To lose weight you have to use more calories that you eat. That means eat less, move more. Things you can do to help that is eat a healthy breakfast to start your day. Eat lowfat/fatfree dairy (yogurt,milk,cheese) Brush your teeth righ after dinner so you will pass on desert. Chew gum when your not hungry but want to eat. DRINK LOTS OF WATER!! Get up and move when ever you can. Shopping, cleaing, yardwork, running, the gym, hula hooping, swimming, b-ball, soccer, weights, walking the dog, anything that gets you moving is great!! You can do it!! I was once 5'1 and 150 lbs and nOw I'm 5'3 and 128 so it's 100% doable!!

Well im now down to 105 with about an other 10 more pounds to go. I lost about 20-25 pounds just by drinking water nd eating lots of furits. If u get hungry just drink a bottle of water it will fill u up nd also try walking about 1 mile everyday or just jog for 15-30 minutes in ur neighborhood.

Hey i guess it was about a week before my friends brithday party when i first stepped on the scale and saw the shocking number of 174lb. at the height of 5 feet i wore a size 15 or 17 in pants and a bmi of 32.7 . I knew i had 2 do something, my dad was overweight as a kid and later got diabetes, then lost some weight. Even though he changed his life around then he still died early at the age of 46.
So i lost 7lbs. the first week but then i gained 5lbs. after my friend's party. a couple of weeks later i noticed that i had lost a pound without trying and decided that i could do it. so far i've found that the hardest part of losing weight is holidays and vacations. so far i've lost around 30 lb. and my bmi is now 27.2. my goal is to be around 115lbs. by my birthday which is at the end of january!! good luck 2 everyone..

I haven't always been overweight, and as a matter of fact when I was little I loved to exercise, and I hated chocolate, as well as anything that was too sugary. My mother, who has always been on the heavy side, took maticulous care to keep me away from any and all junk food in the house and just natrually I loved to be hyper, play outside and just be a normal and plucky kid. The minute I hit school I began to gain belly weight, due to the overly processed, over-fattened, disgusting school food and candy that would be handed out by teachers. Luckily I was still very active when I was little, and I was just plain happy despite the couple extra pounds I carried. Everything changed when I was 8 years old and moved clear across America. Without any friends, and both my parents always at work I fell into a depression and used sugary foods, soda, and the television to comfort myself. Little...

When I was in 7th grade, I weighed 136. All my friends were like, I dont know, 100? I thought I was gonna get some disease like diabetes and die. Beacause of that, I started 2 diet, doing 3 hours of exercise everyday and consuming only 1500 calories at the most. In 3 months, i lost 30 pounds. This is a miracle. I dont feel ugly anymore.

All of my life I've never really noticed my weight until.... One weekend my bestfriend Martha(who wears a 0) and I went to a theme park, and I wanted to get on a ride and martha joined me. When I got on the ride the lady told me I couldn't ride because I was too heavy, she said that the bars & seatbealts wouldn't fit me!I jumped of the ride in humiliation and cried.What makes the story worse was their were two really cute boys behind us who were making jokes and laughing while I ran away. My friend Martha saw how hurt I was and jumped of the ride and ran after me. I cried for about 5 min. so martha asked me did I want to go home. I said yes! On the way home Martha saw how hurt I was and aked could she stay over I say sure(I was hoping she asked) she called her mom and told her she was staying the weekend.Martha then told me to get on the scale..It read 315lbs.

I almost passed out! Then Martha took me to the computer and looked up websites on losing weight. We couldn't find any that worked for me so martha told me she had a friend who lost weight on a diet and she would call her and we could meet. Two weekends later I met a girl named Racheal who said she had lost nearly 80lbs in six months with a diet her little cousin gave her. Now its been three months later and I lost nearly 25 pounds I feel great. Oh yeah Rachael and I are good friends now and she told me about blubberbusters! What makes the story is that her little cousin is Charlie who is a blubberbuster! (view less)

I have reached my goal, and I am so proud of myself. It really was hard for me to resiste foods, my older sister who is 28 helped me the whole way. I came to live with her in December and I was 130lbs and only 4'11" I was a big ol 9 year old. My sister didn't want to see my feelings hurt anymore in school so we went over what I had been eatting when I lived with my mother and what was not healthy. Did you know hot pockets and corn dogs are bad for you? THEN Y DO THEY MAKE EM? GRRRR I was eatting about 6 hot pockets a day or 4 corn dogs a day becuase my mom was never home that much to cook. Well, my sister cooks and she never makes the same meal twice, we eat lots of greens and desert is only once a week on Saturdays. My sister says its not a right that kids have to get desert its a prevlige. It is always something good too. When I lived with my mom we would eat alot of fast...

My sister says its not a right that kids have to get desert its a prevlige. It is always something good too. When I lived with my mom we would eat alot of fast foods. Now living with my sister we go out to a restruant once a month, thats my fast food. I like salids now and im still trying to find a way for her to make yams taste better, any ideas let me know. UCKY. I now weigh 103lbs and my goal is to maintain that weight for the rest of the summer till Aug 22nd, Then my doctor said today that for every inch I grow I should gain about 2 to 4 lbs, but not all at once. Before I was lazy and would watch tv all the time. Now I watch less than an hour of tv a day, I read much more, and I go outside and play alot. I drink more water than I used to and I can only have soda once in a while, and sugar drinks like kool-aid twice a week at dinner. Only once small glass full, if I drink all that up before I am done with dinner, I drink water. The other nights of the week I drink Cranberry Juice, Grape Juice, Milk or Apple Juice. I also run a mile in the morning sometimes and do 50 sit ups, I want my tummy to be tighter, If I dont run in the morning I try to run at night and do the sit ups. All depends I am very busy. I hope others can see how I have lost weight. My start date was 12-18-2005 @ 130lbs I hit my target weight on 6-16-2006 @ 103. I am happy, healthy and I love my new body and cool clothes. (view less)
