Ht. 5'2", Start: 172 lb, Today: 172 lb (BMI %tile: 98), Goal: 132 lb - Hey guys, it's been about two weeks since I've been on here and let me tell you it's been the worst two weeks ever! It was like as soon as school started all my thoughts of getting healthy went out the door. One thing that deterred me the most was the idea that this is going to be a really journey. I mean i didn't expect to lose 40 lbs in a week but I didn't realize how hard it would be and how long it would take*sigh* I need motivation. What are somethings that keep you guys going throughout your weight loss journeys?

Ht. 5'4", Start: 155 lb, Today: 150 lb (BMI %tile: 92), Goal: 105 lb - Patty isn't my real name but everything else is true I didn't put my real name because this is kinda emmbearsing to say but it seems like every time I try to start a diet I start off like really good in the beginning then at night it's recked and I eat like everything I see. Then the next day I say "yeah today I am starting" then I never do :( I even tried telling my self to eat four pices of fruit a day and water and nothing else but it nevers works and I get so MAD AT MYSELF. Because everyone around me are super skinny and are like in a modeling agency and stuff

Ht. 5'4", Start: 144 lb, Today: 142.5 lb (BMI %tile: 85), Goal: 120 lb - Ugh! I've been doing awful! I don't even want to go on the scale, because I’m afraid of what I’ll see. I keep making up excuses as to why I should eat that ice-cream or have that extra helping. And yeah, it doesn't help that my mom is always buying stuff like ice-cream and frozen pizza. It's hard to fight temptation when your surrounded by it! And both my brother and my mother are over-weight, so I don't know why she keeps buying all this stuff! She bought these donuts two days ago, and my brother finished the whole box! I know she's trying to get us what she thinks kids want and should have at this age, but it's not helping us!!
I have to lose this weight you guys. I'm serious; I can't be like this anymore. I don't want to be like this, and I’m really frustrated because I just can't seem to do it. I wear size 7-9 pants! I look awful in pictures! I’m so flabby! I can’t stand it!
I’m so upset with myself. How did I let myself get like this?

Ht. 5'9", Start: 353 lb, Today: 353 lb (BMI %tile: 98), Goal: 170 lb - Ever tried carrying around two hundred pounds? That's my life. I live everyday wish I could live a active, healthier life. My weight keeps me from doing ALOT of things! I can't go somewhere new without thinking am I going to be able to fit? Will the chairs break? I can no longer go to the movies because I can not bear to squish my fat into the little seat. I'm so sick of the weird looks. I'm tierd of my fat getting in the way of relationships. Ive always been BIG I had my first outbreak of stretch marks in the third grade.... I need support I can't do this on my own. I just want to be a inspiration to people, & live my life to the fullest && never regret a single moment!!

Ht. 5'3", Start: 203 lb, Today: 199 lb (BMI %tile: 98), Goal: 140 lb - I feel really alone in this weight loss project. I mean, my family is "doing this" with me. But they don't understand. Theyre not my age. Can somebody help me? Sort of, be my weight losing buddy? Preferably someone my age and close to my weight, a lot of you girls are way skinnier than me, but I just need someone to motivate me. I promise I will help you back as best as I can!

Ht. 5'3", Start: 203 lb, Today: 199 lb (BMI %tile: 98), Goal: 140 lb - Hi everyone. I'm knew to this but I read some bulletins and I just wanted to share. So yesterday my whole family and I started our new diet. Well, it's not really a diet, we're just trying to be more healthy. So far I've done pretty well. We all drink 3 bottles of water a day. We also have structured dinners together, which usually consist of some kind of meat, a vegetable, and some other random (healthy) thing. Also, I jog on the treadmill for 20 minutes. It's so hard though!! There's so many temptations at school and when all of my friends are eating cookies and other sweets right in front of me, I could just cry. Does anyone have advice on how to resist the temptation?

Ht. 6'2", Start: 263 lb, Today: 262 lb (BMI %tile: 98), Goal: 185 lb - Starting this weight loss journey is scaring me so much. I have absolutely no idea how I am going to lose almost about 80 pounds. Today went fairly well. I tried to cut back on the soda (I usually drink about 6 a day, today I only had 3). I know I need to cut it out completely but there is no way I am going to be able to do it at first. I tried taking smaller portions and not snacking throughout the day (I can't imagine how I became this overweight ;-) I think my dad is going to end up being a very encouraging force. For some unknown reason, I think he thinks I can do this. I hope it works but I'm not terribly optimistic. Thankfully school starts again tomorrow and I won't be sitting around at home for most of the day. Thanks for everyones advice yesterday, I decided on 185 because it turns out 190 is the max for my height/age and I wouldn't mind being a little below the max. But that is a long tikme off.

Ht. 6'2", Start: 263 lb, Today: 263 lb (BMI %tile: 98), Goal: 220 lb - I am a senior in high school and the oldest of 5 brothers. I have always been overweight but only recently has it really began to bother me. I would definitely look to lose some weight before going off to college. I just do not know where to start. I know I am one of the few guys on here but I would appreciate it if you would help me. Is 220 a good goal weight? I am tall at 6 foot 2 so while it might seem heavy I think losing 40 pounds would help me. Or should I lose more? I carry a lot of the weight in my stomach and I have moobs. My waist is 40+ inches. I started to get worried because I found out I weigh more than my dad now who i always thought of as fat so to think i weigh more when we are the same height freaked me out. just help me any way you can. thank you.

Ht. 5'2", Start: 174.4 lb, Today: 174.4 lb (BMI %tile: 98), Goal: 124 lb - Hi, so I'm Sophia and I'm new to this site. I've tried dieting before but I've never been consistent. I kind of figured since it's a new year I might as well start fresh. I feel like this year is going to be big and I want to do my best to make sure it is. I would really appreciate it if you guys gave me some tips and advice on how I could reach my goal because I want to lose a whopping 50 lbs...I want to wish everyone a happy new year, because this is our year to make a change, I can just feel it! :)

Ht. 5'5", Start: 190 lb, Today: 184 lb (BMI %tile: 98), Goal: 135 lb - Hey, I was happy to find a sight were other kids can understand were I'm coming from. All my friends are skinny, and anytime I wanna talk about it they roll their eyes and mutter "your not fat". It really hurts that I'm the biggest one in my family besides my father. People just don't understand. The biggest thing I want out of weightloss is wearing WHATEVER I WANT WHENEVER I WANT lol

Ht. 4'10", Start: 200 lb, Today: 200 lb (BMI %tile: 98), Goal: 115 lb - I have been basically over weight my whole life and I'm tired of it! As a kid my parents would always smile and tell me I will grow out of my baby fat and I never did. I am ready to change that. I'm tired of trying to lose weight and then giving up. I'm not satisfied with that any more. I am a happy person but I'm not happy with myself when I look in a mirror. Don't get me wrong there are times when I look at myself and feel pretty for the day but I want the other 364 days to feel the same... So here is day one :) I plan to post once a week to let you guys see how far I have come from day 1. If there is any one who needs an online buddy, I am more than happy to oblige. :)

Ht. 5'7", Start: 154 lb, Today: 157 lb (BMI %tile: 91), Goal: 140 lb - I'm fed up. I'm fed up of dieting. I'm fed up of yoyoing. I'm fed up of not fitting into any clothes. I'm fed up of having friends who, although weigh the same as me, are still skinnier. I know alot of you might think that i'm not that heavy and that you have way more to lose. It makes no difference. Anyone have any tips 4 me? All i do is lose.... then gain.... then lose and then gain another 7 lbs back :( I have little motivation. And now,... its christmas :(. last year i put on 10 lbs. i do not want to be 167 by the end of this one. I just wanna be thin. Things is, I eat far too much. I know i do. But I cant stop, or i stop eating. Anyone have any tips?

Ht. 5'5", Start: 11 st 13, Today: 11 st 13 (BMI %tile: 94), Goal: 10 st 7 - I've never been the slimmest of people, I won't deny it. But I used to be a normal looking person. Now I feel fatter - no, I AM fatter than all my friends.I feel horrible in my PE kit and looking at my best friends who are long legged, stunning and model-thin, its very degrading. I can't talk to my parents about it because they wouldn't understand. I'm pretty much desperate to make myself lose weight - I know its bad, but I've started skipping meals. I don't even feel hungry any more, I feel like I'm binge-eating all the time. Help! :(  (Note: 11 st 13 is 167 lb.)
