Ht. 5'6", Start: 225 lb, Today: 225 lb (BMI %tile: 98), Goal: 225 lb - I used to use this site for weight loss help and such, but over the past couple of years I've actually become pretty ill. I gained a lot of weight, which at this point I will not be able to lose (on a lot of medications that cause weight gain, as well as more often than not so stiff and in so much pain I can barely walk, so eating right alone isn't enough, and nothing else is currently possible for me). It's really hard to deal with, especially the lack of control. I can't remember a time when I didn't feel like I was too big, but gaining 100 pounds in four years due to things that came with me getting sick (which comes with a plethora of other challenges as well) has been more than a little difficult for me. Despite it not being any fault of my own, I do get made fun of for it. And it's just hard to be heavy, period, in today's world. I can never find clothes that...

So I suppose I was just wondering if anyone had any tips or advice on how to keep one's self-esteem up, despite being heavy. I'm at my wit's end struggling with my self-loathing that is mostly due to my size. I'm not really sure how much longer I can go on like this, so I need some help figuring out how to handle it...

I just about about 800 cals worth of multi grain cheerios- not counting the milk. Yes i ate most of the box. I was so bored that i couldn't stop, i also binged on some girl scout cookies and 6 cheese sticks. I don't know what to do, and as hard as i try to push the water i can't get past 6 cups of water, it just starts to make my tummy bloated and hurt. Is that bad? Do you guys think i will be able to drink more as time comes? I sure hope so. I aso havent lost anything, which i expected, but im just so disapointed in myself.

Ht. 5'4", Start: 189 lb, Today: 189 lb (BMI %tile: 97), Goal: 135 lb - I haven't been on here in forever! Well for a sad update I've lost weight then put it back on...then lose then gain it back. It's finally gotten to the point where I am sick of this diet roller coaster and I think I'm ready for change. My Grandma is taking me to New York this summer and I really want to be skinnier by then. I'll be sure to update as often as possible and hopefully we'll all do well on our weight loss adventures!!!

Ht. 5'2", Start: 190 lb, Today: 190 lb (BMI %tile: 98), Goal: 110 lb - I want to lose weight so bad, but I can't start today or tomorrow, I was thinking about starting monday by eating the same foods but eat less portions and cut out my addiction to chips,but when the time comes to me wanting to switch to organic foods,It's going to be hard because my mom will probably not like it because I've always tried to try fad diets and never stay consistent, what can I do?

Ht. 5'4", Start: 227 lb, Today: 227 lb (BMI %tile: 98), Goal: 180 lb - Hey everyone, so basically, ive always wanted to be 130 since i was age 13. In freshman year i was around 180 and then everyday after school i went to McDonalds with some older kids who could drive, we would hang out and eat everday. Then i ended up into the 200s then the 220s. Now im pretty much dieing to be 180 again. I really want this, and i have all the tools to do it, its just makeing myself do it. Anyone get where im coming from? Ive been reading the pots and i feel like im the biggest girl here :c. Ive decided im going to drink 8 cups of water a day like people are supposed to do, i just hope i can make myself do it.
I fersure wanna be more healthy, but honstley, i want a boyfriend, because ive never had one (other than the internet, yeah i know pathetic). Im starting tomarrow, and im not sure what i want to do for excersise yet, but the better eatting deff starts tomarrow. I hope someone acutally reads this haha, good luck to everyone!

I don't know how to rise above this..
