I'll say when in doubt.. don't. Regret lasts a lifetime.

That's a good point! I'm going to add it in :)

8) This 'forces' me to educate myself more about what being healthy really is, and I've find that I know way more about nutrition than I've ever before.

9) Evaluates and redirects my emotions from eating to other channels, makes me more open to new things and ideas.

and a new one

10) By eliminating all highly processed and refined foods, such as high fructose corn syrup (high GI foods), I'm broke the vicious cycle of being hungry and snacking every hour!

I've had a pet named Wasabi :)

It's natural for some people. The easiest way to make it look slimmer is to get a haircut looking something like this or this. It covers the cheekbones, making it look like you have a smaller face.

There's no such thing. Other than lipo that is. Get your curves back, it's a whole lot sexier!

Re-bumped for more friends!

carmenxox - wow that actually makes a lot of sense. Does that mean I have a lot more muscle mass to begin with?

I don't exercise much, but I have always done dancing and karate and tae kwan do - generally a lot of cardio. I suck at strength, though.

But.. great insight! I'm SO buying that cute maxi dress I saw the other day. :D

Do you feel cold all the time, especially your fingers and toes?

If so, your metabolism's slowed down. Happened to me. During that time, my weight didn't budge. Then I varied my calorie intake and I lost like 3 pounds the next week.

Wow, am I the only one here who likes her oatmeal salty? I make my oatmeals (and porridges) with water and salt only, and I love it that way. Come to the think of it, I've never even tried sweet oatmeals, and I tried porridge with sugar only to spit it out..

I think I actually forum I actually like :) Somehow discussing weight problems with 15 year olds just doesn't feel right!

I'm 20, and has been overweight all my life (200lbs plus). I've been on more than a few diets and has practised unhealthy habits (like purging and overdose on diet pills) a few times. Thank God I don't do that anymore but now that I'm living alone my diet's got worse, until I started CC more than a week back.

I was an 'ugly duckling' kid - It was only when I was 17 that I started to take care of my appearance. I have a pretty face (so I've been told!) and recently I've taken an interest in clothes too (before it's always sweats and sneakers). I love Japanese clothing and I want to wear them - but they're naturally smaller so either I custom made them (too expensive!), or shrink myself to fit them, I guess!

I am determined to make this time work, and I do need motivation. I keep journal now, so if anyone else keep journals, tell me (mail me/comment on my journal) and I will definitely do the same for you. It's the extra motivation that can help me on this journey!

I'm 5'6, medium build, 20, and lost 10lbs so far in a little over a week :) Weight now is 204 down from 215. Target weight 154 lbs, highest end of the BMI range.

I hope I won't yo-yo anymore. I've been yo-yoing since forever, with my slimmest at 172lbs. I actually don't get you guys, you guys should be happy with the body you have now, you have no pressing need to be thinner, but I guess everybody have different views on their bodies, so I can't comment.
