My family had a weight loss contest that lasted from February 18 to May 21, and the prize was $300 for the winning woman, and winning man. My Mom and I ended up in a tie, we both lost 20 pounds! She went from 180 to 160, and I went from 169 to 149.

Hi I just wanted to tell everyone that I have lost 10 pounds in the last 3 weeks! This is great. I feel better and am stronger. I was lifting only 8 pounds now I can lift 15. It is hard but worth it. The Things is I need to start controlling my cravings because I do good all week and then I splurge on the weekends though so I willa try to eat perfect this week.

I have some time before I go to work, so I decided I'd tell you about my past habits before I met some helpful people along the way. I used to eat a small, unhealthy breakfast consisting of white bread and sweets. Then, I 'd pig out for lunch and have 2 or more pieces of cake for dessert. Then, half an hour before dinner, I'd eat 7 or 8 cookies hoping I'd spoil my appetite so I don't have to eat so much. Well, in reality, the cookies are higher in calorie than dinner itself. It didn't work, of course, and I ate a huge dinner and didn't stop until my stomach hurt. I felt like crap afterward, so I thought, "well since I screwed up today, I might as well eat more". So before bedtime EVERY NIGHT, I'd eat several donuts or half a box of Pot of Gold chocolates or a peanut butter sandwich. I couldn't sleep at night because my heart was beating so fast and my stomach hurt so much....

I couldn't sleep at night because my heart was beating so fast and my stomach hurt so much. NOW, I eat whole-wheat bread and fruit for breakfast, sushi or sandwich for lunch, meat and veggies with rice for dinner and fruits for snacks. I also do 50 crunches before bedtime. I treat myself occasionally, but I don't eat until it hurts. I sleep better now and I feel more in control of myself. Dieting is really a change in lifestyle more than anything. What were your old habits (if you've changed them)? ~~MissyK~~ (view less)

I have a friend who used to weigh 160. She did lots of crunches every night, walked for an hour, ate healthy, and drank nothing but water. In about 1 1/2 to 2 months, she went down to 130. Now She's at healthy weight! Simplest of things make a difference...

Hey I lost 15 pounds in the last 3 months...I did this by walking with Walk Away The Pounds Video tapes...I cut out eating late at night..And guess wht? I have a pair of jeans and they didn't fit before, but now they are even a bit big, so i use the buckles on the side to tighten them up! I'm thrilled. Good-Luck to all..And if anyone has a question, Post on the TEENS BULLETIN BOARD...thanks....
