Ht. 5'6", Start: 280 lb, Today: 401 lb (BMI %tile: 98), Goal: 180 lb - Hey peoples, I'm new to all of this so here it is. As you can see I'm an over-weight teen and it's been following me all my life. When i was in the fifth grade, i weighed 280lbs. and it's been down hll from there, well up scale, get it. My 8th grade year i weighed 365lbs. As you can see, I gained a lot of weight. I'm the kind of Fat Person that hides his pain through hilarity. Making others laugh to distract them from the way I look. But that's the thing, how do i know if they're laughing with me, instead of at me. That's the question I ask myself all the time. I'm now a freshman in high school starting with a clean slate. Walking the halls of high school Isn't so scary to me, well that's because I'm SO HUGE. You know, some of my friends use me as a walking brick wall to get through people. I don't mind, and then again, I do. Whenever people do they do that to me, I'm always lauhging,...

I don't mind, and then again, I do. Whenever people do they do that to me, I'm always lauhging, when really, it's a reality check. It's like a HUGE slap in the face, like, c'mon dude get yourself together. I've struggled with weight problems my whole life and it's really getting on my nerves. Whenever the holidays come around, I get SOOOO happy, all the great food and drinks especially Thanksgiving. Whenever it comes to holidays that include lots of food, and candy, I think to myself, "should i.....I know it's the wrong thing to do..... UGH!! forget it, diet tomorrow." Mentally i wanna lose weight, but physically i don't. I'm tired of being the ONLY FAT PERSON in the room where EVERYBODY looks at when you walk in. Then when you looke back at them they TURN AWAY and then once you've turned away, BOOM! their eyes are STARING directly at YOU. HEEEEEEEELP!!! I really need it. Please send me some tips. (view less)

I've never been EXTREMELY fat but at the same time i've never felt comfortable in my own skin. I've tried so many different things to lose weight but its just so difficult for me to stick to my plans. There is this guy i really like in school and i dont want to do anything about it until im confident with my body. i know everyone says if he likes you he wont care, but i care. I'm self-conscious and i dont want a guys hand all over me when i feel fat and have blubber... any tips?

Ht. 5'6", Start: 208 lb, Today: 158 lb (BMI %tile: 82), Goal: 135 lb - HEY I JUST WANTED TO SHARE A COUPLE TIPS
DDR is an excellent form of exercise! it's pretty much the only exercising i've done while trying to lose weight..of course it's best when you can do it on the expert and heavy settings, but you can definitely work up to that!
ALSO slim fast is an excellent diet to follow
it is healthy and i think it tastes great and because the products are sweet and chocolatey i never really crave actual sweets.. a lot of people say this diet is bad because you gain the weight back as soon as you stop doing it. this did not happen to me , ive been off of it for months and have not put back on any of the weight. of course you can not go back to eating garbage or you will obviously gain it back, just make wise eating decisions.
GOOD LUCK

Ht. 5'3", Start: 180 lb, Today: 180 lb (BMI %tile: 98), Goal: 145 lb - In 8th grade I weighed 140. That is smallest I ever noticed myself being. I am now a junior in highschool. Over the past three years I have gained 40 lbs. I have went through stages where I excercised but never have been able to keep doing it. It drains my energy soooo bad. Yesterday I started excersising and eating well again and also have got my mom who has been obese for many years to start going with me. Please give me any tips you can. Thanks.

Ht. 5'8", Start: 156 lb, Today: 156 lb (BMI %tile: 91), Goal: 140 lb - Hello all I have came from the preteen board so I made today's weight my starting weight.
Here's basically my situation.
I am kind of in the middle weight range for my school.
There are people that litterally eat salads 6 times as big as i do and get like to or three courses of the lunch menu and they know their weight and dont care.
Then there are people who eat a normal lunches but get like junk food all of the time and they are still skinny because of my metabolism.
Here is what I eat.
What the school serves if its really greasy i get extra napkins to wipe the grease off, crutons with ranch (i know ranch is not healthy but I only get a scoop to a scoop and a half on a scoop of crutons and i dont get it every day)
I am in tae kwon do every day and I usually walk home from school unless I am sick or its super cold or hot.

I am in tae kwon do every day and I usually walk home from school unless I am sick or its super cold or hot.
My problem is at home though.
We have junk food at my house and when I am on the computer I dont even notice what I am eating until its too late.
My appearence/weight
When i call myself fat in front of people some think i am kidding
I dont have much fat on my arms or legs but its my belly and back that are the problem
Most medium adult clothes are big on me so I am probably an adult small.
In the locker room though I just change my shirt really quickly in front of people and go into a stall to change my pants.
I think mostly this is what I think about myself
But both my parents my mom (who eats healthy some of the time and goes to Curves like 3 or more tiems a week and walks a lot at her hospital job) and my dad (who washed his hands clean of me) are overweight/obeses
Thats another reason i do it though I want to be healthy and I want my mom to be healthy
When i talk to her about being healthy she tells me her doctors says she is healthy which i beleive and that she eats pretty healthy and goes to curves I just wish she had a way she could feel pretty
When i ask to get healthy food she wants me to pick it out and i dont know what to choose
I know this is long and might possibly take up the whole page PLEASE COMMENT AND READ THE WHOLE THING I think i am a little overweight, have bad eating habits, but my worst trait is I have a Very low self esteem for some reason (view less)
