I'm turning 16 in 2 months (June 15) and I'm desperate in losing weight. But anyway if anyone has any ideas on a theme B-day party for teens that are trying to lose weight, please shout them out! I was thinking of a bowling party or a party at the movie theater but I'm thinking twice about those ideas.

Ht. 5'3", Start: 135 lb, Today: 138 lb (BMI %tile: 85), Goal: 110 lb - okay so i have been using this site since the end of august last year and i have been completely lazy and have not put in an effort to lose weight. i really disappointed myself. i really wanted to lose weight by this summer. i'm not happy by the way i look and i definitely want to change that, so i'm making it a major point to lose 28 pounds by my sophomore year in on september 9th. but even if i don't reach my goal, i definitely want to reach my goal weight by this christmas. so if anybody on here had successful weight loss stories, fill me in on how to get started and help me get closer to my dream body :)

Ht. 5'2", Start: 151 lb, Today: 147 lb (BMI %tile: 93), Goal: 125 lb - Hey, I'm new here. I've spent the last few days reading posts, and I felt that it would be good for me to post something. First of all, I think this site is really great, and it's really helpful. I've always been overweight, and I hate it, but eventually I thought that I should just accept it and I would not be able to change that. I have tried to lose weight before, over summer vacations, but it never worked, probably because I didn't even understand how to go about it. My weight has also contributed to my lack of self esteem and shyness in school, which has increased since entering high school this year. It also kind of saddens me that my mom is the same height as me, and about 20 pounds lighter. But about a month ago, I had a realization hit me hard about what I am doing to myself. Since then, I've been doing a lot more exercise, replacing all snacks with fruits, and cutting out junk ... (view more)Hey, I'm new here.

I find that rewarding oneself with something not too healthy once a week is pretty helpful with keeping down urges. So far, I've lost about 4lb. :) I hope to reach my goal by the end of summer, before school starts. It feels nice to open up about this, and thank you for letting me share. Good luck to all of you, you can do it!! ^___^ (view less)

Ht. 5'3", Start: 175 lb, Today: 168 lb (BMI %tile: 98), Goal: 140 lb - Hey guys. A) Another pound!!! It might be water weight, but, whatever, it's weight, right? I'm going swimming today...and I found a bathing suit that makes me look 20 POUNDS THINNER! Seriously, no joke. :-)
B) My mom says that since I've gotten a lot taller from when I started, I would be way too skinny at 130. I tried to say that I wouldn't because I started at 140 and wasn't skinny but then she brought up the height thing. Do you think she's right? I'm changing my goal weight to 140. I'll change it again if I don't look the way I would like.
P.S. My short-term goal (for now) is 15 pounds by June 24. I've lost 7 already!

Ht. 5'3.5", Start: 145 lb, Today: 145 lb (BMI %tile: 88), Goal: 130 lb - okay, so i'm not exactly "fat" just not really in shape right now i guess. i'm built not small, but not really big either. i look like 140 probably. for my 16th bday (may 4th) i'm joining anytime fitness ( you have to be 16 to get a key). i would like to be 130-ish around end of august, or sooner. i would just like to get in shape (family history of diabetes) more. how many times per week should i go to anytime fitness? or what would be ideal? and could i be 130-ish sooner then August? thanks :)

Ht. 5'5", Start: 193 lb, Today: 193 lb (BMI %tile: 98), Goal: 120 lb - ok so i have been overweight my whole life. but then 3 years ago i was 145 pounds and i got down to 128 and the was the lowest i have ever been and since then i have been trying to lose the weight andthen after a while i just gave up but i started again today. Me and my mom have always done it together but she lost all her weight and i dont know if i can do it. the hardest part about it all is everyone at school is so skinny except a few other girls but they aren't as big as i am. i feel like i dont have any support and i no my parents are but they have no idea what im going through. its hard to be a overweight kid and i always felt like i was the only one that was going through this.

I had a whole wheat bread for breakfast and a salad for lunch. Mmm...it was a yummy salad, too. lol. Well, I hope everyone is doing AWESOME! Remember, you're too far along to take orders from a cookie. ;-)
