Start: Ht. 172.5 cm, 89 kg ( BMI %tile: 96) Today: Ht. 172.5 cm, 74.5 kg (BMI %tile: 85) - For the last three months I have only been eating breakfast and dinner, and its working! Before trying this, I had a gym membership and was going about four or five times a week. I was getting quite fit, but not losing weight. Then I read about the 80/20 rule, you know, about 20% of losing weight being about exercise and 80% being about what you eat, so I gave up on the exercising alltogether. It felt kind of strange, as if I wasn't doing enough to lose weight. It was school holidays and I spent my time sitting around, which made me feel a little guilty, because I thought I should have been going to the gym. But after a week of eating two meals a day and being lazy, I jumped on the scale and I had lost one and a half kilos! (or 3 pounds!). I was really happy with this result and have been doing the same thing for the past couple of months. So far I have lost 14.5 kilos (31 pounds)...

After losing all this weight, I plan to start eating three meals a day and also start up at the gym again so that I can get my fitness back. (view less) (Note: 172.5 cm, 74.5 kg is 5'8", 164 lb.)

havent been on in a while, but i have since lost 7 more pounds. i am pretty darned happy with myself. :) i truly have come a long way. i remember when i decided to do something about my massive weight. i was nearly 200 pounds and that fact alone made me feel absolutley crumby. I even remember the date. It was December 9th, 2010. Now, nearly an entire year later, i am an entirely different person. I weigh 55 pounds lighter. I feel so much better physically and mentally. I also look healthier. Now, the doctor has informed me that I have made an incredible and drastic improvement. I am very proud. I still have a bit more weight to lose though, the journey isn't yet over. After I reach my current goal (to weigh 130), i think i want to set an additional goal to lose 10 more pounds and weigh 120. I think that is a healthy weight for myself. I am impressed with everyones... (view more)hey guys (:

Start: Ht. 5'8", 225 lb ( BMI: 34) Today: Ht. 5'8", 165.6 lb (BMI: 25) - SWEET! So, now that I know I lost water weight, I'm down to 165.6 and steadily losing 0.2 pounds per day, so weekly i'll be losing 1.4 lbs. Definitely not an incredible loss but I know from experience that when I lose weight too fast, I gain it back and then some. This way, it will be steady consistent PERMANENT weight loss. I'm also starting a full time job at the hospital starting on Monday (just graduated college yaay!) So from 7am-3pm I will be busy and will be packing healthy low calorie lunches. It's just going to be hard not to snack at night which I am very used to. So at this rate, I'll be 160lbs by Christmas (mini goal) and then close to 155 by my 23rd birthday in January. I'm very positive right now that I can do this! Hope everyones doing great, good luck!

Start: Ht. 5'5", 165 lb ( BMI %tile: 95) Today: Ht. 5'6", 110 lb (BMI %tile: 11) - I didn't really have to try too hard. The first 10lb are the hardest then you just get the hang of it. I was really depressed and knew I had to do something. Swimming and jump roping really helped. Those are both thing I love to do. Get info on how many calories everything has. Did you know that swimming burns over 800 calories an hour? Once you start stick with losing weight! I used to say "one more cookie, I'll eat only healthy starting tomorrow", START TODAY! I feel so good now and I can wear any clothes I want, I had to donate all my old ones and now everyone is like "you look so good". Even my face changed! Get a support system. Just a buddy there can be a huge help if they support you.It's funny cause at first I was like "oh my goodness I have to lose those 50lbs and now I am looking for a way to lose 2lb. Good luck to everyone.It's worth it!

Start: Ht. 5'5", 180 lb ( BMI %tile: 96) Today: Ht. 5'5", 140 lb (BMI %tile: 79) - My doctor said I was really obese and that I was a risk of diabetes. I lost a lot of weight and I felt proud. I got a lot of attention from everyone and finally got those solos at dance. But then my mom said I looked to awfully skinny and my doctor said I need to gain 'some' weight.But I don't know how much. At first losing weight was so hard, but then I changed my lifestyle and got the hang of it and it was easier. Now I feel like I can control my weight. All of you out there don't give up cause in the end you will feel proud of yourself!

So we started losing weight. It was easy and I lost a stone within 2 months. But then we went off the diet but I go out with my friends a lot and we walk miles at a time. I've managed to lose 45 lbs (3st 3lbs) but I need to stop. (Note: 13 st 0 is 182 lb.)

Start: Ht. 5'4", 172 lb ( BMI %tile: 98) Today: Ht. 5'6", 167 lb (BMI %tile: 94) - Okay, well when I first started becoming aware of my weight, I was 10 years old. I first started wanting to lose weight before I started 8th grade. I began watching what I ate and counted my calories and exercised on my Wii Fit. Soon I started losing weight very quickly and I got down to 160! I was able to keep the weight off until spring break and then I gained 10 pounds in 10 days! I dont know what happened to me. I was so sad. But now I am staring to exercise and I'm losing weight again. I hope to be at 140 or less before I start high school in September. I am tired of looking at my self in the mirror and being so sad about what I see. So now I am taking charge of my life! Wish me luck! I hope everyone else is able to reach their weight loss goals as well.
