Ht. 5'4", Start: 160 lb, Today: 188 lb (BMI %tile: 98), Goal: 128 lb - Heyy.
How are you guys?
I want to ask a question...
Is it right for your boyfriend to tell you that you need to lose weight?
I was wandering because my boyfriend is always saying stuff like " you know I love you for who you are but you need to lose weight" or "you are so pretty but if you lost some weight you would look and feel better about yourself"
like if he sees me eating chips he'll be like "woah look how much calories are in those"
and I know he loves me and is just trying to help but he knows I'm really sensitive about that stuff , and it doesn't help when he's 6 feet 130 pounds and 17 , he's like a stick.
And I don't know... Some of the stuff he says even if he's trying to help it makes me feel like crap.
So my question is what do I say when he says stuff that hurts

Ht. 5'1", Start: 260 lb, Today: 310 lb (BMI %tile: 98), Goal: 100 lb - I can't believe TWO weeks of SuMmEr is alREADY gone! ALL I want to DO this SuMmEr is SLEEP. I'm happy to not have to WALK around SCHOOL which is hard because of my WEIGHT. HopeFULLy this summer I won't GAIN any WEIGHT because I'm alREADY too HeAvY and I HATE it! Being OVERweight is the WORST because it HURTS to WALK and its HARD to BREATHE and everyone MAKES FUN of ME! It's so UNfair to have so many PROBlems just because I have CRAVEings and sometimes OVEReat. And it's UNfair that I can't exerCISE because of my WEIGHT but I can't LOSE weight until I EXERcise!!!
PS My stupid BROther is supposed to weigh 80 and he's OVERweight too becuase he weighs 140. But he doesn't EVEN care! He can RUN in footBALL and I can BAREly WALK 5 minutes at SCHOOL. And he feels FINE but I feel so HEAVY its like carrying a MOUNTAIN all the time!!! UnFaIr!!!

Ht. 5'4", Start: 280 lb, Today: 273 lb (BMI %tile: 98), Goal: 150 lb - Hey everyone. I can't seem to find any motivation. And when I start eating healthy, after like the second day, I just quit. And I start to think, is it really worth it to be skinny? All you people who have lost a significant amount of weight, is it worth it? I need some encouraging words, anyone care to give me any?

Ht. 5'6", Start: 210 lb, Today: 205 lb (BMI %tile: 96), Goal: 150 lb - hey everyone,
i used to come on here about 4 or 5 years ago but then just kind of slowly stopped, and since then i've gained weight. basically my problem with losing it is i need motivation, i just dont feel like exersizing, but i know i need to lose it cause summer is basically here and i'm definitley not comfortable with my body. so i'm going to try this site again for motivation and support and maybe some of you guys will help push me and keep me motivated? :) thanks in advance!

Ht. 5'1", Start: 220 lb, Today: 159 lb (BMI %tile: 98), Goal: 150 lb - I'm only 9 pounds away from my "goal", although that goal seems kind of pointless now. I was just looking at the BMI chart and apparently I have to be down to 130. That's seems so far away! I've lost 61 pounds, and will have lost 70 when I reach my "goal" and I'm proud of that... it's just that it doesn't feel like enough sometimes. Like last night, I had a sleep over and all of my friends are tiny... I felt so different. When we went swimming I was the only one not wearing a two piece. I don't know... maybe I should just suck it up and be greatful. I'll keep working.

Ht. 5'8", Start: 195 lb, Today: 195 lb (BMI %tile: 98), Goal: 150 lb - I have been having problems with my weight for a while now, and I just can't get any weight off. Just because friends tell me I'm not, all the other people have no problem letting me know. I want that to stop. I want to be able to fit pretty clothes, but I just can't lose weight. It's mostly my stomach though. I don't know how to get rid of it!!!!
