Can NOT Loose Weight
Okay I am 15yrs old, female, and I weigh like 145+ pounds, which is NOT healty because I am only 5ft 3.5in. When I was like 11yrs old I was like 5ft 1in and 185pounds so I have lost weight but ever since I reach 145pounds like a year ago I can not loose anymore weight. I excercise and eat healty (I used to be a vegitarian but now I just don't eat red meat) but none of that is helping me loose weight. I am constantly stressed out all of the time and rarely happy because I am so fat. Where I live everyone is so weight concious and not afraid to point out your defects so that does not help my stress or self esteem but seriously, what is wrong with me? Why can't I loose weight???

You're stressed, and stress can make it harder and harder to lose weight. Don't call yourself fat, because it will make you more depressed. You have to keep your chin up and say you're ready to lose weight and you WILL lose weight, you just need to stop calling yourself fat. You need to get organized so you can be less stressed. You can do what makes you happy, like sports, or just playing around outside. When you are stressed, you won't lose weight, because your body and mind is too tense. You have to take it easy, keep eating healthy and exercising, and you can start losing wait again. And don't call yourself fat, you lost 40 pounds, you're on the right track, and you're definately on your way.

Just keep up doing what you had been doing.
Don't worry about what people say!! They say stuff to make themselves feel better- sometimes there even jealous when they say stuff.
Be proud of yourself for losing the weight! Don't put your self down! You are a yr. older than me and about the same height. I weigh 5 pounds less than you. My doctor said I should weigh 136. Which means I'm now considered over-weight-by 4 pounds.
So don't feel bad!!
And a lot of people these days (at least ones I know) are either over-weight or toooooo skinny!
And remember some guys like it when girls arent skinny! If I was you I wouldnt really sweat it just try to stay at what wieght the doctor said you should be at! If you are only like 2-4 pounds over wieght don't sweat it that bad!
Good luck!! = ] And no you arent alone in this situation! ((hope i helped)

I'm at a weight loss plateau here too. So I know what you mean. This morning I looked at how much I weighed and almost freaked since I didn't loss any weight in like a week or 2.
Best thing is sometimes weight loss is a psychological thing. Might not make sense but it is. There's this book out by Bob Greene (Best Life Diet) who says that you have to evaluate why you eat, and why you might be in that frame of mind. For me personally, you're better off paying no mind to the people where you live. That's when you'll start dieting and working out like a freak since everyone is so concious how they look.
Since you might be at a plateau you might want to add 10% to your exercise. If you do cardio for 30 minutes, now do it for about 33 minutes. If you do 10 reps usually for crunches do 11. For the diet, maybe reevaluate what you're eating too, you maybe want to switch some items for healthier ones if possible. (Like whole wheat items to whole grain items and such.)
My best advice is just look at your situation. You've done such a good job at losing weight from the past. You have to get back in that frame of mind that you were in 4 years ago. You want to lose weight since it'll mean a healthier you. Do it for yourself and keep telling yourself that. You've done so much so pat yourself on the back. It'll help you want to stay in the zone and lose more weight.
Good luck and I hope this helps you. Congrats on your success so far, and if you want message me about anything further. :)

I know what you are going through. I have lost 82 pounds this year and have hit a plateau myself.
So, your question made me go look for myself as well. :)
This site has some great tips. I will give you the search box too because there are a lot more.
