Well, I haven't been doing this for very long, but I think I'm doing very well. I have lost 8 pounds in 19 days, which is when I started. Is that going to fast? Well, anyway, I did it by cutting back a lot on what I ate and exercised for 30 mins. a day 5 days a week. Oh yeah, and there's another thing that has kept me going all along...my good friend Chelsea. She has been so supportive, and she's really helped to keep me motivated to lose weight. I believe that if it wasn't for her, I wouldn't have lost as much weight as I have. Chels, if you read this, I want you to know how much you have inspired me to reach my goals. You have truly been a saint, and I hope we stay friends for a long time!!! I loves ya! Well, that's my story so far. It's not much, but it's a start.

Well Ive never really been over weight or anything, I am just very muscular. I weighted 140 lbs. Not much huh? But I am 5'3'', so it deffinitly wouldn't of hurt to loose a few pounds. So I found this site and made my goal 120. That would be perfect. It was so hard to loose the weight though. I would get so many chocolate temptations, but after a while I didnt. The pounds were drifting off very sslloowwllyy. I'm saying 2 pounds a month. It made me mad but I finally got to my goal of 120! So basically I counted my calories and ate around 1500 while playing soccer, running track, and going to the gym. When ever I got a craving for something I'd say to myself, "It will taste good for a few seconds, then once its done it won't." And that actuilly worked and helped me put down a lot of food! So if your looking to loose a of weight in a little amount of time, it wont work. Good luck yall cuz America's a bunch of fast food eating fatso's.

well- i'm down to 147 from 173. this is the lowest i've been. i've done this by eat a lot of veggies and less calories about 1200-1400 it averages out and i exersize regualrly by taking walks with my boyfriend, tennis practice, and when i have time- some awesome workouts w/ taebo. i still have about 17 pounds to lose but my shorter goal is to be 140 in a few weeks and then i want to be 125-130 for my final weight. i'm going to keep eatingnhealthy and exersizing even after i lose all of the weight i want to just because my body feels so much better when i take care of it properly and so i don't gain it back...

hey, I used to live in new york, there i had allot of stress and allot of food not neccessarly healthy food, I used to jog 1 hr everyday with my dog and i only went from 220 to 200 and there i stayed until i came here to GA to live with my brother since then i went from 200 to now 165 and all my clothes fit, i still got some more weight to loose but that's going to come in the form of muscle. there's only so much weight u can loose until you reach a stand still. but remember never over-eat and stress is a major factor it promotes the hormone that gains weight, well this is my success story for now. i also plan to join track at my school im as fast as those guys so anyone looking to loose anyweight choose a goal and try as hard as you can to reach it!!! GOOD LUCK

Hey! I have gone from 190 to 135 in nine months and I feel great. I started the summer walking everyday and eating less. Of course because it was the summer i was also swimming everyday and on bike. i rode all around town! Then once school started I tryed to keep walking, but it was hard! so, I tryed to eat healthy and would work-out in my room in the nighttime. Stupidly enough I started to become bulimic. I would trow-up after I ate anything! Even one little cookie. After a while my stomach and throt hurt. It was bad! After a few months of that I realized I had to stop it. I talked to my friends about it and he helped me realize it was going to hurt me and that I was beautiful anyways. And my other friend told me that if I didn't stop she was going to tell my mom what I was doing!!! I did not want my mom to know! So I stopped throwing-up and eating healthy again, but at first it was... (view more)Hey! I have gone from 190 to 135 in nine months and I feel great.

So I stopped throwing-up and eating healthy again, but at first it was hard! After about a month I could eat again. Now, I am eating healthy and working-out two times a day. I still eat a cookie ever now and then and have a few chips on the week-end, but i eat healthy. I do some crunchs, leg lifts, and push-ups two times a day, and in the night I do some arms exercises. I also walk to school and to all my practices at church. If I can't exercise one night its not that big of a deal. I don't exercise in the night on Thrusday and Friday, or Saturday morning.But other then that I exercise both in the morning and the night. This week I am going to strat to try and drink at least 6 glasses of water a day. It clens out your body and keeps you feeling in top shape. But, if you are going to follow anything I did, please do not be bulimic. I have been bulimic, anerxic, and a complusive exerciser before I have lost any weight. I would lose little bits of weight and gain it back, so please don't do it! It is so stupid. I want you guys to learn from this and to be smart. So, have fun, be haelthy, and don't do anything stupid. Hope I've helped! God Bless!!!!!! (view less)

I reached my weight goal a couple weeks ago. I started in September at 155lbs, and my goal weigh was 130lbs. Im happy to say I've reached my goal and im now 125lbs. I never thought I'd be able to do it. But im always watching what i eat, and excercising regularly, and getting out as much as possible. I take gym courses throughout highschool, joined the soccer team, and I run track and Im on my way to join a health club. My new goal weight is 120lbs-115lbs, around there and Im building up muscles and getting toned for the summer time.I wish everyone good luck. Remember, when your trying to loose weight just keep thinking how much happier u'd be! Thats my motivation.

Hi, when I was in 9th grade I thought that I was overwieght. I was homeschooled at the time and on a program where I could do my homework on my own while my parents were at work. So while doing my homework I would eat ice cream and juck food while I was studying. I was really embarrassed about the way my face looked and arms. I always wore long-sleeve shirts and didn't like when people took pictures of me from the side, I also got really fed-up with having to always suck my stomach in so it wouldn't look bad. Then in 10th grade I went to a public school and for some weird reason I lost 17 lbs. in 1 1/2 months. I don't really know if this is consitered a success story being I really don't know how I lost that much weight, besides not eating during class, but all I know is that it feels good and now being 17 years old, my weight is 125lbs. And that's my story! If you want, email me at Sarah_Marie182@hotmail.com
