Ht. 5'7", Start: 196 lb, Today: 194 lb, Goal: 126 lb - Hi! I've been trying to lose weight for ages now, but I always find that I can either eat nothing at all, but if I start eating I can't stop! Anyone else like this? How do you deal with it? I really want to try and lose around 20lbs but February xx

Ht. 5'4", Start: 291 lb, Today: 283 lb, Goal: 180 lb - GREAT NEWS! (well for me) I lost 8lbs! lmao I lost 8 pounds! (yea I kno its water weight) I am so happy! I feel so motivated... and this is not my weigh in day! Tomorrow is! omg... I wanna cry... I really feel that I can do this... and sometime this weekend I am hoping to get my pedometer... like I said in an earlier post I noticed most of the change in my mid section but the back of my thighs are not as cellulitey (the front needs a bit of a miracle lol) and my arms kinda lifted...
I didn't exercise for the day yet... and the sun is out... so I'll do so tonight! :(Last night I had pizza... my parents aren't home and it's just me and my older brother here... and he bought us pizza... (if it helps he gave me the smaller slices)
hopefully I don't let this weight loss get to me because everytime I lose weight I use it as an excuse to eat because I said it's not going to do anything... and it does because I quit for months at a time...

I haven't been on here for a while but i'm really struggling and I know that i've always tended to lose the most weight while using this website. I just need some tips to help me from snacking. I have plenty of motivation to do this and i know what i need to do.. i just can't seem to put it into action. so any ideas how to stop snacking would be amazing. thanks. :]

Ht. 5'5", Start: 235 lb, Today: 199 lb, Goal: 130 lb - Ive been trying really hard. but its so difficult. My mom and I go for a bike ride every night when she gets home from work. Sunday we rode 13 miles. My legs are still hurting. I am thinking about starting the medifast 5 & 1 diet? Its hard to control what I eat. So i thought that if I do that then I would have my meals ready for me and then eat the lean meal at night. Cause I love salad with chicken. Im just ready to be at my goal weight and not have to deal with this anymore. Yet I still have a long way to go.

Ht. 5'6", Start: 210 lb, Today: 198 lb, Goal: 145 lb - I used to be on this site a few years ago when I was in the 170's, then I lost about 20 pounds. I guess I'm back! I gained back 60 pounds last year and my weight keeps bouncing between 195-210, and my waist keeps going from 39 to about 44 inches -- ouch! The school nurse does body fat percentages, and today I was marked as now being in the 40-50% range, so now I plan on sticking to a diet. My problem is that I get TONS of cravings for everything. I started keeping a food journal, and my calorie range is usually 3000-4000 calories a day, but I can't stop eating when I'm full and pigging out between meals! Anyone have any tips for cravings?

Ht. 5'4", Start: 180 lb, Today: 185 lb, Goal: 160 lb - When I was 11 (a little bit before my half birthday), I weighed 110 even. In a little less than 2 years, I gained 75 lbs. I eat all the time. It's always cookies, brownies, ice cream. One time, I ate about 10,000 calories worth of junk food ALONE in one day (not to mention my 3 meals). I know I'm fat, but I can't stop eating all this junk!

Ht. 5'2", Start: 196 lb, Today: 196 lb (BMI %tile: 98), Goal: 125 lb - I'm almost in the 200's. I'm so fat, I think I'm going to cry. I've lost all motivation, I just can't find any. I go out with my friends and avoid having pictures taken with them, because I look so fat all the time. My clothes only just fit. The trouble is, with me it seems to be all or nothing. I can eat nothing at all, but if I start eating, I won't stop. I need serious help.

Ht. 5'6", Start: 254 lb, Today: 268 lb (BMI %tile: 98), Goal: 154 lb - I'm 14 years old and I'm overweight, I've tried about a million diets and treatments and I just can't do, I've had no help, my parents are always too busy to support or help me in anyway and although I say I'm on a diet they still continue to cook foods that are bombarded with grease and fat can anyone give me any tips?

Ht. 5'3", Start: 362 lb, Today: 406 lb, Goal: 120 lb - I'm so sick of this... I literally haven't a clue how to stop eating. My stomach hirts so bad right now, and yet I'm still eating. Why? I don't even know! I weight four hundred pounds and I'm just going to keep on getting bigger. I almost think Jeremy has given up. I can't stop eating, and lately he's been trying less and less to get me to stop. I hate the way I look and the way I feel. I look in the mirror and what stares back at me is huge, fat, bulgy, and gross. And I can barely move because I'm so big. It's so hard... everything is so hard. And yet I keep eating. I think I probably will keep eating, until one day I explode. Because no matter how big I get, or how bad it hurts, I CAN'T stop. And I can't exercise, because I'm almost too big to move. Exercise is pretty much impossible. I feel hopeless. Thanks for the suggestions and help, but I'm beyond help. I'm so huge... and there's no way I can stop this. I'm just going to get bigger and bigger. =(

Ht. 5'4", Start: 210 lb, Today: 176 lb, Goal: 140 lb - Ok so my binging has gone out of control. Like completely out of control! I feel like I can't control myself. My brain just switches off and I eat everything I see and thats why I hate it when people leave the house and leave me alone and I go to the fridge and just eat everything like a pig. I feel like if I don't stop this I'll be back to where I was and that's the last thing I want! I can't get back to something that horrid! everytime I tell myself to not do it, I binge. It's like I don't listen to myself. It just happens like a reflex and I can't stop it. So I'm going on a 2 day fast (starting today) because I need to control myself and if I can control myself for 2 days I'll feel like I can do anything. I feel like I'm obsessed with food and I just have to complete this fast in order to get my mind straight and realize that food shouldn't be able to control me. I can control ... (view more)

Ht. 5'3", Start: 362 lb, Today: 406 lb, Goal: 120 lb - Hey it's Jess, Jeremy's little sis, again. Well, I thank people for all the support I got last time. I sort of do want to lose weight now that I think about it, but I think I'm more scared that I won't be able to because I don't know hpw. I'm still eating A LOT, and finally hit the 400 mark. I'm huge and it really is upsetting Jeremy to see his little sister be 4 times his size. (He' underweight and weighs only about 112 so I literally am getting closer to being fourtimes his weight.) It's getting harder and harder to move. My huge belly gets in the way and I can BARELY wrap my arms around my own stomach. It really scares me to know that if I don't stop soon I'll get even fatter! I never even realized it was possible to get so large. But I feel like I can't stop it... even right now, I'm eating oreos as I type this, and I feel so out of control. I think I have literally...
