Ht. 5'3", Start: 125 lb, Today: 145 lb (BMI %tile: 86) - Hello everyone. I've read most of everyone's stories and they are truly sad. Last summer I weight about 125 and I am 5 foot 3 inches I was dating a guy and he left for his mom's we were dating for about nine months he dumped me saying that I'm not what he wanted, so I became depressed sat around the house threw my roller blades away gave away my bike and decided sleeping and eating would help me. I did not pay any attention to my dogs which at that time were going for walks every day. I now weight 145 and a dress size bigger nine months later. I was at a size 5 now I am at a size seven. I ended up going to the doctor for my depression and she would not put me on any meds, because that will not help me lose any weight. She told me to exercise go for a 15-30 min walk. Go outside and do something. To me everyone has a reason why they are over weight. For me I put on the weight... (view more)Hello everyone.

For me I put on the weight because I was in love and that guy broke my heart so I ate, you have to first deal with the problems that are hurting you, then you can start to loose weight. I hope that my story will encourage you guys not to diet, but just eat better and get at least 30 min of exercise a day in. Take Care you all and I wish you guys that best of luck! Cass (view less)

Ht. 6'0", Today: 201 lb (BMI: 27), Goal: 206 lb - Hey everybody!!! Well i'm gonna start by telling you all that you're very strong, and that's good that u all lost the pounds u wanted to lose doing it the healthy way.I'm actually on a diet 2 but the problem is i have to lose about 40 pounds in just 2 weeks, i'm going to europe this summer, so i wanna look good.I started college in August 2001, and since i moved away from my family i was free, but i was also nuts. I was always eating whatever i want and stuff, and in just 2 moths i gain 50 pounds, so from 156lbs (6' tall) in august 2001 i got to 206 in october, and i gain so much weight i mean it was crazy, when i looked in the mirror i hated myself, also all that cuz i stopped exercising, i use to play basketball, and i played for 13 years, then i had to stop cuz of my knee, but now i'm back exercising and eating healthy like i was b4, and god it feels good, i lost 5 pounds in 3 days so far, i know it's alot, lol, but it's good.SO KEEP UP THE HARD WORK EVERYBODY AND BELIEVE IN YOURSELF. U CAN DO IT.GOOD LUCK

Start: 15 st 0, Today: 11 st 9 - Hi my name is Zara i'm from England at the age of 14 i weighed 15 stone i decided it was time to lose weight as i had not always been big. i started to put on weight when i was about 9 and just couldn't lose it now this time i was determined. Within 18 months of healthy eating and exercise with only 1 chocolate bar a week i lost 3 stone. At the age of 16 i weighed 12 stone but still felt over weight. I am now 17 and aiming to lose 2 stone at the moment i have been on a healthy diet and have bought a dance work out video which i have been doing every night for the last week and have lost 5 pounds. to keep to my healthy eating and exercise i just tell myself that it'll be worth it in the end and that i'm going to look the best on the beach.  (Note: 11 st 9 is 163 lb.)

I just want to encourage you all, and to help you gain a little perspective! It makes my heart hurt to see girls my age and younger consumed in misery over their outside, and feeling worthless because of it. By all means, lose weight! Be healthy! But love your body, and take good care of it. Don't let losing weight become your whole life, only let it be a small part. Take joy in your hobbies, do things that you love to do. Heck, take up a new one! I love vollyball, acting, and painting. And I love old movie stars and the 50's! redecorate your room. Let how you dress and act reflect your personal style. The more amazingly interesting you become, the more people want to know you and are attracted to you. It's the truth, I promise, but do it for YOU! I promise that people care about you, never insult yourself by underestimating your worth. You are worth more than the moon and stars!

i think most ppl here hav a serously messed up self image. i swear, most ppl should figure thing out like that. and those pplust look lucky ya'll b\c there problems u can't SEE! if someone tells u some thing like that just ignore them, they are probably doing it di feel better about there own problems which believe it or not may be a LOT worse then urs!!!! i know this b\c i listen. i am overweight too, but there are ppl who are just lucky, i bet most of ur problems besides that ur overweight are nothing, and i know that b\c, i had a LOT WORSE problems when i was really overweight, but really guys, ignore them, then talk about it w\ a friend who will understand!! it worked 4 me, and can work 4 n e 1 else!!!
