Ht. 5'5", Start: 190 lb, Today: 190 lb (BMI %tile: 98), Goal: 120 lb - Now, to start it all off, I know that my goal is a lot, but it's the weight I am supposed to be at. But anywhoo, I need help !!! I dance everynight. I am a very active person. I just did a lot of swimming and walking this weekend. And then I danced tonight. But it's like no matter what I do, I can't get of the the 180's(which is the lowest I have ever been). I just need help. And I want to be healthy. You see my dream is to be an actress/singer thing. And I really want this dream to come true, but what I want even more, is to be 120 lbs. Please help !! If you help me, I'll return the favor ! Thanks so much ! Peace and Love, Samantha :)

Ht. 5'5", Start: 170 lb, Today: 170 lb (BMI %tile: 91), Goal: 130 lb - Hi, so I'm wondering if y'all can give me some tips for not getting discouraged about losing weight. I lost about 5 or 10 pounds last school year because I walked to school every day and I just didn't eat as much, but since I've been home this summer I've just been really discouraged and depressed. I try to go to the gym 3 or 4 times a week, but lately I just can't motivate myself. I try not to eat a lot, but I feel like I'm failing at that so often. My family is going through a rough time right now and I feel like they're just too stressed with other things to be supportive right now. So, I'm just looking for insight and encouragement. Thank you.

Ht. 5'7", Start: 159 lb, Today: 159 lb (BMI %tile: 92), Goal: 125 lb - My grandma, great grandma, and parents have pretty much called me fat. Well really what they said was "You can stand to loose some pounds" in that tone many parents give. You know what I mean and I haven't had a boyfriend in four years and most of the girls in my grade acts like sluts they bounce from one boy to another. While I'm sitting in the corner.......alone. Alone and Fat. My friends say that if I lose atleast one pound and I waved my hair I could look like a popstar. I say I need to loose more than that but... So anyway wish me luck,as I wish the rest of you.

Ht. 5'4", Start: 192 lb, Today: 185 lb (BMI %tile: 98), Goal: 128 lb - Hey guys!
I haven't posted on here in a while.
Anyways, recentley i got down to 170 and then I gained some back ): and now I'm at 185.
And I do really want to lose weight.
And I know I'm unhealthy and all that.

And I know that I'll feel better once I shed some pounds.
But I just can't find the drive to lose the weight anymore.
And I am trying I just keep slipping up.
And honestley...i'm kind of afraid to lose the weight

I mean I've always wondered what it would be like to be skinny.
But I've always been the "fat kid" and I feel like I wouldn't be me without that label...i don't know why I feel like this I just do :/
but anyways any tips or suggestions you guys would have to help me get back on track would be a big help. Thanks! (:

Ht. 5'4", Start: 280 lb, Today: 275 lb (BMI %tile: 98), Goal: 150 lb - Alrighty everyone, tomorrow is officially day 1 of healthy eating for me! I am sick of standing still and doing nothing and not eating right or losing weight. I'm not going to weigh myself for three weeks, starting tomorrow! You see, I have this little obsession with weighing myself every single day. I don't want to do that, I just want to eat right/work out and hope for the best! Hopefully once the three weeks are over, I'll see a good loss. Think I can do this? :) Talk to me!
