ashleeyyy: You need to get some help, thats not healthy. You can not be 90lbs when you're 5'7, it's an unrealistic goal. Even 109lbs is at the very bottom (or under) of your healthy weight range.

Hey Chloe :)

My name is Emily, I'm about 144lbs, 5'7 tall, and turning 15 this year. I know what you mean about bathing suits, I'm totally scared about the summer, my goal is to get down to about 125lbs or so. I'm on msn all the time, I'd me if you like (just send me a messege and I'll give it to you), I'd love to be your buddy =)

Emily

When I first started dieting I didn't tell a soul, I was very very sefl-consious of it. But after a while my mom started noticing, and people would start commenting that I looked smaller and stuff, and I also had to ask my parents to buy me new clothes cause they got to big, so obviously they found out :P. I started at 184lbs, and am now 143lbs (my wasit went from 38' to 28', my chest went from 42' to 36', and my hips from 41' to 35'), my mom noticed after I had lost about 15lbs, and my dad noticed after about 25lbs. Generally there reactions have been good, my mom doesn't talk about it, but I know she's supportive, she's just really awkward when it comes to talk to me =P, she's pretty overweight too, I think I have motivated her to try to lose a bit of weight because I've noticed lately that she's been trying a bit harder to excersise and eat healthy =). My dad has struggled with his weight a bit too, he bikes 10km everyday and lifts weights though now (for probably the past 3 years) so he's in great shape now, but he knows what it's like to struggle with weight, so when he noticed that I was trying to lose weight he was really supportive, made sure to stock up the fridge with lots of fruits and veggies and tried to cook more lean meats. I'm really thankful that they've been so awesome. =)

Usually I listen to anything by Tegan & Sara, my all time favorite band.

SW: 185lbs (eeek!!)

CW: 144lbs

GW: 120-125lbs

I don't really have any spesific rewards, but when I get to 130 I'm going to up my calories by about 100-200, so I can slowly ease into maintaining.

I usually don't pay attention to percentages, but I try not to go over 35% fat. Usually I just try to get in my 4 food groups; wheats, fruits/veggies, dairy, and protein, and make sure I don't have tons of just one, or to little of another.

My definition of binge would be eating more then 2000 calories in just a few hours. For about a month I would binge once a week, it's a horrible habit. I would eat a bowl of cereal, pancakes with syrup, any left overs in the fridge, bag of popcorn topped with tons of butter, spoonfuls of peanut butter, any candy I could find, McDonalds, pop, chips, granola bars, everything and anything until my stomach would get so painful that I would go to bed crying from the pain. That is a binge.

I've always had 'curves', I had a bit extra weight, but definataly not enough to say I was fat or obese, but guys never ever liked me.

I'm 14, and have never been kissed. Well, I have (it was like 2 weeks ago actually), but I don't count it cause it was with one of my best friends and she was high and it didn't mean anything at all. And I've never been in a real relationship, I'm waiting for the right girl =)

Hey! I'm Emily.

my family are clueless about health, but are always asking me questions.

my mom bought these mini coffee-crisp bars that were only 80 calories a bar and my mom says "what do 80 calories even mean?"

and there's also my mom's famous "milk doesn't have calories" and my cousins "i ate half of a chocolate cake yesterday, but it was organic so it's good for you"

lolllll.

Lmfao, that's halarious, my isn't quite that clueless about nutrition, but pretty close.

My dad on the other hand is very very healthy, no junk food allowed in the house, unfortunatly I don't live with him.

For the most part I'm a healthy eater, I rarely eat junk food now, except when I give in and binge, but I'm working on stopping that =) I'd like to become a vegitarian, I've tried before, but it never seems to work, eventually I think I will though, I find it so horrible that I'm eating a poor little animal. My parents on the other hand, are probably some of the worst eaters on the planet, junk food, cookies, chocolate, sugar, fast food, all on a daily basis. It's quite disgusting, but they've slowly changed a little bit since I,ve been trying to eat healtht, I've convinced then to get a bit less fast food, and buy more fruits/veggies while grocery shopping, it's a start =) My mom is very overweight, and she's kind of given up on trying to get back in shape, I've been trying to get her motivated but she's to stubborn to listen to me. It's just really hard sometimes though cause there's ALWAYS junk food in the house which makes me crave it a lot, I wish I could just throw it all out.

I know exactly how you feel! Aren't weekends just the most difficult? I'm sitting here now Saturday morning thinking 'please i want some chocolate and cake!' lol :( it's horrible. I'll have an apple and try and keep myself happy. Someone help keep me motivated?! PLEASE?! :(

 I know exactly how you feel! On weekdays I'm usually fine because I have school and homework, and I'm to busy to think about food a lot usually. But then the weekend comes and all I can think about is foooood and sweets and sugar, ahhh. The last 3 weeks have been really horrible, I've binged at least 5 or 6 times, and I've gained 5 pounds =( We just need to remember to stay focased, remember how horrible it feels when you get on the scale and gain weight, the junk food is DEFINATLY not worht that. I had wanted to get down to 130 by the end of June, but thats probably not going to be able to happen, so my goal is just to be in the 130s (even if it's 139.9, I just need to get out of the 140s for good).

How much do you guys eat per day? I'm trying for 1400 calories a day.

Personality- I'm not really sure, she'd have to be sensible, intelligent, and open-minded. Definatly against racism/sexism/any type of discrimination. Can't be a smoker. Wants kids. Not afraid to say they need help.

Physically- Around the same height as me, or shorter, doesn't overly matter, as long as she's not a lot taller then me. Nice hair, medium legth, any color. Average size, definatly not super skinny or underweight, doesn't matter if they have a bit extra weight, as long as they're not seriously over weight. And definatly a nice average/large-ish chest =)

I'm 14, I'm 5'7 and 145lbs, trying to get down to 130 by the end of this summer.
