Ht. 5'5", Start: 11 st 7, Today: 11 st 6 (BMI %tile: 92), Goal: 10 st 0 - Being overweight sucks. I hate having such low self-esteem and being ashamed of what I look like. 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.

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.

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!

Ht. 4'8", Start: 125 lb, Today: 115 lb (BMI %tile: 93), Goal: 100 lb - hi guys, sorry, I'm writing on a phone. I need some advice. I used to weigh around 90 lbs, then over about six months we went on a cruise, and moved, and had a new school, and our six chickens were killed. Now it's holiday season. As you can tell, I've gained weight, but also lost some. I need help with the last 15 pounds. I'm running/walking up to two miles each day, but I need help with eating less. I try to do the eat half thing, but I end up eating the other half later because I get hungry. What can I do? Oh, fyi, my family isn't very supportive... And I haven't been to the docters in a while. Can anyone help?

Ht. 5'4", Start: 250 lb, Today: 215 lb (BMI %tile: 98), Goal: 120 lb - So i have posted on this website in forever but to give an update... I moved finally and my life dramatically changed i gained like 15-20 pounds and was so frustrated with myself but now I'm going to lose weight im doing this for my boyfriend who literally is amazing but its so embarrassing because he weighs so much less than I do and I feel like people will judge me because he's Instagram famous and people will see who I am and yeahh so me and him are on a diet together so hopefully before March I'll have most of my weight loss because that's when I'm going back to my hometown to give everybody the shock of their lives with me losing all m weight if any of ya'll are willing to email then that would be great! I would love a diet buddy and someone who can keep me confident and encourage me!
