Ht. 5'7", Start: 210 lb, Today: 210 lb (BMI %tile: 98), Goal: 180 lb - Eh,where to start..... I have been unhappy w.my weight for some years now. Im a junior in high school and i always told myself that once i entered high school i would be incontrol of my weight. I ended up crossing the 200 mark then came the guilt trip w. the food. With those trips i was telling myself its just life i cant loss these pounds. Im also like most ppl on here tired of being the overweight girl in class. I brought a workout DVD.... the instructor is jullian off biggest loser, but for some reason i cnt keep up w. doing it. When i do it i feel extra fat. My bday is on Jan.17 and for the last 3months i been counting down the dreadful day. I dont want to weigh in over 200lbs on my bday. Which means i have a month to at least some pounds. Hopefully when i feel like giving up i can come to this website and get re-motavated* ...... hopefully. Please fill free to respond w. any advice that helped you........im listening.

This is my first post. I hate my life and I gained about a stone in a year. I'm quite tall but I'm so FAT everwhere. I'd like to lose a few stones but that is really hard as I don't have very strong control over what I eat.
ny Ideas and support greatly recived

Ht. 5'0.5", Start: 151 lb, Today: 145 lb (BMI %tile: 96), Goal: 110 lb - I have no problem with exercising. I love exercising. I don't play any sports but I'm willing to go to the gym and walk long distances and stuff. It's really easy when you have music to listen to also. But my problem is eating. I have NO willpower at all. And that's why I gained 1 lb :(

Right now I am overweight and having to diet it is really hard being the fat one. I am active but I eat very unhealthy. my mom helps me all the time. She is worried that I will get diabetes on her side. my mom, grandma, and great grandma were overweight but my mom and grandma lost weight but sadly diabetes took my great grandmas life.

Ht. 5'5", Start: 192 lb, Today: 185 lb (BMI %tile: 98), Goal: 128 lb - I really want to lose weight but I don't have enough motivation. I really do hate being the fat kid for everything. The fattest kid in the family, the fattest girl on the cheer squad. I just really hate it. It makes me feel horrible and ugly. I feel like people judge just because of my weight. And I have a boyfriend and I know he's uncomfortable with my weight. That just makes me feel worse like he said that he loves me no matter what but I should be healthier. And I mean I know it's true. But at the end of the day I just don't have any willpower to get up and exercise or to not eat junk food. I just want to be the best I can and looking the way I do makes me feel worthless :/ please help.

Ht. 5'3", Start: 180 lb, Today: 180 lb (BMI %tile: 98), Goal: 145 lb - In 8th grade I weighed 140. That is smallest I ever noticed myself being. I am now a junior in highschool. Over the past three years I have gained 40 lbs. I have went through stages where I excercised but never have been able to keep doing it. It drains my energy soooo bad. Yesterday I started excersising and eating well again and also have got my mom who has been obese for many years to start going with me. Please give me any tips you can. Thanks.

Ht. 5'8", Start: 156 lb, Today: 156 lb (BMI %tile: 91), Goal: 140 lb - Hello all I have came from the preteen board so I made today's weight my starting weight.
Here's basically my situation.
I am kind of in the middle weight range for my school.
There are people that litterally eat salads 6 times as big as i do and get like to or three courses of the lunch menu and they know their weight and dont care.
Then there are people who eat a normal lunches but get like junk food all of the time and they are still skinny because of my metabolism.
Here is what I eat.
What the school serves if its really greasy i get extra napkins to wipe the grease off, crutons with ranch (i know ranch is not healthy but I only get a scoop to a scoop and a half on a scoop of crutons and i dont get it every day)
I am in tae kwon do every day and I usually walk home from school unless I am sick or its super cold or hot.

Ht. 5'4", Start: 170 lb, Today: 170 lb (BMI %tile: 96), Goal: 145 lb - So my first two months of high school have been really good but I just don't want to be this unhealthy for all four years. I look at all my skinny friends and get so jelous. Guys constantly tell me that I'm pretty but they'd like me if I were skinnier. I know I'm making this sound like I'm just doing it for them but I truly want to do this for myself and become healthier. I want to sign up for lacrosse in the spring and I want to be fit for that. wish me luck:]
