Ht. 5'6", Start: 12 st 7, Today: 12 st 7 (BMI %tile: 93), Goal: 10 st 0 - So I'm here again. I've put on 20 pounds over the past 2 years and am no longer at a healthy weight. I keep trying to loose weight but end up giving up after a few days. Hopefully this will be the last time. I would like to be 140 pounds by the time I start my final year at school in September. I'm going to start getting up at 6 so that I can go for an hour run before school 3 days a week. I'm going to cut down on the amount of chocolate and sweets i eat and only eat at meal times. I, am going to India in July and hopefully that will help me as I won't be eating unhealthy foods. Anyone else got any tips or want to be a weight loss buddy (Note: 12 st 7 is 175 lb.)

Going shopping is a hassle because she always points out dresses that re too small to remind me to lose weight. We do these shopping trips once a month. Sometimes she takes clothes I like and donates them because I'm too fat for them to like nice. I want to lose weight so I can get more confidence and be ridiculed less.

Ht. 5'8", Start: 247 lb, Today: 225 lb (BMI %tile: 98), Goal: 147 lb - Is so good to wake up and see I've started losing weight again, had a few minor blips but now I'm feeling great and back on track.
Tip for anyone who struggles for motivation: I wrote letters to myself, one for when I felt like giving up, one when I felt like binging and another for when I was just feeling down. I made them really personal for me and read them when I was feeling that way. It really helped and gave me a push of motivation because you remember how you felt a few days or weeks ago. There were even a few tears on mine.

Ht. 4'11", Start: 140 lb, Today: 140 lb (BMI %tile: 96), Goal: 100 lb - Okay, so I also have an annoying family...
They pretty much look at me when I say, "I want to lose weight." They either laugh, say I can't do it, or say, you're okay, or are you really sure you're going to, cause I doubt that.
I don't have allowance, because.... Well, we're not that rich, and personally, I like saving money for the things I may need in the future.
Don't get me with the change the food and go healthy, because the family is the one preparing the food, and if they see me not get the food, they'll think something is wrong with me. Or worse, I hated them because i was the usual one who eats a lot and they appreciate it that someone actually loves their cooking.
And when I say, "i'm full, sorry," they plead, "oh come on, you still can do it! Finish it, food's a blessing, and some people... (view more)Okay, so I also have an annoying family...

And when I say, "i'm full, sorry," they plead, "oh come on, you still can do it! Finish it, food's a blessing, and some people don't even eat at all. Who are you to turn down grace?
I hate it. And the exercise, they will think I can't do it. Or probably, they don't like me going out of the house, because it isn't safe and I was always needed in the house, me being the eldest sister- and the only one entrusted with a lot of responsibilities, so I really can't go anywhere. I just nap for a while and they get angry because they need me to be awake so I can watch over my younger sibling and my baby cousin. Which sucks, because my sister is thin and tall, she's like 11, 4'8 and 80lbs, and being around her when I think I want to lose weight brings down my hopes because she's always the one who teases me. A lot.
*sigh* I've got a lot of problems, I can't just tell my family I'm going to buy this and that, because I don't really have a say in it.
I also like wearing baggy clothes, 'cause they make me look okay. And the issue with fat, my friends even gape on how can I be good at sports/exercise in PE and me being strong when...well, I'm overweight.
So yeah, this is my story, and I'm facing this problems always.
I can't agree to go to these things because a park is too far, my friends are too far for me to reach to help me, and I have low confidence that always seemed to block my way.
I tried exercising once and my family just looked like a grew a second head. :(( (view less)

I've not lost any weight in weeks! My parents have limited gym hours to 3 a week due to upcoming exams which is annoying. The exersice part is going okay I guess it's just the diet part. Mum never has any vegetables or healthy food in the house even though she knows I'm eating healthy. They were supportive for a bit but now nothing... It's just aggravating because I've got LOADS of weight to lose but it's not going anywhere! Feel like just giving up sometimes.

Ht. 5'2", Start: 366 lb, Today: 366 lb (BMI %tile: 98), Goal: 150 lb - Hello, I've always been quite large so finally my parents decided to do something about it. They sent me too fat camp. Even there I was bigger than the other campers and had trouble participating. By the end I only lost 2 pounds. At home I'm trying to eat better and do more exercise buts its pretty hard when your the size of a baby elephants.
I've been struggling a lot with my extra weight and these are some of the issues I've been dealing with.
#1. Walking around is a bit of a challenge. At my school there are two sets of stairs so witch I've had a lot of trouble walking up. I went and talked to the guidance counselor so I received permission to use the elevators. But even walking short distances I need to take many brakes and I'm dripping with sweat. I've been excused from gym and I try to do light stretches with the guidance counselor.

#2. No stores come in my size. I have to shop on line at XXL mens wear. That it self is pretty embarrassing but whats worse is I way over 100 pounds than my dad!!! Its hard to look good when you're a plus size but I can barely find girls clothes that fit me appropriately.
#3. There was a hole debacle when we went to the Dominican for March break. First I didn't fit in the seat!!!!!! Last year I squished in but barely. Now I need a full two seats. They had to rearrange a lot of people to get too seats next to each other. I was so embarrassed. Next when we got to the resort I laid on my bed and I broke the spring. They had to get it fixed and I had to lie on the floor in a sleeping bag. As you probably guessed I can't wear a bathing suit so I had to sit around all day watching other people enjoy the sun. Finally we had to get special reservations at the buffet because I needed a special seat I can fit into.
Well I've been having a lot more issues with my extra weight. I might post about my other issues latter. For now I'm on a diet and I'm trying to do moderate activity. (view less)
