Ht. 5'3.5", Start: 175 lb, Today: 175 lb (BMI %tile: 98), Goal: 135 lb - Ugh I'm so frustrated with myself, It seems like every week i "start my diet " then eat something bad and then I restart it AGAIN. This has been an on-going cycle for the longest time. I say this everytime but I truthfully want to make a change. I want to be healthy. i want to be able to share clothes with my skinny friends. I want to look good in a swimsuit. I want boys to like me :( if anyone has any tips or advice for me please comment, it would be really appreciated !

Ht. 5'3", Start: 119 lb, Today: 128 lb (BMI %tile: 87), Goal: 75 lb - i've been teased since second grade. I hate it. In 3rd grade we were reading a article about how animals store up fat. And this girl asked is Alana a chipmunk? cause she's fat. back then i was bigger. i was actually 90 ib. back then. I was only four six. that's how i got the nickname chipmunk. The only reason i'm not overweright is because i got taller. One day i was at the mall with my skinny friend when a group of girls we knew acted nice at first. We all went to go swimsuit shopping. They kept on tossing little skimpy suits at me. For once in my life i felt thin. We did a quick photo shoot of all of us in our suites. Then we went to the food court i felt thin so i ordered a ton of food. One girl took a pic of me eating. Then we went shopping some more. The girls grabbed size 00 pants an told me to try them on i did. Well the button came... (view more)

Ht. 5'4", Start: 155 lb, Today: 155 lb (BMI %tile: 86), Goal: 115 lb - Hey. Im Theresa. I probably havent been on this site since I was 14. I use to go by Tag or Tagatha if anyone remembers me from that long ago:). I got down to 107 pounds four years ago but since then have kept gianing. I love the support you get on this site so I decided to come back. Ever since I lost a lot of weight I gianed it all back. Lucky for me I havent gone back to my heaviest weight of 180. I remember feeling so self concious when I was 13 because of that and being made fun of a lot. I am in college now. At the start of college in Septmeber I was 142.4. Now I am back up in the 150's. I decided to start a diet with low carbs and fats and eat mainly fruit. Well I am here if anyone wants to talk. I also love hearing feed back and giving support. xoxo Theresa

Ht. 5'1", Start: 173 lb, Today: 173 lb (BMI %tile: 98), Goal: 120 lb - 53 pounds, and my life would change forever. Boys would like me. I would be happy. I would be popular. All because of 53 pounds. I've tried everything, simply not eating, only eating meat, EVERYTHING that you could possibly name. I can't believe that just three years ago I was only 104. I really let things get out of hand. I knew they were out of hand at 140! I just let it keep going, and going, and going. I can't live like this anymore, so starting today I'm going to make a change. I will no longer be in the 100+ percentile for my weight, nor will I have an obese BMI - I will be at a healthy weight. It's time for me to make a change.

Ht. 6'0", Start: 200 lb, Today: 200 lb (BMI %tile: 94), Goal: 160 lb - Food, food, food that's all i think about. All i want it to eat all day long but obviously thats's not reasonable. I wish those crazy cravings would just go away. Every year when it's time to put on the swim suits i never want to show my face because i'm not skinny like everybody else. Every time i get a swim party invitation i never end up showing because i'm too fraid of how they would judge me. I want to feel good in the swim suit i pick out soon and in the clothes i put on for school so i am going to do somthing about this!

Ht. 5'1", Start: 195 lb, Today: 195 lb (BMI %tile: 98), Goal: 130 lb - Hi! My name is Dee and I've always been overweight. I've seen all types of doctors, trying to figure out exactly what it is. I've never been a food addict and I've always eaten just as much, if not less then all of my other friends, who are all a healthy weight and I've always gotten an adequate amount of exercise. So, it's pretty frustrating that I'm not a healthy weight. So, now I'm really gonna kick myself into gear, because I'm going to the Caribbean with my friends for my sweet sixteen and I would love to look really good in a new bathing suit! I know that for my short height, I should aim a little lower, but even just losing 10 lbs would be a gift to me. I've never been someone to really care about looks or weight, but now, for myself I will. I hope by doing this I can experience new foods, sports and exercises that I can enjoy. So once I loose the weight, I promise to come back and tell you all my success story! Best of luck to all of you here doing the same!! <3 -Dee

Ht. 5'4", Start: 218 lb, Today: 218 lb (BMI: 37), Goal: 160 lb - Hey guys, I have had many different weights in my life. Right before my senior year in high school I did weight watchers and lost 27 lbs. At that time I was down to 180. I loved my weight then but I wanted to lose more so that is why I set my goal weight as 160. Then school started and I didn't stay on my diet much and then it was Thanksgiving and then my birthday, then Christmas, then New Year's and by that time I had gained some of my weight back. I graduated and went on my senior trip, started college and I was finally at my highest weight ever, which is where I currently am at 218. My New Year's Resolution is to start back on weight watchers since it worked so well for me the first time and I plan on walking at least 5 days a week. I know a lady who went from being a size 20 to a size 5 in one year because she started going to a... (view more)
