Okay so I've always been a little overweight my whole life, I only started realising it more frequently 3 years ago. All of this year and last year I have tried so many different ways to lose some weight, but it just never works. I'm also very lucky that even though I'm overweight, I'm a sporty person and do intense sports throughout the year which helps maintain my weight. Because I am a more higher fitness level than other peers despite my weight and I can easily participate in sports and do the same things "thinner" girls can, I've always thought just keeping with my sports would be enough. I was so wrong.
I'm a genrally lazy person. The only reason I'm fit and can go for runs is my live of sport. But without sport, I'm very lazy. This is where I tend to slip up... You see, ... (view more)READ FOR TIPS AND MOTIVATION FOR TEEN WEIGHT LOSS!!

I was so wrong.
I'm a genrally lazy person. The only reason I'm fit and can go for runs is my live of sport. But without sport, I'm very lazy. This is where I tend to slip up... You see, The sport I play only occurs throughout the winter season. This means intense training all the way through winter. Some years I jump into summer sport too, but that's more social than competitive.
When I stop intense training and normal workout routines, I usually just stop. Like low key stop. I spend my nights on my phone, and weekends on my phone lol.
I never realised that I can't just expect to turn up to training and games and that's it. There's a lot more work than that.
Anyway, maybe at the begging of September (1 month after my sport had finished) I weighed myself and was a shocking 150 lbs!! That has to be the heaviest I've been ever, and it was a shock to me. That was when everything went down.
It was as if the number on the scale controlled my self esteem, the higher the number, the more self conscious I was.
I started intense fasting and didn't eat all day until dinner. My friends kept asking me why I wasn't eating, and I just kept making up excuses. I wasn't exercising (suprisingly) but I was constantly fidgeting because I read a article about how it burns calories. I was tired and not getting any sleep, and was just so miserable. To make matters worse, I would start binging on food late at night.
It was a repeating cycle. Don't eat all day, Stuff my face with food. I actually didn't purge though. I tried it once but hated it.
So basically until the end of November I was rapidly losing weight and gaining it all over again. My periods weren't coming and I was getting involved with pro ano and meanspo.
(Meanspo is basically reading hateful comments about your weight to encourage you to lose weight).
At the start of December, I had enough.
I began eating normal again, but watching what I ate.
I would eat breakfast, lunch and dinner. Nothing else. I tried to avoide snacks as much as possible but it was hard because I didn't tell my family about my weight loss.
At first I would get so frustrated that the number on the scales were the same, and sometimes higher. I still am. But what I've learnt about weight loss is that it doesn't just happen in a month, it's gradual:)
So it's currently dec 21 and I'm 145 (66 kgs)
Can't say that I'm thrilled about my weight. But hey, it's something.
My weight loss journey has only started and I hope to get from 66 kgs to 50 by the end of February.
It seems realistic enough haha.
My advice for all you young teens~
Honestly, even though 'love yourself' message is positive, don't fall for that BS.
You can't love yourself if you dislike your appearance can you?
If you have just had a massive weight loss and are satisfied but want to lose a little more, go for it!
I'm sure you will love yourself more and give yourself more self-respect when your happy with yourself :)
So go out their and slay sisters! (view less)

Unfortunately I fell off the band wagon and gained more weight throughout high school. (In my last post I was a freshman- now I’m a senior. I gradute in 2 weeks!) On the bright side, about 2 months ago I made major life changes and stuck with my new lifestyle. I just found out that I lost 30 pounds! Also, I bought a beautiful prom dress and I can’t wait to show it off. A lot of hard work went into wearing that dress and I’m extremely proud of myself. It’s funny looking back and reading my old posts... if only I knew hahaha. Hard work, dedication, exercise, and healthy food are the only things that will help you lose weight. Crazy diets, pills, and strenuous exercise won’t help, I PROMISE. JUST STAY MOTIVATED.

Start: Ht. 4'9", 122 lb ( BMI %tile: 98) Today: Ht. 5'1", 129.2 lb (BMI %tile: 95) - I didn't have to really do anything. If you really want to know the secret, I will tell you. If you start out being overweight or obese before puberty, then just wait out puberty. I know this sounds lazy, but trust me. Even though my weight has gone up, it is unproportional, and therefore my BMI has gone down. The reason it hasn't gone down that much is because I have barely started puberty. But seriously, just wait. The height will straighten out the extra weight. What should happen is that the weight stays the same but the height goes up a lot, and you will feel skinnier. People that I haven't seen in over a year will say that I have lost weight, even though I know I haven't lost weight; I have gained height. I feel much skinnier now, and I can even relax a little bit because I am skinnier. Thanks :-)

I used to feel like a lot of you guys about 2 years ago. I was depressed and tons of people made fun of me. One day I went to the doctor and they told me that I was borderline diabetic and that if my weight kept going up then I would become type 2 diabetic and have heart issues later on in life. That was my breaking point. After that visit with the doctor, I took all those mean comments that people would say about me and used it as motivation to lose weight. I'm now 40lbs down from where I was and I have another 55lbs to go. If I can do it you guys can too. :)

Start: Ht. 5'3", 147 lb ( BMI: 26) Today: Ht. 5'3", 112 lb (BMI: 20) - I cut out processed foods and sweets, i ate only a handful of letttuce, a handful of baby carrots, and six reduced fat triscuts with a thermos of water for school lunch everyday for a month and i rarely ate processed foods at home and if there was no nonprocessed food around then i wouldnt eat until i could find something healthy. Also i exercised 7 days a week at home for at least an hour a day, usually 2 or three hours on average. I lifted 2 lb weight, ran up and down stairs, and rode a stationary bike whenever I watched tv or a movie. Then when i went to university i only ate from the salad bar and i exercised 1-3 hours everyday and i read all ny class readings while on an olliptical or stationary bike. Six months later i started using the MyFitnessPal app and that helped me lose nearly another 15lbs more after having already lost 22lbs before starting at university. Now i weigh about 112lbs and am 8 lbs away from my goal weight! :)

So when growing up I was a normal weight. Then in 5th grade I became "chubby". You could tell that I was a bit overweight but not obese. When in 5th grade, I was 4 '11 and weighed 100 pounds. I needed to lose weight but was frustrated with everyone telling me what to do. I tried for 3 days but soon gave up, I was back to eating junk food and etc. At that time I had no idea how to work out, what to eat, and etc. Then all of a sudden during summer I hit puberty. I was 5'2 and 100 pounds. I became "skinny" for the first time. I was so dumb I started overeating because I thought I was going to be skinny forever. Soon I gained 20 pounds. Now in 8th grade I am 135 pounds. I only workout in the summer because I need time for other things. I have designed a plan for me to lose weight. First you need a...

Now in 8th grade I am 135 pounds. I only workout in the summer because I need time for other things. I have designed a plan for me to lose weight. First you need a reasonable goal weight for your height. Something like 115 pounds for a 5'4 is reasonable not 75 pounds. During school days try walking. You can do it for an hour or you can have a step goal (like 5000 steps a day). Or if you want it to be more quick try searching youtube workout videos at home/search videos which are the best fit for you like cardio, aerobics, and etc. Dancing is also a good exercise. Try making these workouts small but on the weekends do something for an hour. In the summer just try to do as much as you can if you are dedicated. Currently I need a motivation for me to lose weight and that's why I want to help other kids who struggled like me. REMEMBER ONCE YOU LOSE THE WEIGHT YOU NEED TO MAKE A LIFESTYLE WITH AT LEAST 30 MINS ON EXERCISE A DAY OR ELSE YOU WILL START TO GAIN THE WEIGHT BACK. (view less)

I have been struggling with my weight for a while but I am finally on the right page.
I stoped eating junk food, reduced my calorie intake & exersiced an hour or more a day.My body went into a super weight loss mode or something like that.Once in a while I would lose my motivation because I was doing it alone, but blubberbuster helped me gain my motivation back every time. I felt super happy when the scale hit 55kgs.The key to my success was to learn, work hard, never give up & a little help from blubberbuster.
You can do it to!. (Note: 166 cm, 55 kg is 5'5", 121 lb.)

Well, just like so many of you people out there, I was once struggling with weight loss; I still am. I remember going to the doctor and them telling me that I seriously needed to lose weight or I would obtain diabetes. My mom had been telling me that for weeks, but she was bigger than me. But when the doctor's told me that, it was a wake up call. True, I did lose a lot of weight, but I am still finding it very hard to lose that last bit. I was 132, but I am gaining weight and it is scaring me. I feel as if I am scaring myself because I might starve myself. I know what I need to do to lose weight, it's just hard.

Anyways, I just wanted to tell you girls or guys out there that there is no easy way to lose weight. Okay? It takes heart and dedication and if you really want to lose weight, you would stick to this no matter what. So, this may work for you,well at least it worked for me, try a lemon cleansing diet. Take the juice of a lemon, maple syrup, and cayenne pepper and mix with some water. Now you have to drink this all day for at least 2-3 days. Now being that I was 14, I did have a tiny bite of food throughout these days. If that seems to much for you, try incorporating healthier foods into your diet. I would eat some whole grain toast with scrambled egg for breakfast, some tuna fish (no mayo) for lunch with some spinach and whole grain crackers, and salmon for dinner. For my two snacks, I ate a banana and an apple. Also, try learning portion sizes. Now, in this world, I know most of us won't care and just eat the whole bag, so instead, read the label to see how much a serving is, then eat the serving and put the test away. What I did was ate the serving and hid the bag of food. My motto is, "If I dont see it, I won't eat it." It worked. I had a box of cheezits in my shelf for a month untouched. Also, try to make water your primary drink. Yes, at first it was hard for me to do that considering there was always juice at home, but today, all I drink is water. It starts to become a habit, a part of your lifestyle. Now I would sit here and type all day and tell you how I lost the weight, but I know some people won't read all of this so if you have any questions. Email me. (view less)

My parents did what they could to help my diet, but with my dad already being obese since he was a teen and my mom going through illness, i was not restricted in what i could eat. It all started to change for me at the end of 5th grade, I had just gotten glasses, which had i had earlier I might have been better at sports and this not had happened. I looked at my body, I was not disgusted, but interested in my fat, it led me to searches of more fat kids and people, I got hooked. I saw how they could get away with eating whatever they wanted and not have to do PE at all, a fat kids dream. This honestly let me gain another 10-15 pounds from just over eating wanting to be like these kids. A little backstory, my elementary school was really small compared to the middle school i would be attending the next year it was also in a wealthier neighborhood so the kids there were all thin, or just a little bit of baby fat, which most of my friends had. Having these chubby friends helped my survive. So when i went to middle school, i was exposed to some many kids, including those who were very obese. In PE we had to change now, i saw how tormented the really fat kids were, sadly for them non of them were very tall so it really showed on them. I knew from then on that i no longer wanted to live the life of a fat kid. I joined water polo the next week and stuck with it, it became something i turned to love. I controlled my diet boosted my activity and the fat just started to come off. Now i am the tall thin guy, not the tubby kid. (view less)

Start: Ht. 5'2", 194 lb ( BMI %tile: 98) Today: Ht. 5'2", 186 lb (BMI %tile: 98) - I've always had a larger frame. I guess you could call it an apple shape. Even though I thought I was around 80 pounds over weight, I was really just 40. The reason why is because I have a large frame. (you can measure this by measuring the circumference of youre wrist) Nobody really teased me, but this summer, most of my friends got asked out. I just needed the self confidence boost. I wore a size 14-16 pant size, and XL to XXXL, but now Im wearing a size 12 and M-XL sized shirt. Ive only lost 8 pounds but you can see the diifrence. I can see muscles I have a longer duration in working out(I use workout videos like T25, pilates,blubberbuster,and yoga) I stopped geeting junky desserts. I ate a frozen yougurt cup instead. I do targeted workouts in bed, like scissor kicks and db bentover rows. I bike. And I drink 4-6 bottles of water a day(especially befor bed, it makes you apperear slimmer in the morning) and I read a lot of fitness artiles like shape magazine, livestrong, and womens fitness. I hope to lose 30-40 more pounds of fat.
