Ht. 5'4", Start: 131 lb, Today: 138 lb (BMI %tile: 88), Goal: 110 lb - Hello, everyone. I need help. I need to know how to stop the urge to binge eat. It's a huge problem. There have been some times where I lost like 1-2 pounds and I'm really happy about it, but then I binge again, and feel disgusted by myself for it. Please, give me some advice. I've done decently at maintaining my weight, I've grown 2 inches since last year, which is the reason why I gained 7 pounds from my starting weight of 131 pounds. I need to lose weight, because I feel like everyone's disgusted by me. There's this guy I like, and one of my so-called "friends" told him I liked him. So now I feel like he's ashamed that someone so disgustingly fat likes him. I feel like everyone at school is laughing at me behind my back because I'm too fat to fit into nice clothes like American Eagle, I have to buy my jeans at Old Navy, where I get a size 8 in women's. Please, pleaseplease tell me how to resist the urge to binge eat.

Ht. 5'10", Start: 205 lb, Today: 205 lb (BMI %tile: 98), Goal: 160 lb - I am obese and this year I want to do a lot to help myself, however I have one problem, my step mother makes my food and she makes very oily fatty and large quantity dishes. I DONT LIKE THEM but I'm forced to finish my plate and if I confront them my dad would be upset with me for disrespecting her, I really want to lose it and I'm prepared to sacrifice a lot, but I can't do it without correct meals. My mother dies when I was young, I'm fairly sure I was mercy fed, that's why I'm obese, I don't eat when I'm upset though, now that I can control more.

Ht. 5'6", Start: 279 lb, Today: 282 lb (BMI %tile: 98), Goal: 160 lb - My mom just found this site today. I'm not supposed to go look at anything she posts about me which makes me nervous,but she said she won't look at what i say. She was asking me why i need to wear my pants over my "belly"(I HATE that word. it makes me sound like I'm pregnant) like if i let it hang over thats gross and it jiggles. and i hate wearing belts and i wish victorias secret sold larger sized yoga pants. Do you guys have a good place to get soft jeans that are comfy to wear over your stomach and you can keep up when you sit so you don't look like pregnant when you're sitting?

Ht. 5'3", Start: 10 st 10, Today: 10 st 10 (BMI %tile: 93), Goal: 7 st 8 - Hey everone. So this is it, the new year! I have to lose about 3 stone (about 40lbs) by july this year. Quite frankly.. I CAN'T WAIT! What im going to do is to go to the gym and go out for runs. Also I'm going to cut out all fatty foods and only eat when I'm really hungry. When I get hungry but it's not a meal I will drink water or chew gum. This can be our year if we choose to take it! WE CAN DO THIS!!!  (Note: 10 st 10 is 150 lb.)

It makes a massive impact on your life and you feel absolutely hideous when around other people. I've had really bad experiences at school with bullying (even before I was overweight), my parents had an bad marriage and my little sister had cancer three times. It all started around the same time when I was 10/11 years old. I felt really lonely and isolated and depressed because I was scared my sister was going to die, I didn't see her or my parents for six whole weeks at one point and I was being tormented when I went to school. There was no escape for me so I would eat to distract myself and try and make myself feel less empty inside.
Now, I've learnt to stop binging and I barely eat now. It's not healthy, but because I don't do ... (view more)Being overweight sucks.

There was no escape for me so I would eat to distract myself and try and make myself feel less empty inside.
Now, I've learnt to stop binging and I barely eat now. It's not healthy, but because I don't do much exercise (mostly out of embarrassment because I'm scared people will judge/mock me for being 'the fat kid' in the gym) I don't lose weight. I'm sick of stepping on the scales and thinking that the number is just going to keep going up and I'm doomed to be overweight. I avoid mirrors too, and acting like this isn't right.
However, after struggling for so long, I've finally grown the balls to do something about my weight. I live two miles from my school so I'm going to walk there and back everyday (Believe it or not, I used to and lost 8 pounds), try and go cycling like I used to, and walk my dogs whenever I have time. I've never been a very confident person, but with age, my self-esteem has got better, so I'm determined to do something this time. I'm going to take matters into my own hands and get myself out of this mess because if other people can do it, why can't I? (view less)  (Note: 11 st 6 is 160 lb.)

Ht. 5'0", Start: 10 st 8, Today: 10 st 8 (BMI %tile: 98), Goal: 9 st 8 - Right so I have tried to loose weight before and failed and this is my attempt again to actually loose weight. I hate the way I look and it is because I am overweight. It is my fault, knowing comfort eat because when I am upset I don't know what to do so I guess food distracts me from things. Last time I tried to loose weight I didn't tell friends or family which was wrong because I needed support and I thought by not asking I wasn't addressing my weight problem. Although this time I know it was wrong and I know that my weight problem has got out of control in the last year so I have asked for help this time. I told my best friend about everything about from the comfort eating I don't really know how to explain it. I don't want to upset her either as she wouldn't like to hear that I have been upset myself for ages and told no one....

Anyway so she said she would help me loose weight safely and help me be happy again as she knows I hate my body image. We are going to start going for short jogs and going to the gym. I suppose that's a start also I am going to eat alot healthier as I eat absolute rubbish and too much of it! I told her that when we go back to school or when we are together she can slap anything fatty out my hands, she also said that when I get cravings to text her which should probably help I guess. Today is the start of a new me and I am going to loose weight this time and it is never going to be put back on! Oh and does anyone have advice on anything really!

Or maybe an instagram page where you can post ur progress by doing a hashtag like #iamablubberbuster for example? Comment what you think

My mom has given up and my dad keeps trying to feed me bull. I AM trying Garcinia Cambogia because I've ran out of options. This is my last resort. #NoRegrets pray for me ya'll.

Ht. 5'6", Start: 220 lb, Today: 220 lb (BMI %tile: 98), Goal: 180 lb - So.. I'm back. I've been in this site before but then I forgot. about it and I derailed off my routine.. Im in my last year of school and I really want to lose weight for the debs (our versionof prom) next August. My mom said she'll help me and come on walks and all with me but the school year is just too busy to do anything! After Christmas is going to be hectic with exams and orals so I won't have time to go on walks so I was wondering if anyone has any tips on how to do ut with so little exercise?

Ht. 5'1", Start: 135 lb, Today: 150 lb (BMI %tile: 97), Goal: 100 lb - Hey guys, I've been looking around on this site for a while, and at first I thought it was amazing, but then my friend told me about two things. HAES. HAES stands for healthy at every size. I've been looking into it, and some stuff makes sense. The reason my goal weight is weird? (hint, i dont want to weigh 100 lbs) well, I'm happy with how I look. I don't feel the need to change because society wants me to. I'm fine with being bigger, I finally have curves! So, I'm not saying this site is wrong, just telling people about other options. If you are bigger, don't feel the need to change. some people are just bigger, its genetics. So, look into it and tell me what you think in the comments!
