Ht. 5'1", Start: 10 st 4, Today: 10 st 4, Goal: 7 st 10 - Hi I'm Claire and hoping someone can help me or at least give me some encouragement. I'm 14 and have been overweight since I was about 9. Before that I was quite thin and then I just started to gain weight. People started commenting on it like my parents friends. In the last two years my mum has started to criticise my weight constantly. Today she came to my room and started shouting at me because I hadn't helped washing the dishes after lunch. She shouted "You never help because youre always sitting around on your big fat bottom YOU BIG FAT THING". She says this sort of thing constantly. It's like she hates me and when she looks at me all she sees is fat. When she went out of my bedroom I cried and cried. I felt so disgusting and bad. She did something similar last week when she took me and two of my friends to school in the car. As we got out of the car she said I should start walking ...

She did something similar last week when she took me and two of my friends to school in the car. As we got out of the car she said I should start walking to school because I'm getting too fat and when she said it she made sure my two friends heard. Another time my aunts and cousins were there and I was sitting on the floor in front of her and she just suudenly said "Claire's getting fat". My aunt said that I'm not that big and my mum said "No that's definitely fat" and stuck her toe in my side. Also she was sitting on a bench in the garden one day and I went and sat beside her and she said that the bench had gone way down when I sat on it and she asked how much I weigh. I just said I don't know and went back into the house away from her. Yesterday she told me that her friend said I had put on weight. I don't feel like I can talk to her because I don't feel close to her and I don't know what to do. My dad is never around and feels like a stranger when he is there. I have only been told I'm fat one time at school and my friends don't usually say that sort of thing. I really hate my life and just feel so unhappy. I know my mum is disappointed about the way I look but I cant help feeling really angry about the things she says... I'm hoping someone has some suggestions about what I can do.

I've decided that I'll do that 4 mile thing Mon-Fri and then on Sat-Sun I'll just do stretching and pushups,situps, lunges and some dancing cause you guys are right..it becomes boring after a while lol so I'll leave the weekends to do any exercise I want! as long as I'm moving=) all is well! I still haven't lost anythinggg and it's starting to tick me off! I used to lose weight SO fast before! it's not fair, it's not fair I tell you! I wish to speak to the manager! ok, simmer down. Just feel like my efforts are getting me nowhere :( you know? it's a lousy feeling, really. I think I may approach my scale with a knife tonight or a hammer. To the people who ARE losing weight...LET ME IN ON YOUR SECRET! I must know! ok I'm going now. Hope you all did amazingly welll! pray for meee!

Ht. 5'7", Start: 215 lb, Today: 203 lb, Goal: 150 lb - okay- i'm really closer to 204, but i was excited my scale told me 204.2, which means i'm really 203.6 because it's off by at least .6 by my weight test!!!
okay- weird question of the day- anyone ever have a colonic? i've been hearing/reading a lot about them and how it cleans out your system and you lose a bit of weight from them....but they also seem really uncomfortable and temporary... any opinions? i've been thinking of getting one...

Ht. 5'8", Start: 225 lb, Today: 173 lb, Goal: 150 lb - so basically, i suck and screwed up bigtime. but its weird, because i mysteriously, and i mean mysteriously, gained like 5 pounds when i didnt change anything, so ive been miserably bingeing and ive lost 2 of those pounds? maybe its beccause i wasnt eating enough calories so when i ate more one day it held onto everything and now that im giving a constant supply of calories, its letting go? i dunno. all i know is this is craptacular but im not letting it get me down, im even more motivated now, because when i diet strictly after a few days of eating whatever i want, i end up shocking my system into losing more weight. ahh well. anyways im off to work a 10 hour shift... pleasee kill meee lol bye guys <3

Ht. 5'7", Start: 215 lb, Today: 204 lb, Goal: 150 lb - another thing is- i feel like i lose inches so slowly! so i feel like if i went by inches i would be soooooo discouraged rather than seeing at least a .5-2lb drop on the scale instead of a 0-.25 inch loss! how fast do you guys lose inches?
