Ht. 5'8", Start: 228 lb, Today: 212 lb (BMI %tile: 98), Goal: 182 lb - Hi everyone I've been on this site pretty much every year sense I was 12 and I've lost and I've gained and lost and gained and honestly next year around this time I'll be getting ready to go to college and I haven't had a boyfriend that lasted more then a month or two yet, I don't have any confidence and I'm rather fat. I weighed my self last week and I weighed 219 I thought dang I haven't weighed that sense I was 13 so I worked hard and lost 7 pounds but I don't want to stop there I want to go to prom, I want to do my make up and hair and actually feel pretty, I want to love my self so I can be loved by others and I want to lose weight so here we go again I'm going to try and lose 1.5 pounds every week until the end of may which should bring me to 182 which some people would say uhm yeah that's still fat but I don't think it is I've never been that small and that's what I'm going for 182 days from tomorrow I'm going to be 182 pounds and look hot :)

Ht. 5'4", Start: 280 lb, Today: 280 lb (BMI %tile: 98), Goal: 130 lb - I feel terrible. I've been overweight my entire life, and I feel worse now than I ever have. I try so hard to cover up how insecure I am--I dress in style and never leave home without hair and makeup done. I avoid confronting my weight infront of people as much as I possibly can. I want to be healthy and I want to get past all this, but I'm embarrassed to even try. I used to go to the gym, but I was afraid people would look at me and think "What is that fatty doing?" I get so depressed over the way I look. I feel like no one will ever accept me, that no guy will ever want me, and that I should be ashamed of myself for even existing. I just want this constant self-hatred to stop. I want to feel okay. I'm a size 24 right now, and I want to be at least a 16 by prom time. Like that'll happen.

Ht. 5'3", Start: 216 lb, Today: 216 lb (BMI %tile: 98), Goal: 140 lb - Okay, recently i've been to the doctor and i've been diagnosed with something that could contribute to the fact that it's very difficult for me to lose weight. I was both relieved ad irritated hearing this. I felt like, for once, it wasn't my fault i'm bigger. but at the same time, i felt like it wasn't fair that it's so difficult for me. Anyway, the doctors say i'm very healthy in my condition but they want to keep an eye on me so it stays that way. I want to make it easier on them and myself by truly trying to lose weight to benefit my health.
I'm on my school's dance team, so during the week i work out at least 30 minutes from doing technique. But, it isn't quite enough. I was wondering what other people do to workout. I need new ideas. I can run, sure, but i want it to be more creative than that. What happens when i get sick of running? I'll want to stop and i'd lose all the progress i made. So, what else could i do to workout?
much appreciated! :)

Ht. 5'8", Start: 185.6 lb, Today: 185.6 lb (BMI: 28), Goal: 150 lb - Well this start this up again. I've always been up and down with my weight. I've been as high as 200 and as low as 150 in high school and college. Right now I'm finishing up my senior year in college and I really just want to finally get control of it and control of me. My major downfalls are that I binge eat at night after not eating all day because I'm running around between school and work and all that jazz that I do. I also drink a good amount. I'm just a social butterfly so I'm out with friends. But again when I drink it goes hand and hand with eating more when I get home. I don't eat fast food hardly at all but I do go out to eat a good amount. I'm also pretty active but I just have to be consistent. I'll go to the gym 6 days in a row then take a week off. So I'm back to use this again to almost use it as a food journal so I can hold... (view more)Well this start this up again. I've always been up and down with my weight.

So I'm back to use this again to almost use it as a food journal so I can hold myself accountable what I put in my body. So here is today...Breakfast:Granola 100 cal bar, Lunch: Salad and some leftover stuffing, Dinner: A piece of lasanga and then a piece of oreo pie stuff. Not great but I did overcome not eating after 7pm because thats huge for me. I did also hit up the gym this morning and did 30 min of cardio on the climber then an ab blaster workout. Decent start but it's only the beginning. I will continue to post on here but if someone wants almost like a diet buddy leave me a comment and we can e-mail too! Good luck all! (view less)

Ht. 5'3", Start: 200 lb, Today: 194 lb (BMI %tile: 98), Goal: 130 lb - I haven't been here in probably about 5 years, and in those years I've definitely seen some extremes in my weight. During the summer I reached my highest weight, 210lbs. But, after 4 months at college, I'm down to about 194 and it feels great. It sounds cliche, but I want to start off fresh with the new year. Any help with motivation and tips would be appreciated. Good luck everyone!

Ht. 5'5", Start: 265.5 lb, Today: 265.5 lb (BMI %tile: 98), Goal: 120 lb - PI haven't weighed in awhile so I'm not really sure what I weigh. I feel like I gained, I sure hope not:(. Being this obese sucks. I can do what my friends do just not with ease. It's takes lots of effort to do just about anything, walk, jog, walk up stairs. I get embarrassed a lot not just when I'm in public but even when I'm at home or with family. The other day my mom took me to the mall to Christmas shop with her & only after about 15 minutes I was very tired from walking.Clothes are hard to find. I can't wear cute clothes like my friends because of my size. I carry a lot of my weight in my belly so shirts ride up when ever o do anything. I wear a lot of sweats because they fit good & when I wear jeans its very uncomfortable because we can't find any big enough they are also difficult for me to button & zip them up & need help from my mom sometimes.

Space is also a issue. Like I said in one of my previous post some chairs aren't wide enough for me or hold me. On thanksgiving we went to my aunts house & I sat inside on the couch the entire time because none of her chairs were wide enough. I have a big appitittie & I am never full when we eat out we normally go to buffets because my parents notice I never seem to have enough & my mom makes lots of food when she cooks. I go back for at least 2nds at every meal I have, a lot of the times I even go back for 3rds. I snack a lot to. All of this as to stop bit o don't know were to stop, could some of you give me advice. Please & thank you :/ (view less)

Ht. 5'7", Start: 210 lb, Today: 211 lb (BMI %tile: 98), Goal: 135 lb - Ughhh I feel so depressed right now..I just came back from a party I had fun...But it seems as though If i was skinny I can be more comfrotable with my body and more open to people. I HATE my body because of the fat. I didn't want to dance with any boys because I'm ashamed of my body. Oh and another thing... Clothes I LOVE clothes I'm a ood dresser, but if I was skinner the clothes will look and be more comfortable..I also, HATE pulling up my pants everytime I get up from the seat, while walking up steps, and before I sit down because pants don't fit me right..I HATE it sooo much, it's depressing...
