I had enough, i started my own diet, every morning at 5am i would go for a jog around the village, i started to eat smaller portions and soon the weight just started to drop off me, my family were a massive support, they helped me along every step of the way. Now life is great, i have a boyfriend, amazing friends and i'm much more confident around everyone, i hope everyone else can acieve their destination. (Note: 7 st 6 is 104 lb.)

Start: Ht. 5'5", 184 lb ( BMI %tile: 98) Today: Ht. 5'5", 156 lb (BMI %tile: 85) - I've had difficulties with my weight since I was 7 years old and went from being very chubby to just pretty chubby throughout my childhood. I never looked horribly obese once I hit seventh grade but always had a round face and belly fat that I hated. Just before my thirteenth birthday I weighed myself, disgusted to realize I was 184 lbs. Pretty soon I'd be 200, if I kept gaining each year! I was ashamed and tired of being the third fattest girl in class, so I bought the book "The Diet for Teenagers Only." I didn't follow the tracking religiously but the information was so powerful and changed my way of life and taught me how to shop and eat smartly. I used Weight Watchers to track Points for a while, and while that worked great I don't have the money right now to continue the program, being in college; so, I've just been trying to aim for healthy food...

I used Weight Watchers to track Points for a while, and while that worked great I don't have the money right now to continue the program, being in college; so, I've just been trying to aim for healthy food groups and just track what I eat in a little log. Just from changing my eating habits and starting yoga and Pilates (not even a full gymn workout) I lost about 20 lbs over several years, with many setbacks and weight re-gained. Since college I've been indulging only moderately on weekends and walking around campus and just trying to eat healthily so I've lost a little more. It took 5 years to lose almost 30 lbs so I did it slowly and now I want to lose 10 more pounds and then just tone up. I don't mind being curvy and my doctor said I should be between 140-150 lbs but I wanna shape up my thighs (which I've always hated most) and trim a few inches off my gut. It's taken me a long time but I DID and YOU CAN TOO! Believe me ladies, I've had my share of family troubles ans all sorts of crud and you can make it through and transform yourself gradually, physically and mentally. You can become stronger. <3 (view less)

Start: Ht. 5'5", 147 lb ( BMI %tile: 90) Today: Ht. 5'6", 122 lb (BMI %tile: 50) - During the summer before 8th grade, I hated going to the beach or being in a swimsuit when i was surrounded by girls who were much skinnier than me. Ever since I was young, I was somewhat chubby due to poor eating habits. When I entered 8th grade, I decided to pursue my lvoe for swimming by joining a swim team. I didnt change my eating habits at all, but i eneded up dropping to 125. I was happy and out of my previous depression. When i entered high shcool, i joined the cross country team and now i am doing track. I tried eating healthy but this didnt really happen and i ended upo dropping to 119. I have recently decided that it was a nessecity for me to eat healthy so now i am working my way to get a more fit body. I have never been happier than i am now.

Start: Ht. 172.5 cm, 89 kg ( BMI %tile: 96) Today: Ht. 172.5 cm, 74.5 kg (BMI %tile: 85) - For the last three months I have only been eating breakfast and dinner, and its working! Before trying this, I had a gym membership and was going about four or five times a week. I was getting quite fit, but not losing weight. Then I read about the 80/20 rule, you know, about 20% of losing weight being about exercise and 80% being about what you eat, so I gave up on the exercising alltogether. It felt kind of strange, as if I wasn't doing enough to lose weight. It was school holidays and I spent my time sitting around, which made me feel a little guilty, because I thought I should have been going to the gym. But after a week of eating two meals a day and being lazy, I jumped on the scale and I had lost one and a half kilos! (or 3 pounds!). I was really happy with this result and have been doing the same thing for the past couple of months. So far I have lost 14.5 kilos (31 pounds)...

havent been on in a while, but i have since lost 7 more pounds. i am pretty darned happy with myself. :) i truly have come a long way. i remember when i decided to do something about my massive weight. i was nearly 200 pounds and that fact alone made me feel absolutley crumby. I even remember the date. It was December 9th, 2010. Now, nearly an entire year later, i am an entirely different person. I weigh 55 pounds lighter. I feel so much better physically and mentally. I also look healthier. Now, the doctor has informed me that I have made an incredible and drastic improvement. I am very proud. I still have a bit more weight to lose though, the journey isn't yet over. After I reach my current goal (to weigh 130), i think i want to set an additional goal to lose 10 more pounds and weigh 120. I think that is a healthy weight for myself. I am impressed with everyones... (view more)hey guys (:

Start: Ht. 5'8", 225 lb ( BMI: 34) Today: Ht. 5'8", 165.6 lb (BMI: 25) - SWEET! So, now that I know I lost water weight, I'm down to 165.6 and steadily losing 0.2 pounds per day, so weekly i'll be losing 1.4 lbs. Definitely not an incredible loss but I know from experience that when I lose weight too fast, I gain it back and then some. This way, it will be steady consistent PERMANENT weight loss. I'm also starting a full time job at the hospital starting on Monday (just graduated college yaay!) So from 7am-3pm I will be busy and will be packing healthy low calorie lunches. It's just going to be hard not to snack at night which I am very used to. So at this rate, I'll be 160lbs by Christmas (mini goal) and then close to 155 by my 23rd birthday in January. I'm very positive right now that I can do this! Hope everyones doing great, good luck!
