Ht. 5'6", Start: 245 lb, Today: 245 lb (BMI %tile: 98), Goal: 170 lb - I have been overweight for as long as I can remember. I was 12 when I really started gaining a lot of weight. I was going through emotional struggles and I hardly noticed the weight gain. Then all of the sudden I'm 13 and I weigh more than an adult man should. I felt so ashamed. I turned to my mom for support, and ever since then we have been on a dieting rollercoaster. Now I'm 16 and I am embarassed of my body. I have had some minor weight loss success, but I've never reached my goal and I always gain the pounds back, plus more. My main problem is overeating. I eat when I'm bored or stressed or depressed. I feel like I'm always eating! I'm bored so I go grab a bag of chips, and after I eat half the bag, I get mad at myself and feel discouraged. I'm sick of this rollercoaster! I just want to be healthy and fit! I want to feel confident and beautiful! I feel... (view more)I have been overweight for as long as I can remember.

I feel like I have tried everything, I've been on so many different diets and I can never stick with it. I want to be smaller sooo bad, but its as if one part of me says "I want to be healthy", but the other part says "I want food more"! Well now its time for the second part of me to shut up! I am in desperate need of weight loss tips from those of you who have succeeded. I am ready to finally get healthy. Thanks so much for reading my story and any tips would be greatly appreciated :) Thank you! (view less)

Ht. 5'2", Start: 140 lb, Today: 178 lb (BMI %tile: 98), Goal: 135 lb - I've completely fallen off of the wagon. Instead of losing the five pounds I set out to do I've gained 38! My boyfriend is a lot more physically affectionate now, and I think he likes me this way. And my doctor said that I appear to be perfectly healthy. But society says being fat is bad- advice?

Ht. 5'5", Start: 245 lb, Today: 222 lb (BMI %tile: 98), Goal: 155 lb - Hey guys :) didn't do so well the past few days. I was staying with some friends and had to eat some stuff that I normally wouldn't. But I ate small portions and I'm still losing, so I think I'm okay. I've been a little down though.
I keep reminding myself to lose weight for me, but sometimes it's hard when all guys seem to want is skinny girls. It puts me under pressure, like I need to lose weight to get their attention. I just want a guy who will love me for who I am, not how I look.

I've just started this weight loss journey, but hopefully by the end of the summer I'll be closer to my goal weight.

Ht. 5'5", Start: 169 lb, Today: 159 lb (BMI %tile: 93), Goal: 140 lb - So I changed my goal cause I need to learn to take small steps. Recently I experimented with QUINOA and made fried rice. It was so yummy ... I definitely recommend it. Anyways my mom won't let me get school clothes in till I'm 150 so I'll have to step it up.
