losing weight (i bet you get a number of these :P )
ok well i'm 15f i'm 5'8
when i got weighed like during the summer i was 220ish. told me to lose 20 pounds..which seemed like a biiig challenge for me! D: anyways..9th grade now. switched schools and now i have this new P.E. thing where all we do is go in the weight room thats like a gym! you got your treadmill those bike thingies an ab cruncher pec deck and all this other stuff i dunno what its called :P but i like it a lot! but on thursdays when class is longer we run 2 laps around the track or the "fun run" (not fun!)...i'm not even gonna get into that XP
so when the end of the semester came we weighed ourselves and did the mile and crap like that.. i weighed in as 205.. i still felt like crap though cuz my new school is in LAGUNA BEACH!! everyone is uber skinny and pretty and says gnarly!! D: i felt fat.....reallly fat T_T
a while after that..i don't know if i did anything but..when we weighed outselves again for the presidential test i was 200! happy day! :D
i'm wondering if its normal though..for 5'8 i mean
my parents want me to be 140 so ima aim for that but i need to know...i still feel really fat
heeeellp i know this was long D:

Okay, so what is your question..? Do you want to lose weight, or are you just celebrating your weight loss? I'm confused, but anyways. With the weight loss:
- COMPLETELY redo your diet. No more processed foods. What I mean by processed foods is, eggs come from chickens, apples grow on trees, so where did your poptart come from? If your answer is Aisle 7, then THAT is what I mean by processed food. You need to start incorporating more lean protein (skinless chicken), vegetables, fruits, and water. No more overindulging in cookies, cake, fruit snacks, those fake 'jam packed with good-for-you' supposed 'healthy' cereal bars, etc. Soda is a killer, and you need to slowly wean yourself from it. I'm telling you. Would you rather eat all of that and feel like crap at the end of the day, or would your rather do good for your body by providing it with nutrients and feel great? You know that saying "You are what you eat"? Well, it's true! To find out how many calories you need daily, go here: [Link](Mouse over link to see full location)
Since you are a little heavier than usual, you should probably consult a doctor. I, myself, am obviously not a doctor. When it comes to losing weight safely, they would be able to help you out with that. However, I can help with things like diet and exercise.
- Exercise! Yup, I said it. There is no way that you can avoid it. I applaud you for taking advantage of your school's weight room. If it's there for you, then why not use it? Great job. Anyways, as I was saying. Although some exercise is better than no exercise, you should probably think about doing more of it. If you don't want to join a gym, you could always look into at home exercise DVDs. Check your local library and look into some that you are interested in. If you decide to purchase any, make sure you check the reviews at www.amazon.com.
I cannot stress this enough, but if you don't already, you need to start drinking a lot of water!

I agree with the other person. Since you're tall, being 200 isn't all that bad. It can put a lot of pressure on people to be thinner, especially when you're in a place like Laguna Beach, lol, but just keep up what you're doing now. Work out, eat healthy, and go down to a weight you're comfortable at. Not what your parents want. It's not up to them, it's up to you.
Good Luck! :)

Sweetie you are doing your best and because of that I applaud you. You have to remember you are a tall girl and 200 on you doesn't look 200 on a girl who is 5'1.
Keep doing what your doing, its working. And for your parents to tell you they want you to be 140 that's ugly parenting.
Keep Faith. I am so proud of you.
