Well I hope then that you can see just how many people are concerned! If you just try to digest the good advice people have written (ignore the couple of mean-spirited ones) and start by making small changes that aren't overwhelming, I'm sure you'll see results that you will like!

Thank you very much! I knew that in the first place i would never ever leave this site! I will NEVER had a bad day just bad moments Im going strong now and I have taken what all these people said into cosideration and plan to go grocery shopping real sooon!

I'm glad to hear that you're not quitting. Just always try to remember what everyone said here that controlling weight is not just about calories but eating healthier.

I wish this website existed when I was your age (actually I wish the internet in general had been around back then :laugh: )

You're young and you presumably live with your parents. Have you discussed this with them? Are they aware that you are trying to lose weight & adjusting their shopping accordingly. When I was your age I lived with a mother who couldn't cook for s*** and 3 days a week we had takeaway. Thankfully I was super skinny then, my problem was I wanted a little meat on my bones, but had I been heavy then it would have been a nightmare. I think you need to speak to who ever deals with the food shopping and cooking, show them this site and get them on board. It'll be a heck of a lot easier for you if you are all on the same page.

As you're likely to find yourself in situations when you're friends are scoffing calorie laden food, then plan ahead and have healthier options to hand. I'm not suggesting you pull out carrot sticks, but if you carry fruit to nibble on when you feel peckish, then you'll find it much easier to reject high fat/high sugar food when it's offered to you. My trick also is to just say "no thanks I'm not hungry" rather then "no thanks I'm on a diet". If you say you're not hungry people don't persist with offering you food, if you say you're on a diet they tend to say "oh go on, just one, etc".

I'm glad you've not left. Stick with it & keep chatting to us when you need support. Remember this is going to be a long term thing, there are plenty of quick fixes to the problem of excess weight, but they're not healthy, this is as good as it gets :flowerforyou:

She has deactivated her original account and started with a new username. A complete fresh start to distance herself from her old self perhaps?

don't let frustration get to you, otherwise you will go back to your old eating habits or even binge eat. the only advise i can give is to watch your diet more closely. walking is a great exercise to tone legs and lose weight. it is the most effective.

I started on the 3rd also and I have only lost 7 pounds...but I am going for 2 pounds a week...so that isn't bad. But your body will just put a stop on weight lost for some reason, but don't give up...you will start loseing again.
