marshall- this board is for telling how much you've lost and bragging(everything completely earned with the bragging- weight loss is hard!) if you want advice then go to the bulletin board. i post a weekly success thing and i've told many times on here how i've lost it but i give so many more tips on the bulliten board...

For the person who said "do not go on a diet" i have to completely disagree with you. Although you might have succeeded with just exercise, this most likely will not work for most people here. Here's an example. I was 160lbs, and i joined cross country and ran at least 4 miles per day, and when i didn't change my eating habits i lost practically nothing. And also you have to understand that your body is designed to take in energy more readily than it is at using energy. Two extra slices of bread can throw your 2 mile run out the door. I believe that what people need is a balance between eating habits and exercise and because most people get fat due to excess eating instead of lack of exercise, it is important that you check your eating first. If your looking for a lb. a week loss, decrease your intake by 300 cals per day, and try to exercise off 200. There are some people out there...

There are some people out there who just eat too much, whether it is too much mcdonalds, or too much baked chicken and rice, and for those people they need to deal with the eating aspects of weight loss because unlike exercise, everyday you will have to eat and make wise decisions. With exercise, some people have hectic lives and fitting it in is near impossible or too strenuous. Well anywayz,..thats my advise, and the only reason i'm giving it because i dont want people to kill themselves running 5 miles in a day and then ruining everything with second helpings or a cheeseburger with fries.

Tina what did you do to lose the 30 pounds? People alot of you guys say that you lost a couple pounds but you don't say what you do to lose the weight. If you say what you did then people can use your tips and lose weight too.

Hey I started August 1st weighing 205 pounds!! EEK. It's now November 30th...so I've been on my diet for 4 months and now I'm down to 175 pounds! Woohoo! 30 pounds! Only 30 more pounds until I reach my goal weight! So. If I continue this good routine I've been doing it will only take 4 months! But. I won't care if It takes until the end of May! Because then it will be a good 8th grade graduation present! Hehe
