Ht. 5'4", Start: 130 lb, Today: 165 lb, Goal: 120 lb - I spent my 8th grade and 8th grade summer losing weight healthily and unhealthily but I went on one vacation and gained some weight and just kept going downhill. I've never weighed this much before and I hate it. I let it get so bad because I have a boyfriend who loves me for who I am so I didn't have to impress anyone, but now I realize I need to do it for myself. I'm completely determined. Summer's arriving and I know I'm going to have to wear a swimsuit soon and there are some bikini's I really like. I have much more of a confidence thanks to my boyfriend but I still feel so uncomfortable in my own skin and I want him to be able to brag about me, to not be able to keep his hands off of me. I honestly don't really know what to do because I've never purposely lost weight in a healthy way. I'm going to keep a food diary, keep a mental determination, and stop snacking. I'm going to...

Ht. 5'8", Start: 225 lb, Today: 178 lb, Goal: 150 lb - Alright, enough is enough. no more eating pizza, and drinking pop, and saying i'll start again tomorrow, im doing it this time. i know im perfectly capable. i mean, i followed my calories perfectly for a week and a half, and didn't even exercise, and i lost 5 pounds right in the middle of a plateau, so i know im capable of losing more weight, ive just got to stay on track and stop procrastinating. summer is coming and id LOVE to be at least 165... 160 preferably. i just hope i can stay motivated. anyways, good luck everyone, wish me luck i hope i dont mess up again lol see ya!

Ht. 5'10", Start: 180 lb, Today: 190 lb, Goal: 145 lb - OK so I'm really depressed. I went out shopping today and came back with 2 things. I tried on about 8. You know that horrible feeling when you're in the dressing room and something's tight or cuts into you of makes you bulge in the most horrible places? Yup. Then my mom says that I've gained alot of weight since the summer. I guess she's right. Over the summer, I lost 15 pounds and got down to 174 as my lowest weight. Now I've let myself go and I didn't even know it. I feel like a fat hippo, and if I get over 200, I don't know what I'm gonna do with myself. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to lose weight before the summer? I don't know what to do. :*(

Ht. 5'2", Start: 203 lb, Today: 173 lb (BMI %tile: 98), Goal: 125 lb - I have tried everything to lose the rest of my weight. I have tried eating right, exercising and everything I have not lost weight since July of 2007 which stinks. If I do lose weight by the next day it's back up to 175 again. I don't know what to do. I need to lose about 10 pounds before graduation. HELP

Ht. 5'5", Start: 151 lb, Today: 148 lb, Goal: 130 lb - i seriously just hate myself. i try and try and then i fail. today, i ate a small bowl of life cereal for breakfast and a special k bar and a bag of popcorn for lunch. so yeah, that was okay. only about 400 calories. thenn i got home from school and this is always my downfall. i ate a freaking piece of chocolate cake then like 15 ritz crackers with peanut butter and an apple. wth? i'm such a fatass. i tried to make myself puke it up, but i cant! i just gag and no food comes up. I just get so frusturated cause everyday i say okay, this is it, im gonna do well today. and i start out good then screw myself. now i cant even think of a way to work out cause its raining outside and i cant be active inside cause my house is old and it shakes. IM SO MAD !^$%&*&T3tr8f73. i wanna lose weight so bad, my friends are so thin and pretty and guys all like them and im the ugly fat one. i dont know what to do. i dont know how to commit. :( Sorry for the venting but im pissed as hell and i hate myself.

Ht. 5'7", Start: 150 lb, Today: 187 lb, Goal: 220 lb - Hi, i just wanna know if there's anybody else feeling like me. I've always been a little chubby and have been teased. I tried to lose pounds constantly, but it didn't work. I've gained more instead of. Now I've discovered that it is okay to be chubby or even fat. If i like it, i can be fat! So i can eat what i want and how much i want. I think it is okay! I've gained 37 lbs since my last diet and i feel well with it. Is there anybody out there who's feeling the same?

Ht. 5'7", Start: 180 lb, Today: 180 lb, Goal: 150 lb - I feel like every single time I attempt to get healthy and in shape, I fail terribly. I am DETERMINED this time not to give up. But that means I need support and need to stay focused. I would greatly appreciate any advice you guys want to throw my way. Things that have been working for you, things that haven't. Anything really! I want to turn my life around, and I'd like to think that realizing that is half the battle. Best of luck to everyone here! I may not know you, but you're all putting forth amazing effort and I'm incredibly proud. -xo

Ht. 5'8", Start: 147 lb, Today: 183 lb, Goal: 140 lb - OMG i cannot believe it. I have GAINED 12lbs since January. In fact, ive actually gained more than that because i started at 171 at start of Jan but got down to 163 at the end of Jan and since then i have climbed up to 183! That means i have gained 37lbs since August. That is freakin crazy and its all down to bulimia. I am so out of control it is unbelievable and it feels like i am never going to regain control of my life, my weight or my eating. The binges are becoming so frequent im consuming way too many cals to purge or exercise off so as a result i am gaining weight like crazy. In my attempts to lose weight i have become overweight. I feel so ugly, fat and depressed..even my aunt said to me the other day that i was looking rather fat (does wonders for the self esteem dont it?!?) Its so annoying because i know that if it werent for the binges id be losing weight like... (view more)

Ht. 5'8", Start: 225 lb, Today: 178 lb, Goal: 160 lb - k so i thought i'd never revert back to my old ways.. but i made myself throw up two days in a row after eating what i thought was too much. i dont do it all the time but sometimes it just eats away at me until i throw up, then i feel better, and not like a failure. im not bulimic though. this summer i did it for about a month after binging then i made myself stop. it didnt help either. i still didnt lose weight. i think that im just afraid of gaining weight when i eat a little too much. either way no more. i cant go back to that. otherwise though ive been okay. just anxiously waiting for these last 18 pounds to come offfffffff. anyways good luck guys!
