Ht. 5'2", Start: 367 lb, Today: 367 lb - dear all. my name is ruby and ive been fighting obesity all my life im 5'2'' (160 cms) and i weigh 367 pounds. I have no friends at school, because I have no confidence because of my enourmous weight, and sometimes when I get back from school I can eat a whole loaf white bread with butter out of comfort. My parents work full time and are often away, so I hardly ever see them, which makes me more depressed. I spend most of my time with my nanny, who is also obese, and most evenings we eat from takeout, as my parents are quite rich, so they give me a lot of money. most days go like this :
wake up at 7, have a fry-up breakfast ( bacon, sausage, fried egg...)
get ready for school. (My school jumper is an XXXL) we will stop at mcdonalds and I will get a muffin and a milkshake. When its break time, I will usually go to the tuck shop in our school and eat...

get ready for school. (My school jumper is an XXXL) we will stop at mcdonalds and I will get a muffin and a milkshake. When its break time, I will usually go to the tuck shop in our school and eat a jam doughnut and a kitkat. School is really embarrasing, Ive broken three chairs, and when I told this girl who i fancied, she told everyone else, and I went to cry in the toilets and eat for an hour.
After school, i will go to the cornershop, and buy some snacks, usaully a loaf of bread, some coke and a large packet of doritos, i then hide it all in my bag because im embarrassed by the amount I eat.
At home I have a special room that overlooks the pool where I store my snacks and eat. When my parents bought our new house, they had a gym and indoor pool fitted, in the hope id do more excersize.
Two weeks ago I went to the doctor with my nanny, and he diagnosed me with type 2 diabetes, and said that the weight was putting a pressure on my organs and bones and that I would die young if I didnt lose weight. My parents had to buy a special chair for me, and if I sit down, its a big effort to get back up again.
Thanks for reading, xxx ruby (view less)

Ht. 5'1", Start: 175 lb, Today: 250 lb (BMI %tile: 98), Goal: 129 lb - My struggle with my weight has been with me for the longest time. I began high school weighing 175lbs. I am currently starting my junior and have reached a whopping 250 pounds! I gained the weight because I eat a lot of food during lunch. Also since my mom has begun working, she has left me money to buy some food when I get home and I usually buy 2 burgers with large fries and a soda or I would buy a pizza and finish all of it with breadsticks. With the money left over I would also drive to the nearest store and buy lodes of chips, cakes or other unhealthy snacks and eat them while doing my homework or watching TV. I don’t know what to do anymore, my doctor told me that I am in the obese class type 2 which made me cry my eyes out. I need help otherwise I will gain even more weight. I already have a hard time walking and spend most of my time lying in bed watching TV because of it so I don’t think this will be easy but I have to try. Please post some comments and help me get on the right path.

Ht. 5'5", Start: 195 lb, Today: 235 lb (BMI %tile: 98), Goal: 140 lb - Well, I try to eat better, and I don't honestly think that healthy stuff tastes bad. But I'm not that great at excersising, and for some reason I just KEEP gaining wait! Plus, everyone says to get healthy, you need 'to eat better and to excersise' but no one ever tells you what it is that's healthy to eat, and what excersise plans would be good for my body!
I'm REALLY tired of being overweight, and feeling ashamed in front of my family b/c I'm the youngest and fattest out of my siblings. its especially hard since my sister is in the marching band, so shes really healthy, and shell always promise to excersise with me but never does.

Ht. 5'4", Start: 208 lb, Today: 237 lb (BMI %tile: 98), Goal: 140 lb - all i do i keep gaining weight. I try real hard to loose weight, but I dont.

Ht. 5'7", Start: 165 lb, Today: 160 lb (BMI %tile: 83), Goal: 145 lb - My weight is now 160... Which has been the highest I've gone up up to. I don't plan on letting it creep up any higher, that's for sure! So it's been a little rough the past couple of weeks. But on that note, I did manage to get back on track with watching my food intake, this week. Hope ti continues because i dropped all the way to 152 pounds over the summer and then everything got thrown on the backburner and the weight crept back up. Well, i have no one to blame but myself, and tomorrow is a another day with new chances. It's hard at first but it gets easier over time. It always does... Good Luck to everyone! Watch that Thanksgiving Turkey!
