old i was incredibly obese when i was almost 15 i weighed 260 pounds. Eventually I got up to 300lbs. I never was teased. Lucky for me i have the greatest friends and go to teh best school so i never was bugged about my weight. That was a problem for me though because i never really got any motivation because i thought people accepted me for me. I even had a boyfriend. (so girls looks arent what matters if the guys right he will take u for who you are. I have been dating him for2 years now. ) anyways one day my mom got really mad with me and said somethings that no mother should have but it did change my life. She called me some nasty names and said any hope in marriage for me can be forgotten so at first i was depressed but then i turned tht into extreme anger and motivation.
