Thanks everyone for all of the great responses! I think that 
knowing more people who are trying to achieve what you are helps. 
I'm a member of another weight loss group, and when everyone says 
their weight, it makes me feel especially big, which is greater 
motivation. I also keep thinking of the first day of school, when I 
have to see everyone again, but I know I have at least two friends 
that I can count on! I guess I have even more motivation since my 
family and I are going to Atlanta at the end of August for a big 
convention. I'm going to meet alot of my Mom's friends, and I don't 
want to feel like the fat person in my family. But, I think it's 
going to be a bit easier. My mom is getting more serious on what 
she's eating (she's diebetic and got some numbers back, needless to 
say, they weren't the best) and my brother is on a health food 
craze. This diet seems to be the most sensible and easy one, one 
that I can do. So far I have done, what I thibk, pretty good. I 
like to think of myself as a very mature 15-year-old, especially 
when compared to some of the idiots my age. I got near ten awards 
at graduation, my mom said I won so many it was embarassing!! I 
even got a $50 savings bond from one of the awards! I know I'm a 
good person, I just hate always feeling so self-conscious (sp?). 
Anyways, I'll everyone get back to their lives!!

P.S. I've heard that doing some work around the house is good, even 
if it's not exercising. It still gets you up and moving, but I 
won't have any trouble with that today, I get to babysit my 16 month 
old niece again! I constantly run around the house with her! 
(that's good enough right?)
