Ht. 5'4", Start: 150 lb, Today: 143 lb (BMI %tile: 95), Goal: 90 lb - MY TIPS
-Stock your schoolbag with healthy snacks, like baby carrots, healthy crackers, etc. in ZipLocs. Then when you have the urge to buy something at the vending machiens, pull out your healthy snacks. (Same with lunch.)
-Drink a lot of water. Add: lemon/lime, stevia (a low-cal natural sweetener), mint, etc.
-Eat veggies before every meal, cuz they'll fill you up a lot.
-Try to stay away from places where people are eating high-cal, unhealthy food.
-Don't eat too much dairy! There's a lot of fat.
-Don't eat, like, nothing for b-fast and lunch, because then you'll binge in the afternoon.
I'm really happy! My brother had some friends over, and there were like a MILLION donuts in our kitchen, but I didn't eat ANY. Yay! I'm going to make myself an egg sandwhich (one scrambled egg on whole wheat toast), and try to get some exercise.

Ht. 5'1", Start: 135.5 lb, Today: 135 lb (BMI %tile: 96), Goal: 105 lb - Hi, My name is Angela. And I'm "obese" on their scale. My brother got me a Wii Fit for my birthday because he didn't want me to suffer and go through people making fun of me. I tried to do it everyday, but it just gets tiring standing on this stupid board all day. I spent about 30 minutes on it each day, but then I got sick of it. I finally found a site where kids just like me have the same problem. I see all of those actors and models on T.V. and Magazines and then I just say, "I wanna be just like that." I have a problem with eating and my dad was telling me that he doesn't want me to get too obese. My dad is on a diet, and trying to get me to eat healthier. Parents don't understand how hard it is to drop the soda, junk food, salty, and sugary items and put them aside. My friends tell me I'm not "fat." I don't really believe them because they are like my best friends and they are nice ... (view more)Hi, My name is Angela. And I'm "obese" on their scale.

I don't really believe them because they are like my best friends and they are nice to me. This one time, I liked this boy... and I asked him out (through text message). And he told me that he wouldn't want to go out with me because I'm too fat. People say "I'm mean to myself" because I say I'm fat and I need to lose weight. But it's the truth. I'm trying to involve myself into more sports. In my P.E. class, we have to run 5 minutes non-stop each day, and I have a nice and steady pace. Even my thinner friends are a little behind me. I try being fast and try to lose weight because I don't want to be just some "fat kid." I told my dad I wanted to do 3 sports because I've only been in one sport, Cross-County, but I guess it wasn't a good sport for your first try. So, automatically, I quit the second week. I was panting on the side, walking when I wasn't suppose to, almost dying, having a heart attack. (Last part exaggerated.) I guess it feels kind of good to tell my story to the world. i'm trying to loose 30 pounds this year, because I want to be fit for next year, and I want guys to like me. Some like me for my personality .. but the others like girls for their personalities and looks. I cry when a guy says I'm too fat or someone gets mad at me and uses my weight against me. I'm not so much chubby in my face or anything. But it's just around my stomach, but it doesn't POP out as much. My arms aren't too fat too not look normal. But my thighs are pretty big and I want to shrink down on my pants size. If you can relate to this, PLEASE reply! I need responses. Thanks :). (view less)

Ht. 5'1", Start: 200 lb, Today: 200 lb (BMI %tile: 98), Goal: 200 lb - Alright, so I'm not actually 200 pounds. But the website owners might want to listen to what I have to say before deleting this.

I'd really like to help, and if you would like to hear my advice, than you can continue to read this.
Losing weight can be difficult at times. It's the honest truth. Sometimes, that ice cream sandwich looks too tasty, or that piece of cake tastes too good. Of course, these products are alive because of their charming abilities to tantalize our taste buds.
Here are some tips to help you lose weight:

Choose- Vegetables, Fruits as snacks, limit your meals to a healthy amount for you.
Most important rule:
DO NOT SKIP MEALS
Yes, I know eating breakfast lunch and dinner may make you feel like you're eating too much, and some of you may feel proud when you skip meals, seeing as you THINK you are losing weight.
The reality?
Nope. The first few weeks of eating very small portions and skipping one or more meals a day you will lose a few pounds of water weight. But the truth is, eating less slows your metabolism down. This makes you burn less and less calories, to the point where you are again gaining weight. Losing it from there will just be harder.
So,check with your doctor, or from a reliable source online to find out how many calories you should be eating every day. And only one or two small items of junk food a week will help ou mantain nutrition.
So here's the bummer for some of you. In order to lose a sufficient amount of weight, stay healthy and avoid health problems like diabetes and high blood pressure, you are going to need to excersize. But there are TONS of ways to do it. My advice? Seventeen Magazine has tons of subtle exercize tips AND healthy eating. Also, once a day, pick two jumpy songs on your ipod, and just dance, have fun! And guess what? You've just done eight minutes of excersize!
For your abs, i reccomend starting with 50 half-crunches a day. They did this routine in a gymnastics I once went to. After you feel totally comfortable with this, you can accelerate to 100.
Always find time for excersize.
Well, I really hope this helped. (view less)

I can't run as fast as my friend's an im really FAT my waist line is almost 40'' i struggle fitting into age 14 jeans.i always get made fun of at school kids push me punch me in the stomach saying things like maybe that'll help you loos weight.

But when i started binge eating i put on almost 2 pounds a day! at 9 i weighed an incredable 249 pounds my Doctor said that by the age of 30 i would weigh on 100 stone! i really had a problem. so my parents sent me to fat camp for 12 weeks. that was followed by a phycology curse and an intense diet. now i weigh 212 pounds but i still have to see the hurse every week for a weigh in.
my target is 7 stone  (Note: 15 st 2 is 212 lb.)
