My friends are all ridiculously skinny so I can't do this with them. I just need someone who is doing the same sort of thing to keep me motivated.

ahhhhhhh!!! we are kinda sorta twinsss. ill send you a message

@neoncupcakes 

you are my twin. i get what you are going through 100%. Its really late here and I'm on the internet? Problem is, tomorrow's my last day of school; I'm to excited to go to sleep!

Also...I kind of challenge myself almost exactly like you do. My parents say they dont care about grades because I probably put enough pressure on myself haha. with all honors, AP courses, advanced math, piano (eight years now), sports, social life, and everything, times get hectic!

My advice? If I really really need it, I take a nap. It does mess up your internal clock but I dont care. If I am really tired, I am going to take a nap! 

Studying for exams:

Instead of going to bed at two and waking up maybe about 7 for school, try going to bed at midnight and wake up 45 minutes early. Yes, it is still late to go to bed but better than what you're doing at the moment. 

When/if you get home after the exam, refuel in all aspects. Have a snack and take a nap. You'll feel energized and ready to go.

LAST DAY OF SCHOOL TOMORROW. I BET YOURS IS CLOSE TOO AND THEN ITS SUMMER TIME! (9 hours, 40 minutes, 15 seconds and counting)

that BMI sounds awfully low for someone so tall, and you should not be trying to loose any more weight. Personally, you DO sound like you are developing an ED and i think you should seek help before it gets too out of hand, which it will. Yes, in my opinion 1500 calories is a good amount for most people to loose weight on. you are trying to maintain and 1500 is far too little for you to maintain on. Push your calories up to 1800-1900, count for a while but gradually steer away from counting and try to rely more on your body to tell you what it needs. 

thanks for the advice! I have always been small...everyone thought I was going to be the short one (I did too!) turns out, we were all wrong. people who I only see once a year were shocked. I grew immensely and kind of just sprung up. 

I'm still growing. Thanks for the advice! I will definitely increase my calorie consumption!

Try to avoid bananas, grapes, raisins, and pineapples. Sorry, but they make you weight more because they cause you to hold water. So they aren't unhealthy, they just make you weigh more.

please explain how you got to this conclusion hahaha even if you hold water, you lose water weight easily. bathroom, sweating, etc

The minimum caloric intake for a teenager should NOT be 800. That is incredibly dangerous to your health.

A healthy target number depends on how active you are. in order to lose weight, I would suggest consuming 1500 (healthy!) calories every day. Your body uses 2000 calories to function each day, so by eating 1500, you burn at least 500 calories each day and will be sure to lose weight as long as you are following a proper health style (healthy eating, exercise, etc...)

But to make a long story short, 1500 is a solid number. But can be increased when you increase your exercise and decreased when you become less active (both in moderation!)

hope this helps!

i concur! I've been eating about 1,500 calories a day and have lost five pounds in five weeks. I don't even feel like I have drastically changed my diet or anything...I just avoid cheese and oreos at times and other fattening foods 

gooood luck!

For women the rule of thumb is 100 pounds for the first five feet and 5 pounds for each remaining inch. You should be around 135 pounds. You are not fat. If you still think that you are fat, dont lose, tone! If you get any lighter you will be underweight. Do not lose. You are beautiful just the way you are.

yes yes yes!! tone tone tone. dont lose. hey im 15 5'7 and 115. I actually was 120 when i first came on this and lost about a pound a week. now i want to tonneee. you know, flatter stomach and all that stuff. 

if you want to be buddies, just message me! I kinda want someone I can generally message from time to time about food, exercises, and that sort of stuff. I'm past the losing weight part. Now I want to maintain and eat watermelon all day long and not be embarrassed by my huge food baby :) 

I would check out the outlets near you for the best deals money wise. The closest one to me is over thirty minutes away so when we go, we make the best of it. 

Where I usually get clothes/dresses from

Lord and taylor

BP (nordstroms teen store)

Cache

American Eagle? Hollister? Macy's? Fitch? White House Black Market?

Good luck!!

That guy sounds like an absolute jerk. 100% better off without him. We all do care for the people we use to like so what ever you need to do, just go with it. Follow your instincts and hopefully everything will work out
