Ht. 5'5", Start: 163 lb, Today: 138 lb (BMI %tile: 85), Goal: 125 lb - Hey, you guys. My name is Colleen. For the past year and a half, I have been trying to lose my extra weight.
Here is my story.
All my life, I had been one of the chubby kids. I was always bigger and always self conscience. I always tried to pin it on someone else, but not too long ago, I realized they may have started me off to a bad start and gotten me used to bad habits, but I was the one continuing to conform to those habits.
I decided to lose the weight last summer when I was 12. I weighed 163 pounds, and was outright disgusted with the way I looked. At the end of the summer, I had lost 20 pounds and was at 143 pounds. I was so proud of myself. I had gone from a size 9 jeans to size five. I was wearing mediums, not larges and extra larges. I was still overweight, but I was that much closer.
But, nothing can be good forever in our lives, can it?

But, nothing can be good forever in our lives, can it?
During the course of the year and much during the summer, I gained back almost every pound I had lost. At my heaviest this summer, I was 158 pounds. This was partly because one of my best friends had passed away in the spring, and it was very hard on me. That event also got me thinking about what I could to feel better.
I decided that if I was ever going to be happy and live the life I wanted to live, I had to get down to a healthy weight. I didn't snack, ate balanced meals, and exercised when I was bored, instead of eating. I lost 20 pounds again, and am now at a healthy weight. I am also the happiest I've ever been because when I was upset about something, I would eat. Now, though, I talk to someone about what's upsetting me, and I feel better.
Since hopefully I'll never have to post on here again, this is my goodbye. Blubberbusters has been a great crutch to lean on while on my journey, and I appreciate it.

So I've been overwieght alllll my life and i'm finally gonna do something about it. I've tried before but given up after a week or so. DX
I'm not eating too bad, I ate around 450 cals today and 500 yesterday. But i'm not very good at exercising, I don't even walk to school, my parents drive me. :C But I did 30 mins of jump rope today which calculates as losing 700 cals. Which is ok I guess. Any tips? ♥♥

Ht. 5'0", Start: 260 lb, Today: 304 lb (BMI %tile: 98), Goal: 100 lb - Things are going REALLY bad for me! I think I'm ADDICTED to FOOD, I read about that on the web but what can I do??? I TRY to eat RIGHT but I go CRAZY until I eat stuff that TASTES GOOD! I can barely FIT into the desks at school. They PUSH on my stomach but I DON'T want to sit at a table! That would be SO EMBARASSING! My ankles and knees HURT so much just walking between classes. When I went OVER 200 I thought that was so huge and it couldn't get ANY worse! Going over 300 seemed IMpossible! Now I would LOVE to only be 200 because that would be 100 pounds less and SO much EASIER to MOVE and BREATHE! I feel like I can't HANDLE any more WEIGHT. It's like I'm carrying a MOUNTAIN when I walk and even WORSE going UP stairs. I know I NEED to stop OVEReating, but I TRY my BEST to diet and CAN'T!

Ht. 5'7", Start: 163 lb, Today: 161 lb (BMI %tile: 88), Goal: 140 lb - so, my main goal is to lose some weight til my 16th birthday, which is a week before christmas.
i just want my birthday to be as good as possible, and as i'm spending it in miami, i might as well shape up ;)
so far i've lost 2lb, but that could also just be waterweight.
my diet basically is keeping my calories und 1000 per day. i'm trying to spread them out evenly over the day (not a huge breakfast and nothing after...). it's a lot easier than i thought. while counting up all the calories i've already eaten,i can keep track of what and how much i eat and by the time i've come up with the calories i've got left, i don't really feel that hungry anymore and grab my water bottle ;P
and i'm doing some situps every night and on the weekends when i haven't got anything to do, i go for a run ;)
i'm not sure how fast or slow i'll actually lose weight, but since i usually eat a lot of junk and don't really do a lot of exercise, it should add up after a bit. i hope.
if anyone's got tips or motivation, i'd love to hear it :)
and good luck to everyone else!!
