All of my life I've never really noticed my weight until.... One weekend my bestfriend Martha(who wears a 0) and I went to a theme park, and I wanted to get on a ride and martha joined me. When I got on the ride the lady told me I couldn't ride because I was too heavy, she said that the bars & seatbealts wouldn't fit me!I jumped of the ride in humiliation and cried.What makes the story worse was their were two really cute boys behind us who were making jokes and laughing while I ran away. My friend Martha saw how hurt I was and jumped of the ride and ran after me. I cried for about 5 min. so martha asked me did I want to go home. I said yes! On the way home Martha saw how hurt I was and aked could she stay over I say sure(I was hoping she asked) she called her mom and told her she was staying the weekend.Martha then told me to get on the scale..It read 315lbs. I almost passed out! Then ... (view more)All of my life I've never really noticed my weight until....

I almost passed out! Then Martha took me to the computer and looked up websites on losing weight. We couldn't find any that worked for me so martha told me she had a friend who lost weight on a diet and she would call her and we could meet. Two weekends later I met a girl named Racheal who said she had lost nearly 80lbs in six months with a diet her little cousin gave her. Now its been three months later and I lost nearly 25 pounds I feel great. Oh yeah Rachael and I are good friends now and she told me about blubberbusters! What makes the story is that her little cousin is Charlie who is a blubberbuster! (view less)

I have reached my goal, and I am so proud of myself. It really was hard for me to resiste foods, my older sister who is 28 helped me the whole way. I came to live with her in December and I was 130lbs and only 4'11" I was a big ol 9 year old. My sister didn't want to see my feelings hurt anymore in school so we went over what I had been eatting when I lived with my mother and what was not healthy. Did you know hot pockets and corn dogs are bad for you? THEN Y DO THEY MAKE EM? GRRRR I was eatting about 6 hot pockets a day or 4 corn dogs a day becuase my mom was never home that much to cook. Well, my sister cooks and she never makes the same meal twice, we eat lots of greens and desert is only once a week on Saturdays. My sister says its not a right that kids have to get desert its a prevlige. It is always something good too. When I lived with my mom we would eat alot of fast...

My sister says its not a right that kids have to get desert its a prevlige. It is always something good too. When I lived with my mom we would eat alot of fast foods. Now living with my sister we go out to a restruant once a month, thats my fast food. I like salids now and im still trying to find a way for her to make yams taste better, any ideas let me know. UCKY. I now weigh 103lbs and my goal is to maintain that weight for the rest of the summer till Aug 22nd, Then my doctor said today that for every inch I grow I should gain about 2 to 4 lbs, but not all at once. Before I was lazy and would watch tv all the time. Now I watch less than an hour of tv a day, I read much more, and I go outside and play alot. I drink more water than I used to and I can only have soda once in a while, and sugar drinks like kool-aid twice a week at dinner. Only once small glass full, if I drink all that up before I am done with dinner, I drink water. The other nights of the week I drink Cranberry Juice, Grape Juice, Milk or Apple Juice. I also run a mile in the morning sometimes and do 50 sit ups, I want my tummy to be tighter, If I dont run in the morning I try to run at night and do the sit ups. All depends I am very busy. I hope others can see how I have lost weight. My start date was 12-18-2005 @ 130lbs I hit my target weight on 6-16-2006 @ 103. I am happy, healthy and I love my new body and cool clothes. (view less)

I knew I had a weight problem when I was ten and wearing size 16 in kids at Limited Too. So I lost a bunch of weight and now I'm age 12 wearing a size twelve in kids! I think you should be the same age as your clothing size... if you are shopping at kid-sized stores.
Also, if you are really tall, slim sizes are lifesavers because sometimes I'm too tall for a 12 at Abercrombie Kids but a 14 is too big around the waist and hip so I get a fourteen slim which is as long in length as a regular 14, but the fit is like a size 12.

I had always been a girl with a larger frame than everyone else, because I'm built like my mother's side of the family. I always thought I was fat and would feel nervous and scared about letting other, especially older, people see me. When I'd pass super-thin eighteen-year-olds or cute boys, I felt so self-conscience. At age twelve my weight had crept up to 184 lbs. I will repeat that: 184 lbs. At age twelve. It hit me like a monsoon: not even some ADULTS weigh 184 lbs. I was overweight. And unhealthy. If I kept it up, how would I look as a young woman? Around that time my birthday was coming up, and I'd managed to slim down to about 178. I figured that I'd started the beginning of seventh grade at around 165. Now I am 174. Then I suffered a traumatic experience and got off my eating plan. I gained nothing but was introduced back to some of my old eating habits. Now I'm changed for good. I want to be 160 by the end of eighth grade and 130 before high school starts. Wish me luck!

I was always a chunky gal. When I went into high school as a freshmen I was 239 pounds, some would call me names and I never wore what other girls wore. My mom was smaller than me and she was over weight herself. I then got into a gym class and my teacher pushed me to work. I tried out for volleyball but didn’t make the team. I had a black ring around my neck for being almost diabetic I was determined to loose weight. I stopped drinking pop and exercised a little bit at a time. I couldn’t run for nothing... It was hard to run a lap around the track. Now I’m a senior of class 2007 and I am 148 lbs I play Volleyball and softball and I am healthy! Dieting isn’t what helps you loose weight. Eating right and Exercise can’t be called a diet! Its something you should do for the rest of your life. I started the end of my freshmen year and I will continue forever to eat healthy and...

Eating right and Exercise can’t be called a diet! Its something you should do for the rest of your life. I started the end of my freshmen year and I will continue forever to eat healthy and exercise. You can still eat desserts and go out to eat believe me. You don’t have to give up the things you love to eat! This is what I did. I drank water all the time, I gave up pop altogether, some people find this hard but if you really want to be healthy is the best choice for you. I exercised everyday at least for 20 minutes Just walk, Run Play a game be active. Keeping your self-busy leaves no time for you to snack on junk. When I wanted to have a day of eating a lot of junk that’s when I had to just exercise more then usual. Breakfast is important! Drinking Low fat/skim milk is important for a person in their daily life, High Protein foods also. For me chicken is my number one choice. When I go out to eat I just try to get whole wheat grains when it comes to bread and pastas and no fried foods all baked or broiled. You can still eat out there are delicious choices. I love ice cream so I always get a Baby cone or Cup when I go to 31 flavors. I lost 87 lbs and so can you! Stay healthy and believe in yourself. Go to the park and walk, go skating with a friend Buddy up if you have to don’t be afraid to succeed it’s the greatest feeling ever! It takes time but you will loose weight and find a healthier you!
