Start: Ht. 4'10.5", 118 lb ( BMI %tile: 92) Today: Ht. 5'1.5", 100 lb (BMI %tile: 35) - I was always the chubby kid in school and sometimes people made fun of me for it. I mean, not telling me I was fat, but saying things like "you should be on the football team, they need fatter people". It did not really hurt me until my doctor told me that I should really lose a few lbs. In August of 2010, I was at my highest weight of 118lbs I started a "diet" in which I ate everything that I wanted, in moderation, before 6PM. It was so hard at first, but I got used to it and I began to feel a lot "cleaner and more energetic". Anyways, today I am at 100 lbs,2 lb less than my goal weight! Keep it up everyone!

Start: Ht. 5'2", 210 lb ( BMI %tile: 98) Today: Ht. 5'5", 130 lb (BMI %tile: 61) - Oh my gosh, it's so fantastic being able to do this finally. I was overweight forever but then my doctor gave me a wakeup call. I had to lose the weight or else I was going to get diabetes. Now I'm at a healthy weight (finally!!!) without any additional help (no diet pills! no lap band! no surgery! WOOT!). I feel a million times better about myself. For people still trying to lose weight, just know this: find a way to exercise that is FUN FOR YOU. For years I tried doing workouts like running around the track and riding a stationary bike but it wasn't fun, so I started doing yoga and dancing and just stretching all the time so now I work out six days a week an hour every time! I feel awesome. Keep going, guys!!!!
Love and hugs,

Just Havinn' Fun w/ Friends, No Drama, & No Worries ; Just The Enjoyment Of Being Out Of School. Durinn' The Last Weeks Of Summer, Many People Told Me That I've Lost Soo Much Weight. & Of Course, Hearinn' That Made Me extremely Happy(: I Started School & Everythinn'. Felt A Lil Better Than I Did The Year Before. I Had Gym Class That Year, & Everyone Had To Weigh Themselves. I Remember The Year Before, I Was At A Weight Of 195lbs! Crazy Huuh? I Weighed Myself, & I Was 180 Lbs, I Was Kinda Happy But At The Same Time Really Sad & Mad At Myself Because It Was Still A Big Number. Then My Mom Got Me My Own Scale. I Weighed Around 173 Lbs, I Was Extremely Happy!:) I Wanted To Keep Goinn' Down, So I Did A Lil Exercise Everyday When I Came Home From School, & Just Ate A Lil Less. By A Couple Of Months, I'm Now At 163ish Lbs. Still A Pretty Big Number, But Not As Big As I Used To Be. Now I Get More Compliments & Feel A Lil Better About Myself. I Wanna Be Around 142ish. & Hopefully Before Summer 2011, I'll Be Right Where I Wanna Be. I Know If I Lost Weight Before, I Can Keep On Goinn' & Do It Again.(: So Thanks For Whoever Read My Story, It Means A LOT To Me. & I Hope That Soon, I'll Write Another Story Of My Success & Be At 143lbs.

Start: Ht. 5'5", 121 lb ( BMI %tile: 49) Today: Ht. 5'5", 138 lb (BMI %tile: 77) - Hi!
I am Janessa.
I am from Albany, New York and became obese at the age of 7.
I was 4ft 4in and i weighed 103 pounds. It hurt to walk and i had to go to a special school for kids who had mental, or physical problems. Nobody talked to me because they all were different.
They were unique. In a good way. But they were either shy, or had some type of brain disorder. But i made a best friend, her name was Heathyr. We were both obese. We stayed at that school for 3 years. Then, in the 4th grade her parents got in a car accident and died. :-(
2 years later, we legally adopted her.
when we became sisters in the 6th grade, i was 5"1 and she was 4"9. she weighed 106 pounds and i weighed 121 pounds.
Then, we went to a therapist to help us with our weight problems.
He really helped us!
I am now 15, i am 5"5, and 138 pounds! a healthy weight

Start: Ht. 4'7", 100 lb ( BMI %tile: 92) Today: Ht. 4'7", 72 lb (BMI %tile: 33) - I was realyy big for my height, but I didn't even notice until one day there was a weigh in at school...
They told me I was a little big and needed to cut down on food. I tried to lose weight, but it just wasn't working out for me. I then moved to Washington D.C. There it was me, my mom, and my dad. I was losing weight really fast after that and i didn't even realize it. What I didn't know was that once I moved to D.C I was eating healthy, excercising e.t.c. One day my dada said that I looked thin. I thought he was joking! It was only 2 months after I moved away and I weighed myself and I was 85! I was so proud! Then about a month later when i had stopped trying to lose weight I got on the scale again and was 77 lbs! Now I have gotten down to 72 and the calculator says I am close to being under weight! Not that I want to be underwieght or anything. I can run, swim, rollerblade so good now. I might even be better than my friends. This website helped me during those hard month of trying to lose weight. If I can do it any one can! Keep it up!!!!!!!

Start: Ht. 5'1", 204 lb Today: Ht. 5'1", 139 lb - I've been overweight all of my life...it was cute until about 5 and then it just became bothersome and embarrassing to feel that I was different from all of my active and slender friends.
I tried pretty much every diet out there, without much or lasting success. It was only in 2009 when I realized that I hit my heaviest (204 lbs.) while meeting my future in-laws that I said enough. Since then, I've had a total mental turnaround which is always what I knew I'd need to accomplish my weight loss goals. Something just clicked in my head and now, even if I fall once in awhile by pigging out at dinner or not exercising for a couple of weeks, I make sure that I get back into the groove of things before too much time elapses.
I'm 140 lbs. right now and my final goal is to be 115 lbs., so I still have some work to do, but I'm quite proud that I accomplished what I thought would be...

I was 110 pounds when i was eleven, and i was 4'11. Now I am a healthy 92 pounds and i am 12 years old. I lost my weight by eating healthy, watching how MUCH i eat, and exercising. I do volleyball and yoga. I do yoga every other day, and volley ball twice a week.
From Mara, Age 15, female - 08/25/10 - IP#: 76.64.142.xxx
The last time I checked, my weight was at 160lbs but after 3 weeks of continuous exercise (running for apprx.30 mins ++if you have an ipod touch/iphone i recommend getting the app Couch to 5k which preps you up in doing a whole 30 minute run++ & lifting dumbbells) I feel absolutely better and I definitely noticed the pounds dropping and my arms and legs being more toned. I have a week left to go and I promised to check on the first of September to see how much I actually lost. So basically, I intake about 1500 calories a day and exercise. But if your legs start to hurt, then I suggest taking a day off. Oh and always always stretch before and after running!

YES! For the first time in my life, my weight is now classified as "healthy"!! This, by all means, is not to say that I am fit, or happy staying just under the "overweight" line. I am 5'7 and at my heaviest, I was around 170 lbs. I am now down to 152! I still have a long way to go, I want to be 145 by the time I start college in September. If anyone is interested, I'd LOVE to be someone's motivation buddy! JaneaLynn18@gmail.com Please email me if you'd like to chat about how you're managing! There were a lot of things that helped me learn to control my eating and I still struggle with it everyday.
