Does anyone have a problem with losing weight and keeping pounds off? I feel like I'm a Noah's Ark of caloric intake, I consume two of every species of pizza out there. I eat small in the day, but then I get hungry at night and eat too much...

~*Hannah_Lee*~ · 04-22-2003, 12:02 AM

I'm short (5'2) so every pound shows up on me. I've been counting calories for 2 months and excercising, but it hasnt worked yet. I'm getting really frustrated too. I'm trying to do the weight-watchers stuff, but I don't think it's working either.

AnaheimPMWitch · 04-22-2003, 01:36 AM

Okay Y'all are gonna HATE me for this
but I dont have that problem AT ALL I have REALLY good metabolism for a 30 year old I'm told I'm 5'3" and wiegh about 105 pounds and I can eat as much as I want whenever I want
but I KNOW I KNOW it will all catch up with me someday hehehe JUST let me ENJOY this NOW okay

I do that too, but I eat like a bird. A little here...then a little later....then a little later. I hate eating huge amounts at once.

But yeah, I'm 5'4", 133, so I'm not a stick.

I have the Same problem Captain Blair I can go all day without eating. At night I get cravings to eat. I have been overweight my whole life.

I'm having a really hard time losing weight. I'm only 16 and I just cant do it. There was a point in time where I lost like 40lbs. and it was ok for then. I've kept that weight off for like a year and then I stopped excercising. I think I've gained maybe 10lbs since. But I'm having a hard time getting into the habit of eating right and exercising again. My goal is to lose 65lbs and it feels like its sooooo far away. I keep tellin myself "Tara you can do this." and then it just doesnt happen. But i seriously have a problem losing weight....

Yeah, I'm like you in that respect. I don't eat a lot but everything I do eat is junk, yet somehow I manage to remain 112lbs (I'm 5ft5).
You're right though - we will need to be careful cos it'll catch up to us someday. My father was as thin as a rake when he was my age but he's pretty flabby now. I don't wanna end up like him!!

I'm in no position to give diet advice to anyone. I don't mess around with dieting anymore cos I had a bit of a problem with food (I don't like the term 'eating disorder' but I guess that's what it was) when I was a teenager and I got really ill.

*PinkLady* · 04-22-2003, 04:00 PM

I cannot lose weight to save my life. I'm trying my hardest - I exercise regularly and eat a lot less fat/carbs/etc. than most people. But nothing works. God, I hate my body - there's way too much of it.

Titania · 04-22-2003, 04:32 PM

ive never tried to lose a lot of weight (im 5'2' and 102 pounds) but i dance and my studio makes it pretty impossible for us to gain weight!

but i do know what they have others do in order to maintain their weight:
*drink water- im talking a LOT of water, water makes it possible to lose weight while sodas/juices make you gain
*dont eat during the last 4 hours before you go sleep. (if you go to bed at 11, dont eat after 7) that may be your problem if you eat a large meal late in the day.
*soup as opposed to sandwiches when possible (a lot fewer cals)
*work out, but dont go crazy for a short time and then stop- that will cause definite weight gain

OMG I should be the spokeswoman for Jenny Craig or something! LOl. I've wanted to lose weight since I was in 3rd grade I believe. Each year I seem to gain more and more. Ugh! It sucks! I want to lose it, yet I dont have the motivation to. Ill eat healthy, but then I cant resist the snacks!! The only good thing is is that I dont like sweets and since I do the foodshopping, Ive cut down on the chips and stuff. Its not really a matter of WHAT I eat, but how MUCH I eat of it. Stop eating 4 hours before you go to bed?!? Riiiiiight. Ok, given I go to bed @ like, 2ish that means 8pm. Im always eating a snack during Conan or Ill even bring something upstairs with me. Ive gotten better though!

I like water, but only Poland Spring (picky, picky

)- I refuse to drink tap water. Ick. I got Slim Fast bars-- yea they suck- way too sweet. And the shakes?

Gross! I dont have a good metabolism never did, and I hate the outdoors with a passion. I think my worst enemy is the TV and computer. Each year I tell myself Im gonna do something about it, but then the next day its like eh whatever who cares!! I need to motivate myself though to lose SOMETHING-- even 1 dress size would be nice. The thought of becoming bulimic or anorexic sickens me though and they have never crossed my mind. Im not that desperate! But yea, enough rambling lol. I think the best advice I could give is to just drink more water and stop the sodas. Try to eat more veggies (without the creamy dressings - which is my worst enemy!) in the raw, and eat more fruits. Yah, exercise is good, but Id rather eat healthy and do nothing, than to run 5 miles everyday and eat Fast Food everyday.

¤I Love Clay Aiken¤ · 04-22-2003, 10:46 PM

Two things:

Dont go back to your old ways. If you decide to make a change- you need to stick with it!! Once you lose the weight you have to stick with your program to keep it off.

Dont get into diet fads! Yah, you get faast results, but you get even a faster gain after its all done. Whats the point?!?

Thats my biggest problem. I drink so much damn soda. I'll usually drink like 2-3 cans of soda a day. But I'm trying to cut down. Now I try to drink only one can of soda at a certain time during the day. like I pick the time I wanna drink the soda and thats it. And eventually, I wanna eliminate it completely...
And exercise- I can do sit-ups and stuff like that. But running and going outside is like hell for me. Running is really hard cuz I have asthma and I cant breathe. Walking is okay but its so boring. But i found that sit-ups worked good for me. You wont see results right away but it works...
Also, dont eat your food really fast. Eat really slow. You get full quicker.
See I can give you all the advice you want but when it comes to actually doing it, its really hard to get into the swing of things.
