Hehe, just found this. Good idea.

I lost 18 pounds.

18 + 5481.6 = 5499.6

Not pointless at all! These are my favorite posts to read!

I'M SO PROUD OF YOU!!! Gosh that is so motivating, I'm trying so hard to get under 160 because I haven't seen it in 3 years. You're an inspiration! Keep it up and CONGRATS!

Start weight: 165

2nd week: 162

3rd week: 161.5

4th week: 161

Hey I'd say that's not that bad. At least I'm losing! I've been slacking on exercise a bunch :/ ahhhhhhhhhhhh I need to focus! I must be under 160 by next week!

Week 1: 165

Week 2: 162

Week 3: 161

Total weight lost so far: -4 lbs.

Hey I'm liking this downward progress! I hope it doesn't slow down though... I haven't been under 160 in 3 years. I wonder if my body will let me be under that :S

I know what you mean. I used to eat under 1200 because I gained weight if I ate over that. But I started working out and eating about 1400-1500. If you work out you can eat more and not gain! I would just tell you to up your calories so your body gets used to it (you may gain some weight), but then it will be easier to lose weight after that. And if you hit a plateau you can lower your calories while still being healthy. But there are still days that I eat under 1200, sometimes by accident or sometimes because I'm not hungry. It's ok to switch it up sometimes.

Good luck!

I appreciate the advice from everyone. And I understand that he is still growing, but he is not changing his eating or exercise habits ever. Of that I am sure.

I ask him to walk around the neighborhood with me, and he never wants to. He doesn't want to go to the gym with me and my older brother. He doesn't want to play football or any other sports. All he does is stay on the computer for probably 15 out of the 24 hours of the day playing Runescape. He hates any form of exercise, moving around, or anything that is away from the computer.

When my parents make healthy food, he doesn't eat it. Sometimes my mom has to force it into his mouth. But she gets fed up with him and let's him eat whatever he wants. If he doesn't get the food he wants, he cries.

I will not believe that we just have to cut him some slack, and soon he'll know better. He won't. He is not changing for the life of him. Obviously no one here would know that.

I think the whole pizza he ate really scares me. 2000 calories, 72 grams of fat, 36 grams of saturated fat. Plus whatever else he ate that day. He sneaks food around so we won't know. One time I hid a whole large zip-lock bag of M&Ms, he found them and ate them all.

I think he needs to see a nutritionist.

Awww that's awesome! I'm glad you are feeling good! I wish I had your luck!

EDIT: I just realized we have about the same stats! I'm like 5'5 and 165 as well and hoping to reach 135! I hope we can keep each other motivated and we can both accomplish our goals together :) good luck girrrlll!

Wonderful. I want to lose 25 by June, and if I lose 10 by the end of March, that would be fabulous.

I'm 16, 5'5", and my current weight is 165.

That's like a whole 4 months to lose 10 pounds! I'm hoping to lose 20 pounds by April, but I am really lazy and slow, so I'll be happy if I lose 10 by then :) but hey if the pounds come off then I'm not stopping them!

Good luck to us all!

OMG, perfect group for me. I was about to start one just like it!

Well I'm 16, I started my weight loss journey in June, and up until now I've lost about 17 pounds. I haven't even tried to lose more weight since like September. No diets, I don't even go to the gym much anymore. So I've been at 162-ish pounds for a while. And I really really really want to go down about 25 pounds by summer.

Height: 5'5.5
Weight: 162
Goal Weight: 135

I'm spending my summer in Lebanon. I have pretty much all of my aunts, uncles, cousins, and friends there, so I really have to slim down when I see them. I haven't been there in 3 years, next summer will make it 4. And there are so many hot guys there that I have to look good for :D

I know I can do this. Maybe since I've been maintaining for a while, once I start counting calories again and exercising, the weight will come off quicker since it's a little new to my body again. This group will be great for all of us :)

Yaaaaay, I love this group! I am SO relieved finals are over. I could never go to the gym while I had school. I'm using this month off to my advantage. I need to get back on track. I'm 16 but I started taking college classes this year so I'm considered a freshman.

First off my name is Mell!

Height: 5'5.5
Starting Weight: 178 (ew)
Current Weight: 162
Goal Weight: 135-140

I think I want to be down close to 10 pounds by the beginning of next semester.

Major: Pre-med

My calorie intake lately has been around 1500 because I have not been counting. But when I watch what I'm eating I like to keep my intake at 12-1300 ish. I hope this all goes well for us!

I completely understand what you mean. I feel the exact same way. I've lost about 15 pounds so far, and sometimes I look fatter than what I looked like to begin with. I think it's because I worry about my body so much now and what it looks like, and before I never really knew what it looked like. Well I just hope that when I slim down even more, I won't worry so much!

- Lasik surgery

Is that considered plastic surgery?  If so, I'm in.  My contact perscription is -11 in both eyes... yes, negative 11, and getting worse.

I might consider a boob lift if it didn't cost much.

hmm, it's not exactly plastic surgery, but it's surgery! WOW, I can't believe your eyes are that bad! Mine are -3.5, and I thought that was blind. I'm afraid mine are getting worse and worse as well. I'm only 16!

I've been begging my mom for nose surgery for 2 years, and I'm only 16. It sounds pathetic but I have the hugest bump on my nose (that I acclaimed from falling on the stairs when I was 5!) and I am so self-conscious of it. It takes up my whole face and I look huge! Maybe I exaggerate it more than need be, but still.

- Nose job
- Liposuction on my thighs and tummy
- Butt implants :D hahah
- Remove a birthmark on my thigh
- eyelash extensions! I remember I heard about that once.
- Lasik surgery

And let's just throw in some laser hair removal on my whole body!

Gosh I would look hot if I did all of that. I'm so pathetic! haha but I would probably never do any of that in real life. But if it's free and easy... well hey!

I'm still hoping for a nose job sometime in a few years though. I also want lasik surgery and hair removal on my arms and upper lip! That's not too bad huh?

I go with the skinny Victoria's Secret models. I constantly google Alessandra Ambrosio and Miranda Kerr. I have some picture on my latest journal entry too ;D Fat pictures of me don't really motivate me for some reason. I just love looking at what I want to be.

I say hang up those VS model pictures! Who cares if your family thinks your a lezbo! Lol, as long as it motivates you :) You can just keep them in your computer cuz that's what I do. Good luck!

Ooo, I want one!!! Something along the lines of Adrian Grenier mixed with Jay Lyon? I love the grungy look ;D
