not losing weight and being a teenager sucks!!!

[goal65]

with the problems of being a teenager sucking already lol losing weight just adds onto the mess of your everyday life. luckily im not so stupid as to act stupid and careless. it is the summertime. the first summer where i havent been home much and as i've previously stated, im enjoying it which to me is important. i also wanted to maintain a steady weightloss which i have not =( i ran out of my centrum pills again (last week) and did not lose (i stayed at 315 for about 8 days) now, i started the pill on monday and i'm back down to 310! the pills must do something to my metabolism or are just giving me the neutrients im lacking. once i see the scale pick up, it makes me want to work harder and motivates me. i've decided to set a mini goal. i'd like to be 299 by august 6th. school starts sept. 8th and i'm starting my senior year. with senior sing 2006 (our schools muscial which is run by the students) and yearbook editor, im looking for what should hopefully be a successful year. im just worried because august is going to be quite the party month. now that i drive anyway, i find myself staying sober and also for atkins. i also am starting a job with coldwell banker real estate on august 3rd which is also great because now i'll have more money than i usually had! WOO! anyway, what im trying to say is despite all the hard work, i would like to prevail and come out on top. afterall, i am doing this all for one weekend (prom weekend) but in reality, im doing this for the rest of my life.

Are you measuring? How many inches have you lost? If you haven't been measuring, then start. Go to www.mybodycomp.com and enter your measurements, then remeasure every 2 weeks. There are times when the scale doesn't move much, but those inches keep melting off. An example, you ask? Over in the Second Timers forum, we had someone lose 2 lbs in 2 weeks. She also lost EIGHTEEN INCHES. Go figure!

i probably had been losing inches because i was still having people notice i lost the weight. well, it could still just have been noticable! im back down to 308 this morning! which is my lowest low yet so hopefully, with some strict meal planning and exercise today, i'll break that low! a few days ago i went to my neighbors wake and put on my size 50 suit pants.. they slid on without unzipping and unbuttoning and they began to fall down.. i was so happy because in january, they were SO tight i ripped a hole in them. so i know its changing, slowly buy surely. i've come to a point now where my shirts look too big on me.. i can still somewhat pull them off but soon i wont be able to, they look like pajama shirts haha!!

goal65- don't give up! The weight will come off but over it's own time and you have to commit to this healthy lifestyle. Goodluck with your new job and school! Oh and by saying no to alcohol NOW you are saying YES to alcohol later-- like when you're 21!

I know prom must be important, and being a teen myself, I know sometimes it can suck, but lol I'm sure the adults will agree with me when I say responsibilty is worse. It's a great idea to start losing weight now, rather than worrying about it once you get older, when health problems are more crucial...good luck in everything, success is right around your cornerr
