Ht. 5'3", Start: 170 lb, Today: 128 lb (BMI: 23), Goal: 115 lb - I have had my fair share of stare downs with the numbers on the scale my entire life. In fact, I started posting on this website when I was just 14, searching for help, for answers. Now I am back. I had my son last September and I gained a lot of weight... went from 115 to 170 and now I'm working hard to get it off. I am down to 128 but still feel like I am bloated. Don't know if anyone has a Kinect but if you do and need a motivator get the Biggest Loser game that goes with it. It keeps you on track as far as work outs go. I feel obligated to earn point everyday instead of falling behind. Anyway, I hope to make many more posts in the coming weeks to help other people out. Heads up!

Ht. 5'3", Start: 180 lb, Today: 139 lb (BMI: 25), Goal: 120 lb - Hi everyone. I've gained a few pounds back, and I'm pretty discouraged. I've been excercising pretty regularly but I've been eating terribly. I need to get back on track!! I'll be graduating college at the end of May and I really want to be at 120-125 lbs. I just need to get motivated and back on track! I got new running shoes today, and I'm ready to start fresh on Monday.

Ht. 5'4", Start: 248.5 lb, Today: 229 lb (BMI: 39), Goal: 170 lb - WHOOO-HOOO! I am down 19 1/2 pounds and I feel great! Yesterday I was able to put on a pair of jeans that I haven't fit into in about 8 months. Although I am losing weight, and choosing healthier choices, I feel like my habit of eating just because it tastes good is finding its way back into my life. So I need to really concentrate on waiting until I am hungry to eat and only eat until I am full, not full to the point of sickness. I strongly feel that watching Biggest Loser and I Used To Be Fat is a real motivation for me, well, that and the fact I feel better, look better and love better. I think I am starting to love myself more and with that I can love my boyfriend not more but better because I am not so self-conscience. My Mom told me the other day that my Dad was really proud of me and he drags about the fact I get up and exercise every morning. I am... (view more)

Ht. 5'5", Start: 170 lb, Today: 170 lb (BMI %tile: 93), Goal: 150 lb - Like many of you, I have struggled with weightloss my entire life. I attended Camp Shane which is basically a fat camp and lost 15lbs! It was really hard to keep off after leaving that environment and needless to say i put the weight back on in only 2 months. :( i'm back at it again tho. This time i'm not gonna quit. I recently signed up with a personal trainer and have been eating right, but there are still those times when i allow myself to eat things i shouldn't because it's the only way for me to stay on a diet.
Another thing i'm doing differently this time is that i am only weighing myself once every month because i'm tired of not seeing the change i feel like i worked hard and deserve. Everytime i start the weightloss process i want the pounds to shed away quick, but i know this cannot always be the case.
This site always helps to motivate me, so your comments are GREATLY appreciated.
I'll let yawl know my next update on March 1st!

Ht. 5'2", Start: 165 lb, Today: 161.5 lb (BMI %tile: 98), Goal: 100 lb - I come from a pretty... large family. My mother has to weigh over 250 lbs and my dad probably weighs in closer to 300. I try to eat somewhat healthy. For example, my typical diet includes a drink with nothing but fruit and vegetable juices and vitamins for breakfast, for lunch I have half of a salad [my school has somewhat large salad portions] and a few saltine crackers, and for dinner I have a serving of meat, 1 to 2 servings of vegetables, and a starch or two. My snacks usually include spinach and/ or carrots and a little ranch dressing. I don't usually exercise on a regular basis, except for my walk home from my bus stop, which goes down 3 streets. I can't fit into normal clothes because most of my body fat is in my stomach. It's HUGE. Normal clothes don't fit me because of my weight, so I can't shop at normal stores that teens and preteens do like Aeropostal or ... (view more)

But I can't. Anyone have any tips? Juss so u no, I eat pretty good as it is. I have PE at school. (everyday, obviosly.) & sometimes I will play wiifit plus or do some exercises from my apps. It's cold right now, so I cnt go out to exercise or do activites. Another thing that I notice is dat I lack in exercise & activities. I Rlly dnt do anything. Wen I do, I give it my all. But dats on occasions, so I dnt no. I'm planing to join Curves with about 4 other friends. Since there's a 30-day free trial. But idk if I am yet. I have to ask, if my parents say no, den none of us can go, since I'm their ride. /: hopefully dey say, yes.(:
Well I'll stop, good luck to all! & dnt forget to share tips! ;D

I am friends with all the popular kids who are all in good shape and have girlfriends and they do stuff on the weekends. I never do anything because i feel like i dont fit in. I am very active because i play Football Baseball and I wrestle for the HighSchool. My problem is i eat WAYYY!!! to much. I dont get alot of support from my family and i need to turn my weight around.

Ht. 5'7", Start: 216.4 lb, Today: 208.4 lb (BMI %tile: 98), Goal: 160 lb - I haven't posted since september and things haven't been going well. I've gained 7lbs. since last time I checked. My problem isn't that I don't exercise. I dance three days a week, go to weight a classes and zumba classes. I love to exercise but my love of food just out weights it. I started buying food at school which is never a good plan and eating during the night. One thing i wish for is to have someone to talk about this stuff with. When the conversation about weight comes up with my friend, they all say that I look fine and not to worry. But I AM OVERWEIGHT!! I know it, and though my friends are trying to be nice and not say anything I would perfere them to say that they know I have a problem and are willing to help instead of pretending like there is nothing wrong. My two friends who also aren't in the best shape don't help... (view more)
