Hi, my name is Ana.
About 4 or 5 years ago, My moms exboyfriend of 4 years broke up with her and left us. AFter that I began eating like a pig! just because I could... I didnt like that boyfriend so i dont know why i ate so much. Well I got teased at school and even my uncle and sometimes my mom would get fustrated with me and say some hurtful things.. Like when i met my he said WOW someone has been eating... he said it without thinking. I was one of the popular girls but the most fat one so i was never invited anywhere...Then one day, I wanted to buy rollerblades(i wasnt planning on loseing weight) but after i got them, I did everything on them from going to school, to just going to the park with my friend.

I still ate chips ( but not soda because i dont like it anyway) and anything i wanted but just in smaller portions... For example, I used to eat a whole bag of chips to myself, and now I just take a bowl of chips. Well I lost about 30 pounds, and started getting looks from guys, and even teachers would hit one me.. which was gross..And the pretty blonde skinny girls that i hung around are jealous of me and asked what i have done and they said I look gorgeous!!. Im so tall so right now Im not skinny and im not fat. Im hoping to loose at least 15 to 20 pounds. Im in Japan now as an exchange student and you know how everyone is skinny here. SInce im not skinny sometimes my host mom makes fun of me calling me fat so i cryed because i worked so hard.. but I gotta try hard again to reach my ideal weight. Thanx to your guyzs stories which i read everymorning to give me inspiration and tips to use throught the day. Thanks guys! (view less)

I lost weight recently by getting rid of all food that is instant. I had a problem with binging and everytime I felt out of control I'd grab anything right away,so now without anything quick, by having to wait for the food to cook, it made me calm down from my feeling out of control and eat normally. I'm going to continue like this for a while and then I'll start to work on my behavior and see if I can be around food and not binge on impulse anymore. I feel very proud of myself lately. I feel like a normal person who eats regular meals when I used to be someone to stick my hand in a cereal box and without realizing it I'd finish the whole thing!

I remember i was in 7th grade and i was 5'2 about 145-150.. I really wanted to lose weight.. and I was not going to overnight camp for the first time and i was really upset about it.. so I decided to get motivated and go on a diet. I didn't eat the healthiest which was surprising considering i lost a lot. I basically ate all carbs.. but i trained hard.. I worked out twice a day for about 30-40 minutes. I played basketball for about 1-2 hrs a day.. then went biking for a good hour or so. and this was almost everyday.. when it was late august i weighed 114. It was incredible.. but i am 16 now and i am dieting again.. not that I need it. but I weigh 130-132 now.. I want to get down to 120-125.. I do have abs I can see them when i make a muscle.. I am aiming to get the V (which girls go crazy over). Just eat a lot of veges and lowfat.. meat.. carbs are okay. But eat atleast 1200 calories a ...

I am aiming to get the V (which girls go crazy over). Just eat a lot of veges and lowfat.. meat.. carbs are okay. But eat atleast 1200 calories a day because it burns muscle. You just have to really stay motivated, it is hard for the first week or so. But then your body adapts to it, and it isn't as tough anymore. I am going to keep dieting for another 2 to 3 weeks i want to be down to 127-128 by New Years. Just keep working hard at it.. I was dieting and exercising when i had a broke ankle.. so if i can do it with a broke ankle then you can do it with two feet. (view less)

Hey! I was always over weight since I was young. When I was 17, I was 5'2 and 172 pounds. I began eating smaller portions and lots of fruit along with doing little things like taking the stairs instead of the elevator. Now I weigh 132 pounds!
From Christina, Age 13, female - 12/16/05 - IP#: 65.101.179.xxx
I finally reached my goal! I'm 155 pounds! I started at my highest being 190 pounds at the age of eleven. My belly has gone from being 40 inches to 35-36, and my hips went from 42 to 39. My body fat percentage lowered nearly 20%, from close to 40% to 25%! I'm still overweight, but now I can start the real toning.

I weighed 230 pounds before and was 5'8. My best friend and I started going to the gym together and dieting. I'm finally 180 pounds!

My weight yo-yoed all last year, but over the summer i stopped focusing on a number, but rather on what i ate. I made sure i ate breakfast, lunch, and dinner, and cut out snack foods and replaced them with fruit. I got hooked on fruit and even ate it for breakfast. I succeeded in losing 10 pounds and have only another 10 to go.

In the 5th grade I was a heavy kid. I weighed 230 pounds and was 5'6. I got picked on a lot and never had a boyfriend or anyone who really seemed to be my true friend for who I was. Then a few years later I decided to take action. In the 7th grade still being about 230 pounds I wanted to change my life for the better and lose weight. So I started to diet the right away. I chose to eat fruit or cereal for breakfast instead of poptarts, salads for lunch instead of pizza and chicken for dinner instead of pasta. I totally cut sweets out of my diet for the better (although to this day I still cheat and have a little something,but who doesn't as long as you don't over do it, it's ok). In the first 4 months I had lost a good 25 - 30 pounds just by changing the way I ate. Now in the 8th grade I'm still dieting but I'm down a total of 55 pounds. I weigh 170 pounds and I'm 5'8 inches tall. I work ... (view more)In the 5th grade I was a heavy kid. I weighed 230 pounds and was 5'6.

I weigh 170 pounds and I'm 5'8 inches tall. I work out daily 30 - 50 min and burn 300 - 500 calories. It takes work to lose weight, you can't expect results overnight, it takes time. I have had boyfriends and friends that I never knew would be my friends or even like me. My life has changed in a wonderful way. I went from a 24 womens plus to a slim 13 in juniors. I still can't belive how far I have come but now I see that I will NEVER go back to the way I was. I've changed so much my friends, and family say that I'm a totally different person. I didn't change my way of eating or dieting to get a boyfriend if that's what you think. I changed cause I wanted to have a good future and life. I didn't see being 230 pounds at the time, giving me a good future. If you want to diet and have your doubts just think on your future and how good it will feel when you reach your weight goals. It's a awesome feeling! Good luck everyone and remember you can do it!! (view less)

Hi! I started out at 217 pounds a year ago and lost 55 pounds so now I weigh 160 pounds and feel better than I ever have. I have also lost over 8% body fat. I would like to lose 25-30 more pounds, but regardless I'm still proud of what I have accomplished. I have permanently changed my lifestyle to include healthy eating and exercise everyday. I wish everyone the best who is starting a new lifestyle and want to tell everyone that you can do it. One thing I would suggest is printing out a calendar every month and track not only your exercise but also the progess you've made in losing pounds and inches. Whenever you need a boost, just look at that and it should help you to continue. Good luck!
