Ht. 5'3", Start: 188 lb, Today: 169 lb (BMI %tile: 95), Goal: 130 lb - I'm finally in the 160's! i haven't been this weight in 2 years... =) let me quickly tell you my story. i use to go on this site a lot three years ago. i was 165. then, over the course of 6 months, i dropped 130. i was happy and healthy. but, during my sophomore year, i gained over FIFTY pounds.
i was so stressed and never slept so all i did was eat. i managed to lose 15 pounds last summer and this summer i finally decided to just become healthy. my word of advice, don't count calories unless you plan to do so for the rest of your life. the first time i lost weight i counted calories but i gained it all back and more once i stopped counting. last summer, i only portion controlled and lost 15 pounds. this summer, i portion controlled and lost almost 10 pounds so far. so guys, make sure your "diet" is a lifelong thing. do something you will always be able to do.

Ht. 5'7", Start: 320 lb, Today: 320 lb (BMI %tile: 98), Goal: 150 lb - So. Here I am. Im not sure how to begin, so keep that in mind. I haven't always been this size. As a kid I was very active- I did track, basketball, gymnastics, you think of it I did it. I grew up with 3 brothers, & I am the youngest, so yeah- I was like another little boy. Sadly, I didnt have the best childhood. I grew up in severe Domestic Violence. Lets just say, when my "father" decided to keep me for 2 weeks longer than the originally planned 2 days, I was molested not only by him- but his friends.
Subconsciously after that, I just stuffed everything down, and ate. Food became my way out. How I saw it was, Fat people dont get positive attention. Guys wouldnt like me as a girl, if you catch my drift. When memories would threaten to come up, or if I got touched (friendly gestures- hugs, or a hand on my arm etc), I would eat. I hated it (and I still... (view more)So. Here I am. Im not sure how to begin, so keep that in mind. I haven't always been this size.

Guys wouldnt like me as a girl, if you catch my drift. When memories would threaten to come up, or if I got touched (friendly gestures- hugs, or a hand on my arm etc), I would eat. I hated it (and I still do). Over the past few days, I have come to the realization, When I was little I couldnt stop what happened. I was young, & up against more than one grown men. NOW I have the power to stop it. I was down to 295 lbs, but I got scared of my own success and self sabotaged myself. I ate and ate and ate. Eventually gaining all my weight back. I dont look the size I am. The weight is evenly spread about, but I AM large. I have had this epiphany recently; When Iwas little I couldnt stop what happened because I was young, and against grown men. NOW- I am older. I CAN stop things if I am in that situation ever again. I love MMA (Mixed Martial Arts) As well as kickboxing, & fighting type things. I want to lose 50 pounds, THEN start with those classes. My future goals are; 1. I want to be healthy- At 150 pounds. 2. I want to do gymnastics again, as well as Kickboxing, & MMA. Also, I want to be able to run 3 miles or more. 4. I wanna keep it off. Its currently July 13, 2012: By my 17th birthday I want to lose 80-100 lbs (August 30th). Let the weight loss begin! (view less)

Ht. 5'1", Start: 150 lb, Today: 130 lb (BMI %tile: 88) - When I had moved into my house at the age of 12 I weighed 150 pounds. I was going through a rough time and both my mom and I were eating because we were stressed. I kept telling myself I was going to lose the weight, but by the time i turned 13 I only weighed 147 pounds. That summer my mother told me she was going to lose more than 100 pounds in 6 months, but I told her I didn't think she would. Then a couple weeks later my mother went to the doctor and he told her she wouldn't be able to take care of my brother and I if she didn't lose the weight. My mother weighed 230 pounds and she didn't like hearing from her daughter that I didn't even think she could lose the weight and my mother wanted to be their for my brother and I.

My mother weighed 230 pounds and she didn't like hearing from her daughter that I didn't even think she could lose the weight and my mother wanted to be their for my brother and I. The first month my mom went on on a full liquid diet because she had gotten surgery done on her stomach. After that first month she had lost more than 10 pounds and than that's where she found the secret it was the foods high in carbs making her gain weight. My mother swore off all breads, pasta,rice, or anything fried. She ate lots of protein. Now many people think it's bad to eat to much protein, well it is. That's why my mom drank lot's water to get rid of any thing that would ruin her organs. After 6 months my mom lost the weight. She now weighs 120 pounds and has been maintaining the weight for awhile. She still hasn't eaten any bread, pasta, or rice, but she eats carb controlled tortillas and every night treats herself with 2 squares of chocolate. Oh yes if your cheese lover than you'll be happy to hear she ate lot's of cheese while trying to loose the weight. Now if your reading this your probably wondering why she doesn't eat breads, rice, and pasta well that's because they act like a poison to your body. You may not believe this, but I did the exact same thing my mother did for a week and lost 3 pounds, but then i decided to eat a sandwich. That night I got very sick because the bread acted like a poison and my body was rejecting it. So if your looking for a success story look at my mother; even though people didn't believe she would loose the weight she did and she is more confident,healthier, and happier than I've seen her in awhile. All you need to do is to think about what you will get in the end. I hope this story helps anyone trying to lose weight know there not alone. One more thing my mom lost all this weight just by sitting at a desk at work and once she lost more than half the weight she then began to work out but barely. Just stay away from anything high carb amounts and DRINK lots of water and eat Tons of Protein. If your a vegetarian cottage cheese, Greek yogurt, and beans have lots of protein. I wish you well on yout journey to success. (view less)

Ht. 5'4.4", Start: 182 lb, Today: 164 lb (BMI %tile: 92), Goal: 143 lb - Been really busy and stressful times. Everything is fine now but with the stressful past two months I put on like 4-to- 7 pounds and I'm bloating right now so sucks lol. Anyways I'm staying positive through all the drama sometimes you gotta block out the world and focus on yourself ( and children that doesn't mean your parents; just accept them) anywho I got a plan and will update my process in a few weeks. However realize everyone here supports each other whether we are online often or not, but depend a little less on technology and a little more on the need of fresh air: that is a start GOOD LUCK! <3 ~V. [also ask me if yuh have any questions or need some support; I'll give out my email to the people who want it)

I hated myself so bad for being fat. I woke up this morning still angry,I was planning on starving myself. I never wanted to eat again. But then I got thinking, and doing that would be giving into my failures. I am stronger than that, I know I can beat this. And however many times I fail, I know the day will come when I succed. I can do this :D ANd so can you!
