Hi,
I read your post and I too know what it is like to go through high school like that. I am 18yrs old and 5'8" and weigh 160lbs (hoping to lose 40 lbs) but the thing is I need a lot of motivation. I am so tired of the yo yo effect. I hope we could be diet buddies.

Hi DreamChaser, At your height and weight, You are almost exactly where I was in April 1999. I couldn't face it all by myself so getting a buddy is a great idea. In my case, I went to Weight Watchers and they gave me the help I needed to successfully loose about 39 lbs. so far. I am within about 5 lbs. of my goal weight. Just remember, that you should NEVER GIVE UP working toward getting into shape. You deserve to do it and I know you will feel so much more energy and confidence when you succeed. The best part, though, is that you are getting more healthy by loosing the extra weight. I sure did! Good luck! I'll be keeping an eye out for your progress.
