Ht. 5'4", Start: 180 lb, Today: 180 lb (BMI %tile: 95), Goal: 130 lb - So I guess I've always been overweight, and I've always known it. I've told myself multiple times that now was the time to lose weight. But I never followed through. It wasn't until a few days ago when started feeling completely disgusted by the way I look. So now really is the time; I'm going to do it, I'm going to lose the weight. I'm not asking to lose all the weight really fast. I know that it's not just going to fall off. I have to work to loss it. And that is exactly what I'm going to do. Wish me luck :) And good luck to everyone else! It will be worth it in the end!

Ht. 5'4", Start: 160 lb, Today: 187 lb (BMI %tile: 98), Goal: 128 lb - Hey you guys,
I haven't posted on here in forever...
And the last time I posted on here I was smaller than I am now.
So yeah, I've gained.
And I hate being fat. Well I'm guessing everyone else on here hates it too right?
I hate looking in the mirror and feeling so disgusting.
I usually don't confide in people abot how I feel about my weight. I've only told a few people.

One of my friends said: " Your not fat, those are curves"
And I'm thinking yeah easy for you to say size 3 in pants.
And my boyfriend jut completely ignores the fact of me being overweight and he says I'm not and that I'm just not a fake annorexic girl.
Sometimes when we hug he grabs my love candles and I feel so embarrassed and mortified.
I hate looking bad in all my clothes.
I hate that when I sit there is a huge lump of flabbiness on my lap.
And...

Ht. 5'4", Start: 185 lb, Today: 168 lb (BMI %tile: 95), Goal: 130 lb - I've gained 2 pounds! AH. I know it's not a lot but honestly, COME ON! I just can't find the motivation to exercise or eat healthy. I did that diet with my mom a while back and I thought her and I had agreed to eat healthier and exercise but she keeps bringing home crap like doughnuts and cinnamon rolls (which are my weakness). I need so much help, and she's not even supporting me like we had planned. I'm just so worried that I'm going to gain all 17 pounds back. It's hard to be in a house where nobody exercises or even cares. So here is my questions for you guys : How do YOU overcome an unsupportive household and how do you find the motivation to exercise?

Ht. 5'4", Start: 200 lb, Today: 196 lb (BMI %tile: 98), Goal: 190 lb - So, It isnt officially weigh in day, but i felt good, so i had to weigh myself. 4 pounds. :) In less then one week. I feel awesome, and Im almost halfway to my first goal weight.Once I hit 190 I will probably set a new goal weight, like another 10 pounds, but im not sure yet.
The sad part is that. every night my parents go to bed at 9 on the dot, and as soon as their in bed I cant control my hunger. and I pig out, And I just dont know how to stop those cravingfs late at night. Any advice?

Ht. 5'2", Start: 186 lb, Today: 186 lb (BMI %tile: 98), Goal: 150 lb - because of me walking to school each day it makes me late. the reason why is because im to slow to get to school on time. and it takes me 30 to 45 mintues to get from 135 to 114 and i think thats bad because i walk to school everyday. and when i come from lunch it takes me for ever to get up the steps to make it on time for my next class. and im sick and tried of my weight cause its not allowing me to do the things i want to do . like i want to be on the volleyball team or be a cheerleader something. but i cant cause of my weight . no boys want to talk to me because of my weight. and i want to be popular but i cant because i dont have the look. so im just saying that i need to change and be in fit for my age and never to look out of the picture because im so big and short

Ht. 5'6", Start: 205 lb, Today: 205 lb (BMI %tile: 97), Goal: 130 lb - Hi guys! My friend told me about this site so I thought I would give it a try! She said she got some great responses so maybe I will to. I have always been chubby but I have recently been putting on more weight. I am always eating. It's not that I'm hungry, I'm just never full. Which I like to feel full in order to be satisfied. I am embarassed around my friends about how much I eat that I will eat something before I go out with them in order to make it seem like I don't eat that much. And that is usually fast food cuz it's quick and cheap. All my clothes are getting tight and my stomach is starting to hang over my pants. So it's getting hard to cover up. I have never been on a diet before because I was ok with my chubbiness. I was always about 40 lbs overweight but I have put on 30 lbs in a couple months and have gone past 200. Any tips on where to start?

Ht. 5'4", Start: 160 lb, Today: 145 lb (BMI: 25), Goal: 130 lb - I overeat all the time- I just really like the feeling of being full. I've been trying to think of food as fuel and not a pastime, but it's so easy to overeat, especially if you're out with friends. I mean, who can finish a Chipotle burrito? I can. Those portions are outrageous. I know I need to exercise more, and hopefully now that I'm posting I'll feel like I really need to stick to my goal. Good luck guys!

Ht. 5'5", Start: 158 lb, Today: 165 lb (BMI %tile: 96), Goal: 154 lb - Hiya my name is kaya copeland and I'm from the uk. I have only been overweight for a year now. It all started when I ripped a muscle in my leg in august last year. I had to stop all my exersize including cheer dance and everything at school. Therefore I gained a lot of weight but I did get down to 158 which I was pleased about . Somehow I managed to gain all the weight back and a bit more but I didn't realise until I stepped on the scale yesterday. The thing Is I have a really good self esteem and good body image all of my friends think I look fine . But I no longer wish to look this way. I have decided to loose all the weight by my birthday on the 18 June but I know I can do it. I would like some help if possible and I will help anybody all I can.
Looking forward to replys
