Ht. 5'3", Start: 10 st 7, Today: 10 st 7 (BMI %tile: 86), Goal: 7 st 10 - So today, I’ve had a bit of water, 2 pieces of wholemeal toast with a tiny bit of peanut butter on and I’ve been to the gym and done 30 minutes in total! It’s 12.46 pm so I might have something to eat in a little bit, I have no idea what though?! What would make a tasty low calorie lunch? It makes me feel so good and proud, just hope I can stick to it cos this is only the first day after all!  (Note: 10 st 7 is 147 lb.)

Ht. 5'3", Start: 245 lb, Today: 225 lb (BMI %tile: 98), Goal: 118 lb - Hey ppls. Here's some great motivational stuff!!!
* Start VERY small! If you can't exercise for 30 minutes, or 20...start with 5, or 2 minutes.
* Break a big goal into small ones. If your goal is to lose 10 lbs, focus on losing 1 lbs every two weeks.
* Post your goal where you will see it.
* Tell someone your goal--parent, friend, and ask them to check in to make sure you're working on it.
* Visualize yourself as if you've already achieved goal: Do this at least twice a day.
* Stay away from negative people--those who think you can't achieve your goal.
* Don't give up if you lose your motivation for a day or even more. No-one is perfect, not even you! Just start again and keep going--you'll do great!

Ht. 5'8", Start: 211 lb, Today: 228 lb (BMI %tile: 98), Goal: 140 lb - Hi. It's me again! Still no good news. I'm eating like mad. And I'm gaining. It feels like I'm addicted to food. I have to eat until I'm full. And then I eat again, perhaps an hour later. I'm getting so fat. It seems there's no way out. Anybody here feels like me?

Ht. 5'3", Start: 190 lb, Today: 178.6 lb (BMI %tile: 96), Goal: 130 lb - ahh every time I get to a new low weight I start binging and stop exercising and I don't know why!
Today I got to 178.6, and then my sister called and asked if I wanted anything from the store, and I said a bag of chips,a nd ate the entire thing! Then my dad brought me a can of sprite and I thought of saying no, but I just gave in and drank it. Ugh last time I stopped exercising and kept eating and eating for 10 days, and gained about 7 lbs, this time I'm NOT going to do that, I'm going for a walk as soon as I'm done typing this and I'm going to eat better tomorrow.
At least it helps to think that my 'bad' weigh in days now are what my 'good' weigh in days used to be.

Ht. 5'4", Start: 156 lb, Today: 152 lb (BMI %tile: 92), Goal: 115 lb - I.... I just sit here and compare. What do I do? I have tried EVERYTHING. Well, maybe not everything but it sure feels like it. I want to be happy. I want to feel confident. I want to look like my friends. Why have I been the only one of my friends to be overweight? Why am I the only one of my siblings to be overweight? Ugh. I want to not be ashamed when my friends look at pictures of me. I want to not avoid parites and social events beacuse I am embarressed!!! I wish I could just switch bodies with somebody else. I am simply depressed. What do others think of me? I always hear its whats on the inside that counts. Well, has the inside gotten a boy to actually like me? Nthats a big fat NONONO!! What do I do?

Ht. 5'6", Start: 155 lb, Today: 155 lb (BMI %tile: 85), Goal: 120 lb - Okay, so my situation is one that's a tad diffcult. In the past year, I've been on tons of medication, for anxiety and depression, and all of these medications caused me to gain weight. In the past year, I've gained about 30 pounds because of medication. Recently came off a medication break, where I lost a bit of weight, but it also became apparent I can not really live a normal life without being on these medications. So I'm back on medication, and despite my healthy lifestyle, I'm struggling to mantain my weight. =/ So I'm not so much on here to ask for weight loss advice, because none of it will be to effective for me, so much as to ask how all of you manage to keep your confidence and self-esteem up, despite being heavier, because I'm having a rough time of it. (If anyone has gone through something similar, and knows something that might help me lose weight, I'd love to hear about it.) Anyway, thanks, and good luck to everyone! <3
