i'll join too!

i'm around 140 right now.

i challenge myself to lose my litttle tummy chubs by doing at least 20 sit ups a day.

:]

updates: i GAINED four pounds when i went to the scale yesterday. which was really shocking because i had gone shopping the day before and only had time to catch a quick lunch. i walked around the mall for a couple hours with my sister. then came home to a little dinner and went to bed. then when i woke up the next morning, i came to find that i had a four pound leap. how is this possible?! then this morning, i just needed to see what was going on, so i weighed myself and i only lost half of the pounds.

i am really worried because i went from...

• 140 [finally passing my plateau.]
• to 144 [after the day of shopping.]
• to 142 today. 

...confused.

i'm 19. and i have been exactly where you are right now. you aren't bipolar and nothing is wrong with you. you're just growing up. the best advice i can give you is just smile in the morning. even if you don't feel happy. yeah, i know what you might be thinking, "so im just supposed to smile for no reason like a crazy person?" yeah exactly! it is proven that a smile will make you significantly better even if you don't have anything to smile about. hugs do the same thing. give someone you care about a hug for a while, and you will feel better. its all mental.

but, if this continues for a while, it can cause you to go down a crazy road. i know you said you don't have anyone to talk to, but make the effort to talk to ONE person about it. have support in your life, even if you're not close with that person. its important you don't hold everything in. cause that can lead to you feeling worse and worse.

i hope things work out for you. and even if you don't know me, you can talk to me. i swear im not a creeper haha.

Original Post by meima:

Mine is a nickname my sister gave me when she was little, because she couldn't say Meagan.  It's carried on ever since, and now my brother also uses it (bro and sis are 23 and 19 btw lol).  Thankfully bro picked up Meima, and didn't continue with what HE used to pronounce my name as.... "wagon".

Tho, that would be a great sn too.

i had a similar story with a weird pronouciation for my name. my name is sara but my neighbors little brother, who was four, used to call me Gordon. it was a train in Thomas the Train. his favorite train was Gordon, i take it as a compliment.

to all of those that have replied this far...

i just have to wish all of you a giant congrats. i haven't been doing this a long time and already i am getting frustrated. it is really hard to be around people who can eat whatever they want and not gain a single pound.

i wish all of you the best of luck in achieving your goals. you are all really inspiring, as cheesy as it may sound.

name: sara.

height: 5'5"

body type: small frame.

age: 19.

starting weight: 149 starting CC; 141 at this very moment.

my story: i am just getting frustrated lately with my weight loss. my boyfriend and everyone in my family has a fast metabolism. i, on the other hand, eat one thing and blow up like a balloon. i weighed 160 at the end of my sophomore year of high school. i had mono for a month shortly after i started my junior year and dropped 40 lbs. like nothing. mainly because i couldn't eat anything solid and had to stick to popsicles and gatorade, and also cause i was in bed a whole month.

fast forward to January 2009 and i weigh almost 150 lbs. my boyfriend kindly told me i was getting a little chubby. i didn't take it to heart, all i did was start eating healthy and rollerblade for 20-25 minutes every day.

i haven't lost any weight since then. i am stuck at 141, and i don't know what to do.

i have a small frame, but i have 34D breasts. quite unproportional, but my family sees it as a blessing. i wouldn't mind as much if i could find some cute bras. i recently went into a Victoria's Secret cause i was drawn into the store by the Pink line that they have. i went over to the bra section and saw that there were absolutely no D cups.

my boyfriend was with me at the time, and i told him that i couldn't find my size so he asked the sales lady if they carried any. the woman said no, and that i could find what i was looking for in the back of the store. i was so distraught that Victorias Secret is somewhat saying that the age group that they aim to sell their Pink line to, would never have size D breasts. all i have to say to them is, i am 19 years old, in that age range, and i have a 34 D cup. 

don't beat yourself up. you binged, who cares? just go for a run... or even a long walk. you'll burn of those pesky calories in no time. then next time you want to eat, eat some fruit. or some vegies.

the worst thing you can do is feel sorry for yourself, cause it will cause you eat more.

i rollerblade for 20 minutes and i am a college student so i walk a lot through campus. [sometimes run if i am late haha.] my mom is a nurse, so she makes sure that i eat enough protein. i don't have much junk food in my house because my mom is losing weight as well. and she just can't resist ice cream if she sees it. [can you blame her?]

i have popsicles [sugar free ice pops] as my free food, but that is only if i rollerblade. i use it as a reward system for myself.

definitely a slurpee and some hot cheetos.
