Topic : Diet

I'm extremely obese and I can't seem to lose any weight. I'm a 13-year-old girl and I weight 119 pounds. I've been trying to lose weight for a few months, and I can't get anywhere below 119. No matter how much I try, nothing ever changes.

Well, I am starting over with my diet again. I always start with a positive attitude, but when you have so much weight to lose its hard to keep motivated for so long. I am 39 over 400 lb. and depressed that I can't seem to stay on a diet. My bmi is too much for surgery, so I need to loose about 80 lb. just to qualify for the weight loss surgery. I am a grandma, my grand daughter is 9 months, she is going to be my motivation this time. Wish me luck everyone, ill need it.

Desperately seeking motivation

J/k I'm not obese. I was just overreacting. And I only weigh lik 118 now.

 I would love to know how you lost that weight so quickly. I lost 27 pounds several years ago with  some of the Atkins princples but have recently gained back around 10 pounds. I work  out 5 days a week and am very active, raising my 10 year old grandson. I am 57 years old so I'm sure that plays into it but I am getting desperate to lose these pounds. I weight around 175 and would like to be around 135. I would appreciate any advice you can share with me.

would love to have a copy of your diet

thanks

Hello everyone... Im new to this board, never even been to this sight b4 today.  I have 4 girls, prior to the girls I have always been sickly thin never watching what I ate. I gained 50 w/ the 1st, then 80 with the twins that hung on for 5 yrs, then with my 5 yo I gained just over 100 lbs( bedrest and steroids) but it took me 2 1/2 yrs to loose (doing VERY strict atkins) down to a size 6  & 134 lbs.  I have now after 3 yrs gained 30 back and I do not just eat carbs all the time, I very strickly regulate my carbs, and just seem to be getting bigger and bigger.  I feel totally out of control. I tend to have a legalistic presonality~all or nuthin~and if I dont get control of this, I fear Ill be a size 24 again, especially with the holidays comming. Has anyone else overcome life after Atkins??? I am in such a battle.

Hi all!  I'm new to this board, and desperatly need support.  I weigh 179 lbs, well over my normal 125.  I struggle internally everyday between wanting to lose weight, and wanting to be happy with myself just the way I am. 

Although I knew I was gaining weight, I was happy with my body up until an arguement with a neighbor (about 16 years old) when something was said to me that tore me apart...He said, "Shut up you fat B****, why don't you take the FAT out of your ears and listen?"  This was well over a year ago, and it still brings tears to my eyes.  Honestly, I'd still like to wring his neck for tearing my happiness apart like that.

At my heaviest, 202 pounds and only 5'3", my doctor said nothing.  Does this mean I'm at an okay weight, and I just need some confidence?  Or do you think it means my doctor is neglecting a serious problem?

I'm not sure how to figure out my BMI, but I'm sure it would help me figure things out a little better.  Can any of you help me with that?

Also...at 202 pounds, I lost 40 in a matter of 2 months through LA Weightloss.  (And it took over 6 months to gain back the 20 that I did.)  It was expensive, but it works.  Anyone with a good grand to spend should definatly try it if it's in your area.

Best of luck to you all.
