Ht. 5'6", Start: 155 lb, Today: 155 lb (BMI %tile: 85), Goal: 120 lb - Okay, so my situation is one that's a tad diffcult. In the past year, I've been on tons of medication, for anxiety and depression, and all of these medications caused me to gain weight. In the past year, I've gained about 30 pounds because of medication. Recently came off a medication break, where I lost a bit of weight, but it also became apparent I can not really live a normal life without being on these medications. So I'm back on medication, and despite my healthy lifestyle, I'm struggling to mantain my weight. =/ So I'm not so much on here to ask for weight loss advice, because none of it will be to effective for me, so much as to ask how all of you manage to keep your confidence and self-esteem up, despite being heavier, because I'm having a rough time of it. (If anyone has gone through something similar, and knows something that might help me lose weight, I'd love to hear about it.) Anyway, thanks, and good luck to everyone! <3

Ht. 5'3", Start: 163 lb, Today: 132 lb (BMI %tile: 83), Goal: 110 lb - Noooooo. I only lost .2 pounds this week... Thats saddening. But i guess its ok. My summer goal was to make it to 130 or past that. And i still have two weeks to go. So i guess i'm still doing alright. I'll work harder next week i guess.

Ht. 5'5", Start: 260 lb, Today: 254 lb (BMI %tile: 98), Goal: 140 lb - Im sixteen and have struggled with my weight ever since I was about 5 yrs old. I started dieting when I was in the fourth grade. At first I dieted by myself and then In fifth grade my mom took me to weight watchers with her... I failed. After that My weight kept balloning. In sixth grade I got weighed in gym and was so embarassed my weight was 200 lbs. I felt lyk a failure which caused me to gain more weight. By eighth grade I was 225 lbs so I asked about going to a weightloss place. I lost 14 lbs but gained them back plus more during school wich put me at about 242 and then up and up. At the end of tenth grade I was at 264. Then my mom took me to The Metabolic Weightloss center. She heard this program catered to teens. So we went and my first weight was 260 I had lost 4 lbs in a few weeks before going for my first visit. then I went on the profast program which is a liquid diet. I lost... (view more)

Ht. 5'6", Start: 186 lb, Today: 155 lb (BMI %tile: 83), Goal: 130 lb - I'm so angry! I'm trying to better myself and my parents grounded me from seeing my friends AND they said I couldn't go to the gym!!! I need to exercise before school lets back in! Now I feel like I have to starve myself to reach my goal. Even if I have to throw up when I DO eat. :( I just want to lose weight and I'm going to reach my goal no matter what.

Ht. 5'8", Start: 211 lb, Today: 225 lb (BMI %tile: 98), Goal: 140 lb - Hi folks, I'm back with bad news - gained again 2 lbs. I'm getting fatter and fatter and I can't do anything against it. I've tried your good ideas, drinking water, chewing gum etc. - but I fail only after half a day. I'm afraid I'll never lose that weight but gain more. Nothing fits anymore, I'm looking ridiculous in my clothes! I'm so frustrated that I'm eating and eating... Is there anything I could do?

Ht. 5'6", Start: 186 lb, Today: 155 lb (BMI %tile: 83), Goal: 130 lb - Omg so like, last year or summer or whatever, I was huuuuuge. I'm still huge but I'm thinking I'm thinner than I was. I'm so frustrated because I wanted to lose a ton of weight before school but I lost track of things and I'm still around the same weight and I've got 25 days to lose 25 lbs. so that I can weigh 130 lbs. I spent an hour on the bike at the gym and 15 minutes on the elliptical plus I lifted a little weights. I'm waking up early tomorrow to do it again. Maybe if I exercise for 2 hrs everyday (and more when I have the strength) and try to eat only ramen, bread, water, and salad then I can do it!!! Praying works too. Man, I wish I weren't such a fatty. I'm so FAT!
