Hey everyone i am excited to be here. This site is very helpful and its been on my faves list for about 5 months. i am 5'4" and i used to be 170lbs and then when my family and i went on a cruise i looked at myself in the mirror and i just couldn't take it i was getting heavier by the day so i decided to go on a diet and excercise and it worked. i cut out alot of the real bad things that i ate during the day and i drank alot of water...I am still on a diet and have been for the past 4 months but i am now 150lb's. i didn't use any diet pills or drinks i did it all natural. just cut out alot of your carb intake too and that will help alot. I also heard somewhere when you chew the food more it makes you feel fuller so try that it works for me and i no longer feel like food is my life anymore!!!BE PATIENT I WAITED 4 MONTHS AND I LOST 20 POUNDS!!!

I have battled with my weight for most of my life. I was within the normal range, however, probably until I was about 15, and by the time I was 16 I had topped out at 195 lbs and knew I had to do something. For me, every pound was extremely difficult. I finally realized that there really is only one way to lose weight healthily: eat less and exercise more. There's just no way around it. Don't skip meals because not only is it bad for you, but it causes you to overeat at later meals. Two years later I weigh about 160, and let me tell you that it became a lot easier after I started exercising consistently 4-5 times a week for at least an hour. You really just need to stay consistent, try not to splurge too often, and believe in yourself. I'm 5'7.5 and I've set a goal weight of 135-140. I don't think that I'll ever give up on the hope that I can actually be skinny one day, but I guess we'll see what happens.

I have been coming to blubberbusters for a while now! It's really great talking to someone who is just like you and can help each other the way you would want to be. Eating healthy is what's hard for me but I had to do it I mean some of the hardest things in the world are to tough to but as long as you try your already succeeding. I was 200lbs but now I'm 112lbs! "WOW". I feel great and you will too if you just try!!

I am a very short person(my height hasnt really kicked in yet). I am 14, and am 5' 4'' if you are wonering. Anyways- it just occured to me as of last year that people were calling me chubby, and I, easily giving in to peer pressure decided I wanted to do something about it. I found my pair of rollerblades, and went outside every day and rollerbladed for at least a half hour with some of my friends. I also watched what I ate, (And since the "Lent" holiday had started) I gave up ALL sweets. I never thought I could do it, but I did. Also, for lunch @ school I ate an apple. This seems like a heck of a lot to do, but believe it or not it was VERY easy. After a few weeks, my 5' 1'' body was down from 132 to 125. This doesnt seem like a lot but it shows. And after a while, your body will stop craving sweets. This helped me, so hopefully i can help u feel better about yourself too. *Lots Of Water! * EXCERCISE! *CUT OUT SWEETS! *Love yourself!

wus-up everyone. I'm 14 yrs old,5'9 and now weigh 254lbs. 2 weeks ago i was 263. I started getting heavy as of age 5 b/c of steroids(asthma). just last year i got off of the steroids. Now, I thought it was time to take action and loose weight.I tried every diet.But these diets didn't contain drinking lots of water. I was very depressed. Then as i was searching online i found this web site. you people really encouraged me and help me loose weight.Now I don't eat out, eat junk food,or drink soda or juice. I eat lots of fruits and veggies. I drink tons of water(a gallon a day). I also don't eat after 6 o'clock. I exercise by dancing for 1hr or MORE! I love to dance. I also do 150 crunches after i finish dancing.I dance off to people like Joe Budden, jay-z, 50 cent,camaron etc... You could email me at darknlovly13@aol.com. I'll be informing you on how i'm doing every 2 weeks. OH YEAH, my weight goal is 160lbs.

First I would like to say that this is a good site to share the stories of our weight loss experiences. I was always overweight most of my life but after i graduated high school, I put on 40lbs very fast. I was 5-8 and 240lbs. I felt so embarassed and just hated the way I look. I decided to go on a diet on Jan 2001 as my new years resoultion. Basically I stopped eating fast food and cut down on my meals. Also I was working a physical job so that helped too with the exercise. Basically 8 hours of walking and moving heaving objects around. Now its June 2003 and I have lost a total of 90lbs. I am 150lbs now and I am very happy I lost the weight. I still need to exercise more but it was very hard work but I know I will never go back to being overweight. I am very proud of myself that I did lose the weight and I am also proud of all of you also. Its a shame though how society judges heavy people. I did it for health reasons and also social reasons. Good luck to you all if you read this and are on a weight loss plan.

i know that many people on this site thought they were overweight but really weren't, but i was clinically obese. Being 5'5'' and weighing 193 pounds, i was so depressed. My life sucked and i was so unhappy, especially when my friend dropped all of her wieght (even though it was throught bulemia). So about 5 months ago i started dieting, and without any working out, i have lost over 60 pounds, but i'm still not there. If any of you out there have any FAST ways of losing weight or fat (especially for my tummy) please post something on this site directed towards me.!

hey! I just want to let everyone know, that if you make yourself up a simple diet plan, like no junk food, veggies, fruits lots of water and excersie, it does work. When I started 2 1/2 - 3 weeks ago i weighed 182 pounds, now i'm 170 pounds. So if u just stick to it, you can do anything! I'm still continuing to loose weight!

About 4 months ago I was, I was 5'7 and weighed 150 pounds, and thought that I have to lose some weight and get in shape.In the first month I lost 50 pounds, from just eating right(1500 calories/day) and exercising(about 2 hours/day), and I've kept the weight off for 3 months now.
From Patrick, Age 21, male - 05/18/03 - IP#: 24.236.197.xxx
I have been a big guy for over half my life. And with heart disease, diabetes and other diseases being on both sides of the family, I knew I had to change it. I weighed in at a total of 358lbs on August 24th, 2002. Now almost 9 months later, I am down to 245lbs, standing at 6'3". Ive tried everything I could think of since junior high. If I can do it, any of you can. Simple change of eating habits, cutting out fast food, deep fried food, pizza, pop, and simply hitting the gym. It wasnt easy, and wont be, but is way worth it. I have 10 times more energy then I can ever remember and shopping is definently alot more fun and definently not as depressing as what it was 9 months ago. Even though I have about 40 more that I need to lose, Im on the right track, and for those of you who think its never gonna happen and wanna give up, DONT! it will come off, just keep it up!
