Ht. 5'4", Start: 185 lb, Today: 168 lb (BMI %tile: 95), Goal: 130 lb - I've gained 2 pounds! AH. I know it's not a lot but honestly, COME ON! I just can't find the motivation to exercise or eat healthy. I did that diet with my mom a while back and I thought her and I had agreed to eat healthier and exercise but she keeps bringing home crap like doughnuts and cinnamon rolls (which are my weakness). I need so much help, and she's not even supporting me like we had planned. I'm just so worried that I'm going to gain all 17 pounds back. It's hard to be in a house where nobody exercises or even cares. So here is my questions for you guys : How do YOU overcome an unsupportive household and how do you find the motivation to exercise?

Ht. 5'4", Start: 200 lb, Today: 196 lb (BMI %tile: 98), Goal: 190 lb - So, It isnt officially weigh in day, but i felt good, so i had to weigh myself. 4 pounds. :) In less then one week. I feel awesome, and Im almost halfway to my first goal weight.Once I hit 190 I will probably set a new goal weight, like another 10 pounds, but im not sure yet.
The sad part is that. every night my parents go to bed at 9 on the dot, and as soon as their in bed I cant control my hunger. and I pig out, And I just dont know how to stop those cravingfs late at night. Any advice?

Ht. 5'5.5", Start: 181 lb, Today: 181 lb (BMI %tile: 94), Goal: 120 lb - Current Weight: 129.4. I FINALLYYYYYYYY broke into the 120s! I'm sooooo happy! It was a lot of work and I'm glad that I finally stopped lying to myself and being oblivious to the fact that I was indeed fat and needed to lose the weight! I'm just flabbergasted right now because I was NEVER in the 120s when I was in high school!!! This is truly amazing and I can not believe that little old me who would find any excuse to indulge in sweets and not exercise has finally lost over 50 pounds. If I can do it.... so can you!!! =D

Ht. 5'2", Start: 186 lb, Today: 186 lb (BMI %tile: 98), Goal: 150 lb - because of me walking to school each day it makes me late. the reason why is because im to slow to get to school on time. and it takes me 30 to 45 mintues to get from 135 to 114 and i think thats bad because i walk to school everyday. and when i come from lunch it takes me for ever to get up the steps to make it on time for my next class. and im sick and tried of my weight cause its not allowing me to do the things i want to do . like i want to be on the volleyball team or be a cheerleader something. but i cant cause of my weight . no boys want to talk to me because of my weight. and i want to be popular but i cant because i dont have the look. so im just saying that i need to change and be in fit for my age and never to look out of the picture because im so big and short
