ok, i am a 19 year old female, i have been with my boyfriend for 4 years, and i used to be in really good shape... 3 years ago i weighed 140 pounds, and i am 5 foot 4...i was within my range of healthy weight and i felt confortable...now, i am still 5 foot 4, but i weigh 195 pounds, and i am no longer comfortable with my appearance... i fell discusting..and no one wants to feel that way. the reasons for my weight gain are i had to move in with my dad bc of problems in my mothers house that where not suitable for any child...abuse mostly. we never had any food in the house and i was forced to run around after my younger brother who was 3 at the time because my mother was too busy on the computer all the time. i was a smoker too on top of it, i went to talk to my doctor and he told me i had to quit smoking because i had asthma and it was making it worse. so i was quiting smoking, i also started taking the birth control pill. the birth control has side affects, one is weight gain or weight loss. with my luck , it was the gain. i gained about 15 pounds after starting the pill. on top of that i was quitting smoking and was munching out really bad. before i knew it, i had gained 50 pounds...within like a year... i have now been this way for 2 years, and only because i dont know how to do this weight loss think, i even went on herbal magic, and i gave up on it... i went to the gym, but working took up too much time i couldnt make it within the hours it was open...so now i keep telling myself imma loose weight, and i keep trying, but its just not working, i need a jump start and i am hoping someone here can help me out....i want to be how i was 3 years ago...i know rome wasnt built in a day, and i dont expect this weight loss to be quick and painless either.but would like it to happen as quick as possible....ANY ADVICE? a 19 year old female shouldnt fell this way about herself! no one should... i would have added a pic, but i dont have any less then 100 kb...
 
Hey,

You've made the first step by realizng you need to change. There's lots of great people around here to help. So herbal magic doesn't work eh? I've always seen them around, even went in for a consultation, but never went through with it.
 
i know alot of people that herbal magic did work for, and i did lose 10 - 15 pounds on it but i gained 7 pounds of what i lost back... so it did work, but i think it was all water weight i was losing and a little bit of fat maybe...
 
I know what you mean when you say you feel disgusting, because thats exactly how I feel about myself right now, but this is a great place to come and get support!
 
I am in St. John's, Newfoundland, and I must say we are having a good winter so far, not much snow at all, I can see the grass, so its been good here so far, but its cold, and when the snow does come, I know I wont be in the mood to do anything!
where r u too in Canada?
 
i live in Ontario... but i also have another question... how would i find out how many calories i need to eat per day for me to lose weight? where could i find this out? i am really interested in also knowing if only eating 1,000 calories a day would make you feel hungry all the time... or however many it is that i would have to eat to lose weight
 
I used this site

When I worked it out there, it was the same amount my trainer told me to eat as well per day, so i guess its right!
 
canadian girl , thank you for that site, it told me i should do 1646 cals a day or 1560 for EXTREME fat loss so im going with that one! 1560 a day... but why are people saying it is supposed to be 1,200 cals a day? is that just what THEY chose or were they told that much?
 
i bought a digital scale

i went out and bought a digital scale because my scale at home was giving me a different reading everytime i stood on it...so i brought it home, stood on it , looked down, and felt like i was going to throw up. the scale read 210 pounds... 16 pounds more then i thought was...i am so depressed and this really was a reality check for me... i have to beat this. but i am so sad i am MY HIGHEST WEIGHT EVER AND I THOUGHT I LOST WEIGHT. when i was on herbal magic i went down to 185...

i need support...im depressed!:(
