Ht. 5'9", Start: 180 lb, Today: 180 lb (BMI %tile: 93), Goal: 140 lb - Hey guys- Ive been really upset about my weight ever since I was little. ive always been taht girl that was "bigger built" Now that Im getting older, I dont want to be her. I want to be beautiful. Now, I know that beautiful is whats on the inside, and ive got that, but all I ever wanted in life is to have a flat stomach and nicely shaped legs. I have nice legs now, but I want them to be nicer. My friends tell me Im okay- and I am, Im not fat. Im just tired of hating myself. Im so paranoid now to where I cant even walk out my front door without wantingto cry. What should I do? & dont tell mee xercise and eat right, because I already know that.

youre going to do great. Just dont give up! once i started losing weight i started slacking and it has been slowly coming back. so just keep yourself in check! and drink lots of water- that has helped me a ton. when i have cravings i just drink some water then its ok. In no way am i suggesting starving yourself, but make good choices. Treak yourself every once in a while, but try avoiding empty calories and foods with high sugar like sodea and candy. good luck!! (:

hey i am almost 5'11" (5'10.5") and i am 175. i stopped worrying about myself when i go out because i get so many compliments about my height and it makes me really happy. people are too busy noticing my height than looking at how fat i am. and like you, i really don't look that fat. hope i helped :) and good luck!
