Ht. 5'6", Start: 170 lb, Today: 155 lb (BMI %tile: 90), Goal: 120 lb - Hi! I'm having a little trouble with weight loss and I saw this site. I'm an athlete- a swimmer and also a dancer. I swim vigorously for 5 hours a day 6 days a week,I take irish dance lessons 2 days a week and ballet 2 days a week. I ride my bike for about 20-25 miles almost everyday. I walk or ride my bike to school and its like 5 miles away. But i still can't lose enough weight to be healthy and it always comes back. I eat healthy and never too much. Some help? Also when people say im 'fat' they don't understand that i have a large frame due to swimming- broad shoulders etc. and that a lot of my body mass is muscle. My doctor told me all this. But he always says I need to lose weight. I know this, I've know it for the past 5 years!

People always tell me I'm beautiful and I think so too, but then there are some other things I wish were different- clothes never fitting, always being down on the teeter -totter, too heavy for those bungee things, people asking how much i weigh 'just because', comments behind my back at school, when my friend says 'the heavy person always rides in the back on rides' and most importantly how this affect my weight. I think I will benefit greatly from being my goal weight,but I don't know what to do. Any advice? (view less)

Ht. 5'1", Start: 205 lb, Today: 205 lb (BMI %tile: 98), Goal: 180 lb - Hey everyone! My name is Gabby and long story short, I have tried to lose weight ever since I was 14, but I have always failed. This site has helped me be motivated but I always seem to fail over and over again. I am leaving the past behind and I want to start again, and see where my future leads to. It would be great to have buddies during my journey, we could motivate each other!

Ht. 5'8", Start: 215 lb, Today: 215 lb (BMI %tile: 97), Goal: 160 lb - Hey guys. I have been having a rough time in the weight loss department. I lost a lot of weight a few years ago, but I have gained most of it back in the last couple of months. I have started riding my bike nearly 20 miles a day, but I am still gaining weight. I'm really starting to lose hope. I need a buddy, or multiple buddies, that I can talk to for support. Does anybody have any ideas?

Ht. 5'2", Start: 132 lb, Today: 129 lb (BMI %tile: 90), Goal: 110 lb - Hi. So I use to weigh 138 pounds (63kg) and now I weigh 129(59). I've being yo-yoing for roughly the past year and I'm sick of it. I HAVE lost weight but not much and I'm still really unhappy, really unfit and in the 'at risk of being overweight' section for my BMI. My goal weight is 110(50) and I plan to lose 19 pounds(9kg) by November 1st. I've just bought a wii fit, treadmill and am totally cutting out all my junk food beginning tomorrow. It's possible everyone who reckons it isn't. My Aunty did it, she lost 30 pounds in 2 months! :) I just wish my family was more supportive. My Dad deliberately says I'm fat, my brother shoves the food in my face and my Mum just keeps buying more and more junk to store in the cupboards. I don't expect them to cut out all junk for me, but some support would be nicer. Anyway, back to my point, my... (view more)Hi. So I use to weigh 138 pounds (63kg) and now I weigh 129(59).

I don't expect them to cut out all junk for me, but some support would be nicer. Anyway, back to my point, my Aunty did it while being surrounded with two kids who eat loads but never put on ANY weight, a husband who was never around and no training equiptment at all. The reason why I want to lose weight? One day, while I was walking to Macdonalds an older man walked up next to me and said hi. I smiled. We started chatting and stuff(yes yes, I'm the idiot who talks to strangers I know) and weight was brought up, he asked, 'Well, if you want to lose weight you have to decide, do you want to in reality or in your mind?' I thought it was a stupid question, but said in reality anyway, he chuckled and said, 'Well, if you want reality you must become the doer, if you want mentally you must become the dreamer.' He grinned.
I never met him again but that was after all the yo-yoing, in fact, that was today. I've being thinking now, who cares if my family aren't supportive? If I'm only 12? If I have no friends? If I never meet the man again? I'll always have those man's words in my head. So please, on November 1, look for my succes story. I promise by the end of November 1 2011 it will be there, at 110 pounds. :) (view less)

Ht. 5'4", Start: 190 lb, Today: 170.4 lb (BMI %tile: 94), Goal: 135 lb - I had a really crappy day today...I went to the Olive Garden with my sister. I brought home half of my dinner because I had already eaten 4 breadsticks, salad, and stuffed mushrooms. Then on the way home we got ice cream cones! I refer to my sister as a "diet sabotager" because all she wants to do is eat when we hang out. She tells me almost every time we go out to forget about my diet and live just that one night....I love my sister but there's a reason she's overweight. I don't wanna look like her. We look alot alike in appearance. Same hair, eyes, facial features. You can tell we are related. She had a daughter 2 years ago and people in my neighborhood always mix us up...I don't want people to think I'm her, or that I look like that. It's sad, but it is kind of what motivates me.

She doesn't like that I always turn her down when she wants to hang out. There are many reasons I say no, but the fact is I don't like hanging out with her because she brings back my old eating habits...where I don't think, I just eat. I came home after and jogged on the tredmile...I still feel stuffed from dinner. Does anyone have any advice on how I can let my sister know nicely that she's not helping me and I need her support? We are going to a concert on Saturday and she will undoubtedly want to go to dinner...I just worry that sometimes I won't be able to resist with her shoving food in my face and her eating so much in front of me making me feel like I'm not eating enough...advice? Anyone? (view less)

Ht. 5'5", Start: 285 lb, Today: 235 lb (BMI %tile: 98), Goal: 140 lb - I can't believe a few short months ago I was looking at myself, 50 pounds heavier, and didn't think I could change anything. I was so wrong! I still struggle with the depression everyday, thinking of how much farther I have to go and how I look. Even after 50 pounds, I can't see a difference, but everyone else can. I guess the whole distorted self-image thing is something I'll always have to deal with. But I've started a new workout plan, lots of cardio, twice a day. Drinking lots of water. And as far as a diet goes, I'm keeping it under 1500 calories a day. Eating mostly vegetarian, but also eating poultry. I feel really good right now. I haven't felt this way in months. I'm done letting my weight, and food, run my life. I will succeed, and it will be great :)

I want to loose 80 pounds in 10 months. I think thats possible. But, the reason I keep not succeeding is because I have no motivation. If anybody wants to talk, post here with your email adress!
