Ht. 5'4", Start: 191 lb, Today: 144 lb (BMI: 25), Goal: 130 lb - Hello everyone, Its been years since ive come on this site, and just like everyone else i constantly have struggled with my weight, depression and stress. Slowly throughout the years I have brought my weight down. But as a normal human being I slip and fall off the tracks once in awhile. I see there are alot of you on here struggling and or just want some motivation. I know how you feel! I completely 100% believe we become addicted to sugar & FOOD. We are ALL human and its stressful & emotional challenging. Remember everyone if we would have stuck to our "healthy eating" & gym routines 6 months ago we would have been alot closer then we are today. BUT that also applies to 6 months from now, once we commit and get motivated. Im not saying keep putting it on the back burner but we ALL have second chances to redeem ourselfs, and we have the opportunity 6 months...

KEEP YOUR HEADS HIGH. In the past year I have spent alot of time studying nutrition, diets, macro nutrients & health & fitness in general. A close friend of mine is a register personal trainer & have gained alot of knowledge in the past year to benefit my weight loss journey, If any of you are ever feeling low, depressed, or just need a friend shoot me an email! If you guys want any tips/ tricks or want to ask any questions i would love to answer them to my knowledge. I am not a professional nor am i finished my weight loss journey just want to make people smile & help/motivate to my ability :) Have a great day everyone!

I know it says I'm the parent, but the sixteen-year-old is actually me, and mg name is Evette. I'm fifteen, 5'2", and 137 pounds. I've always liked to thinknof myself as a pretty girls, but is it possible to be pretty AND fat at the same time??? I don't think so. My Dad says he's embarassed to be my father because I'm so fat. He says he's ashamed that I'm going to the college he wen to. He says things like "your arm looks as big as my thigh!" And "you look like you weigh 150 pounds. I want to change, but I eat for comfort and when I'm afraid. Help!

Ht. 5'0", Start: 11 st 1, Today: 11 st 1 (BMI %tile: 98), Goal: 9 st 0 - So I have been on here before but like every health kick I do I end up giving up! I really need to lose weight as at the moment my weight is a health issue and I have let it go to far! So today I started doing yoga and I went to the gym! I also cut out most of the bad things or eat like crisps and chocolate and I calorie counted. One thing I'm worried about though is giving in. On about the second day usually I end up getting really upset and comfort eating, and I know I shouldn't but I am an emotional eater! I really hope that I stick to this diet though as I hate being overweight! I can't stand having to get changed for PE at school as my stomach is a great big jelly circular mess compared with all my friend's nice tone stomachs. It's embarrassing! Especially because when I run or even just walk everything jiggles and it takes a few seconds to stop! That's...

I need to loose weight for my health and for my confidence! Oh and if you have any advice about how I should loose weight or just anything really I would love to hear it!x (view less) (Note: 11 st 1 is 155 lb.)

Ht. 5'3", Start: 190 lb, Today: 187 lb (BMI %tile: 98), Goal: 125 lb - This is a huge problem for me... when I'm upset all I will do is eat. Stress makes me eat, broken relationships make me eat, and just the feeling the comfort that food brings makes me eat. The problem is once I start eating I don't know how to stop. Even when I know I'm full ill keep eating just because I want to. some days this has caused me to throw up throughout the night and leaves me wondering was that last bite really worth it? I am determined to lose this weight and plan on living a long healthy life. there is so much I want to do with my life..so many things I want do and see and losing weight will give me the confidence to do it! I have an adventurous spirit and I want to have an adventure with someone. I want someone to lose me for me instead of judging me for what I look like. I'm tired of being the fat girl with the pretty face, i'm tired of having 100 guy friends out of which none want me but rather just "stay friends" I mean am I the only one who feels this way?!

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. 5'5", 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.

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!

I am starting tomorrow and this time I plan on keeping on it. The thing with me is will power. It's hard because my parents buy sweets but that isn't my big problem. My problem is fast food. I am addicted. It's just hard because I trap myself inside the house because I feel like everywhere I go everyone is making fun of me. Especially when I eat out. I just don't know anymore. It's getting to the point where I don't wanna leave the house. Ugh.
