Ht. 5'6", Start: 271 lb, Today: 216 lb (BMI %tile: 98), Goal: 150 lb - I am frantic about something, and I'm hoping someone will be able to give me some real information. I gained abou 80 pounds over the course of about a year (very fast), and have horrible stretch marks ALL over my body. Not joking...stomach, sides, arms, back, breasts, hips, butt, behind the knees, even on the top of one of my shoulders! I am only 19, and I want to be able to feel good once I've reached my goa weight. However, I am terrified that the amount of stretch marks I have means my skin has no elasticity and won't snap back! I don't want to look like I've had six children before I turn 20! I drink water, I exfoliate, I moisturize...but I'm TERRIFIED I'm going to be saggy. Has anyone experienced this? Should I be legitimately worried? What should I do?

Ht. 5'8", Start: 211 lb, Today: 272 lb (BMI %tile: 98), Goal: 180 lb - Hi folks, I'm totally disappointed and frustrated. The last weeks I've been eating like mad. Burgers, pizzas, fries, sweets - that kind of food. I've gained 20 lbs more. I never thought I would get that fat!!! I really feel the weight, it's difficult to walk, take stairs, bend over and so. I'm afraid I can't stop this weight gain. And christmas is still ahead! How much will I weigh after the holidays???? Anyone here who can relate to me?

Ht. 5'2", Start: 125 lb, Today: 128 lb (BMI %tile: 87), Goal: 105 lb - Hi everyone! How do you do it? Everyone (except for me, that is) is losing the pounds and getting closer and closer to their goal! I just can't do that. My body refuses to shred off my flub and decides to store it and make me sam. :( I feel like it's not possible, like for me atleast. Well, I'm not THAT overweight but still! My confidence is leaving me! I don't wanna be like this forever!! I REALLY REALLY REALLY need help. i'm failing miserably, and I starting to think that I'll NEVER reach my goal. I've read lots of stories on here that you guys have lost like 3 pounds in the first week!! Could somebody help me before I give up and decide that I'm never going to be healthy and happy? This just isn't working for me. And I don't know what to do.... :(

Ht. 5'2", Start: 175 lb, Today: 175 lb (BMI %tile: 97), Goal: 130 lb - I have got to get control... I have gained fifty pounds in just over a year. I am only seventeen years old... I am terrified for what is to come. I don't want to end up like my mother who spent so much of herself hiding from the world because she was ashamed of how she looked... I don't know what to do. Everytime i seem to get motivated I never follow through. I hate to be a downer I am normally a very happy person, I am just sick to death of watching the numbers going up on the scale and going up another pants size every time i go shopping.
can anyone offer me some help with motivation? I would greatly greatly appreciate it.

Ht. 5'7", Start: 260 lb, Today: 295 lb (BMI %tile: 98), Goal: 100 lb - Okay so this year I was a freshman in college. I've gone way past the Freshman 15 and onto the Freshman 35. I don't know what to. All I feel like doing is eating and eating. We even have a gym right across the hall from me and I have no desire to go workout. All I feel like doing is eating!!! Does anyone have any ideas about how to help with this Freshman 35 and still gaining??
