Ht. 5'3", Start: 195 lb, Today: 309 lb (BMI %tile: 98), Goal: 135 lb - Hi, I'm Rachel. I hate the word "fat" and had always claimed to everyone I wasn't fat, just big-boned because I was too scared to face the truth. I really have gotten fat. I hadn't weighed myself for several years until 2 days ago, and was startled to see the weight I've gained! I eat whenever I am not occupied with something else, and lately this habit has become even worse. I am almost always eating something, usually fast food. After learning about my startling weight gain, 195 to 309, I really looked myself. I barely noticed how large my stomach has become. I can no longer fit in most chairs, and have to purchase 2 airline tickets because I cant fit in a single seat. A few weeks ago I was flying to see my grandparents, and it was so so embarrassing. I tried to fit myself into one seat, but I just couldn't! The button on my jeans (which, apparently, are too... (view more)Hi, I'm Rachel.

I tried to fit myself into one seat, but I just couldn't! The button on my jeans (which, apparently, are too small now thanks to my quickly growing stomach) kept coming undone as I tried to force myself into the seat, and I kept bumping into the people around me. My legs and stomach are the worst, I have stretch marks and rolls everywhere. I know I need to lose weight, but the food always looks so good! I can't stop eating, it's an addiction. I can barely find clothes that fit now, please help me stop before I get any bigger! (view less)

Ht. 5'6", Start: 150 lb, Today: 124 lb (BMI %tile: 70) - In the matter of only 3 months, I cut out all soda and juice from my diet and just drank water. I lost about 5 pounds in a month without realizing it and when I saw that just a small change in my diet made such a difference to my weight, I gained a whole new confidence to lose the weight so that I can be happy with my body and change my lifestyle. My family and I always ordered lunch and dinner from a fast food restaurant and soon junk food became an addiction and I realized I needed to get my family to stop and thats exactly what I did, and when they did order pizza for example i would never eat it and have some veggies or cereal instead which really helped me not get tempted to eat the pizza and not give up on my diet.Everytime I thought of giving up, I'd think about how sad I am with my body, the fact that I'll never be happy in a...

Over a couple of weeks, I saw that I was losing a lot of weight and I became even more excited to lose even more weight.A month from when the diet started, I've lost 25 pounds which leaves me at 124 pounds. I now feel more cofident, happier, and excited to wear my bikini in the summer! I now only need to lose 15 more pounds and I'm so excited! If I can do this then you can too! :) (view less)

Ht. 5'2", Start: 265 lb, Today: 232 lb (BMI: 42), Goal: 135 lb - So i'm 2 pounds down and i've been in school for 3 weeks. It's kind of annoying because i've been workingout so much and so hard almost everyday and i felt like 2 pounds just wasn't good enough. But i am happy that some weight is coming of while i'm in school eating here is so hard because of all the fast food, but i've been staying away from it and controling my emotional eating. It's hard but my goal is to get down to a size 14 by the summer. Right now i can fit into a size 16 but i still wear a size 18 but it's really big on me. This is really hard but we all can do this =) good luck in everyone.

Ht. 5'3", Start: 152 lb, Today: 353 lb (BMI %tile: 98), Goal: 150 lb - I don't know how I let this happen to me. I didn't really realize how big I've gotten until I went to the doctor the other day. they made me put on the kind of papery gown, and I barely fit in it. My Mom was there when I was changing in to it- she has not seen me without full clothing for years- and it almost made me cry to see her face. I tried to hide all the rolls in my stomach and all the stretch marks because I've put on this weight since I started middle school- so basically in the last three years. My Mom was disgusted. The doctor told me I was hugely overweight, and that I need to do something about it. When we got home, my Mom made me jog around this loop in our neighborhood. It is only about 1/6 of a mile, and I could not do it. I was wearing a tightish shirt, and it kept riding way up, and my stomach kept falling out. My stomach is huge, and it was really embarrassing.

When I got back, i was breathing so hard and my stomach was hanging out, even though I'd walked part of the way. My mom said it was disgusting, and to look at how huge I am. I almost cried. later when my Mom went to work, I couldn't help myself, and I ate a ton of chicken nuggets and a burger and fries. and 3 pieces of chocolate cake and a coke. I couldn't help myself! I hate being this huge, I cram myself everyday into clothes that are too small cuz my Mom wont buy me bigger ones, its so embarrassing. Sometimes my jeans rip and almost none of my shirts can contain my whole stomach, so people have to look at my huge stomach, and i hate it! Help me! (view less)

Ht. 5'1", Start: 153 lb, Today: 148 lb (BMI %tile: 98), Goal: 125 lb - So, I've been overweight since I was 5. It sucked. I used to live in Los Angles, and seeing all the skinny celebrities and friends kinda tore down my self confidence. Then, a few months later, I moved to the Virgin Islands. Here, at least 99% of my friends are skinny. Whenever we go to the beach, I'm the only person wearing a one piece:( I want to lose weight for 1 reason. Every year, we have a Middle School Dance. Well.....everyone dances kinda slutty and there is this thing called grinding that they do. The boys only grind really skinny and pretty girls. I WANT TO BE ONE OF THOSE GIRLS!!!!! I realized what my problem is. At school, I ask for food from other people. So, I'd eat stuff like juice and cookies everyday. I don't drink a lot of juice anymore( like,a glass a month) but I'm trying to quit my cookie addiction. I'm Weight Watchers and I lost some weight. Wish me luck and leave comments<3

Ht. 5'4", Start: 248.5 lb, Today: 242 lb (BMI: 42), Goal: 170 lb - Here I am on this site once again! I used this site to help me lose weight before but was unfortunately unable to keep it off. I am 5 days in on my new journey and so far my spirits are high. I am really coming to terms with the fact that food addiction is real and that I suffer from it. For so long all I could think about is food, I lived my day by what are we eating for breakfast, lunch or dinner. I had a real bad habit of purging at night when no one is watching. After I watched the series premiere of "I Used To Be Fat" on MTV I decided to challenge myself. I want to lose 90 pounds by June 1st. I think I want and need it so much it is absolutely achievable. Best wishes to all of you on your weight loss journey :)

Ht. 5'1", Start: 192 lb, Today: 192 lb (BMI %tile: 98), Goal: 130 lb - I've tried dieting before, but I eat when I'm upset and my life has been filled with a lot of downs lately but I've decided that I don't want to be the girl that every laughs at because she gets tired after running a few laps in gym. I'm the second biggest one of all my friends, and i fell so huge when I stand next to all my size 0 friends. I weigh more then all my guy friends. Some days I just want to leave, and have it all be over. But then I realized I need help, so I was wondering if any of you had words of advice that could help me. I want to start looking beautiful and not having to feel bad about myself all the time.

I can't fit in any chairs, and they had to find me special chairs at my school. i got stuck in one of the old ones, and they had to get a janitor and 2 other teachers to help me get out.

I overeat so much always. sometimes when i think about how big i've gotten i cry, but then to make myself feel better i get more food, sometimes i eat a whole pizza and a bowl of candy. i used to have a boyfriend, and then i started putting on all the weight.

I Hate being the only Fat girl in my group of friends. i actually wanna have a boyfriend and go to dances and look pretty. hopefully by the time prom comes this year ill be out of the 200 and A-ok :D I find it useful to read books written by overweight authors that have took the time to loss weight and have recorded it. You might find diet girl to be motivational. Well thats all for today :d I wish everyone the best of luck through their weight loss journeys. :D Love Katie (:

Ht. 5'6", Start: 280 lb, Today: 401 lb (BMI %tile: 98), Goal: 180 lb - Hey peoples, I'm new to all of this so here it is. As you can see I'm an over-weight teen and it's been following me all my life. When i was in the fifth grade, i weighed 280lbs. and it's been down hll from there, well up scale, get it. My 8th grade year i weighed 365lbs. As you can see, I gained a lot of weight. I'm the kind of Fat Person that hides his pain through hilarity. Making others laugh to distract them from the way I look. But that's the thing, how do i know if they're laughing with me, instead of at me. That's the question I ask myself all the time. I'm now a freshman in high school starting with a clean slate. Walking the halls of high school Isn't so scary to me, well that's because I'm SO HUGE. You know, some of my friends use me as a walking brick wall to get through people. I don't mind, and then again, I do. Whenever people do they do that to me, I'm always lauhging,...

It's like a HUGE slap in the face, like, c'mon dude get yourself together. I've struggled with weight problems my whole life and it's really getting on my nerves. Whenever the holidays come around, I get SOOOO happy, all the great food and drinks especially Thanksgiving. Whenever it comes to holidays that include lots of food, and candy, I think to myself, "should i.....I know it's the wrong thing to do..... UGH!! forget it, diet tomorrow." Mentally i wanna lose weight, but physically i don't. I'm tired of being the ONLY FAT PERSON in the room where EVERYBODY looks at when you walk in. Then when you looke back at them they TURN AWAY and then once you've turned away, BOOM! their eyes are STARING directly at YOU. HEEEEEEEELP!!! I really need it. Please send me some tips. (view less)
