hi evryonee.. well when i was in year 6 (age 11-12) i was 159cm (5 ft. 3 in) and weighed 68,4kg (150.5 lb.).
i was overweight and not happy at all..
i was calle faty and evrything..
then soon i thought smart.. i cut out on junkfoods and ate much less and was aware of calories in foods and worked out 40mins everyday on the spin bike.
then one day i hit 60kg (132 lb.). i was so happy i started to cry. i had a break from diet and my weight crept up to 63kg (139 lb.)... this was in the begginning of year 7.
i felt fat and horrible. i had flabs and felt fat. then i decidedto get down to 55kg (121 lb.) which i didn't acheive until the beginning of 2009. i had many breaks along the way :L
losing weight.. how did i do it?
sounds simple.. but it isnt.
i ate very little and cut our on sugar and salts
and exericse up to 40mins a day...
i worked out simply at home. without any equipment or dvd'd..
just trained myself and lost weight. now i weigh 52kg (114.4 lb.) and stand at 163cm (5'5").

I've had a complete epiphany. I feel healthier than I've ever been before! I can't remember ever weighing less than 150 lb since middle school.....I feel renewed, yet still have a long way to go. My biggest weight was 172 two years ago and since then, I've given up the fast-food, fried food, and junk for good. I've become somewhat vegan and trust me, try not to eat beef and substitute it for chicken or even better, fish....you'll be surprised at how much you lose. I've also cut the dairy products (Yes, no more lovable cheese! And instead of regular milk I drink soy or rice milk) and added more fresh fruits and veggies to my meals. I feel more inspired than ever and will continue to lose the pounds so I can fufill my true aspirations of being a musician. I hope others can bring more positivity into their lives, and not be afraid to give up the junk food and try new healthier options that ... (view more)I've had a complete epiphany.

I hope others can bring more positivity into their lives, and not be afraid to give up the junk food and try new healthier options that aren't awful. I used to be way too negative and hated myself badly for being "Fat" and "Ugly". I constantly hurt myself with false thinking.....and blamed myself for not being more "thin" and "attractive". It was complete bullcrap.
Ladies, don't do this to yourself!! Love yourself!!! It doesn't matter whether you're small, medium, or large boned. Don't give in & don't give up!! :)
Always, always, love yourself......remember who you are and never use hate as an excuse.
Much much love~~~ (view less)

I used to eat junk food all the time, I would get my dad to buy me a pack of donuts and I would eat them all in one night. This was when I was about 8. I didn't do any sport and began gaining weight. However, when you reach puberty all you think about is losing weight and having a barbie body. I have trained myself to adapt to the world, in other word, ignore all those people saying you have to have a certain inch waste and be a certain size. So now, I only have junk food once a week. Eat wholemeal food, like brown spaghetti, non-dairy butter and orange squash. Those little things make a big difference to your eating style which makes a big difference to your body. You have to understand that everyone is different and ignore all the nasty comments. Just think about the future and ignore the past. :)
I am still trying to lose around 10 pounds, then I will be average weight. I am going to keep on excersing and eating those healthy foods.

Hey everybody I lost 8 pounds so far! I started at 198. I have a fast metabolism so gaining weight isn't easy for me when I'm going to school and being more active but I gain at least 5-8 pounds during the summer when I visit California and don't do anything. When I was on the verge of 200 I started getting sick of my fat. I'm pretty tall so I don't look really really fat but still overweight. Anyways I've tried crash diets which I constantly failed because I got so hungry and then I would give. Then I went on blubberbusters and started reading these stories and they really inspired me. So far all I've done the first week is eat as healthy as I can by drinking lots of water and cutting portions I checked the weight scale and it read 190! I couldn't believe it but I did notice the changes a smaller face, no more lovehandles, and my legs are a little smaller. I can't wait to continue! Goodluck to everyone! I'll post when I loose more weight.

Dear anyone that struggles with their weight,
My name is Elle and just one year ago i decied to stop being in denial about my weight and change my life for the better. It was hard but looking back on all the hard times it was the best decision i have ever made and most likely will ever make in my life.
I never knew how big i was until i lost it all, the biggest shock came when my friend told me i used to be morbidley obese. The biggest girl in the entire school. I was so hurt, i knew i was big, but i had no idea. I don't know what made me finally decide to lose weight. I think it was a variety of things, there was no final click. I got sick of being looked at in disgust and not being able to fit into any fashionable clothes. I remember seeing myself in the mirror and not recognising myself. I had stretchmarks everywhere and a double chin. My thighs were so big that when i... (view more)Dear anyone that struggles with their weight,

I got sick of being looked at in disgust and not being able to fit into any fashionable clothes. I remember seeing myself in the mirror and not recognising myself. I had stretchmarks everywhere and a double chin. My thighs were so big that when i didn't wear bikeshorts underneath my clothing they would rub together so much they would bleed. I am ashamed of how big i let myself become. I was old enough then to make my own decisions and i couldn't blame my parents anymore.
I am fourteen now. I weigh fifty seven kilos (125 lb.) and am 166cm (5'6") tall. I lost about 35kg (77 lb.) maybe more in just one year. I thought i would be fat for the rest of my life, i wanted to die. I proved to myself that anything is possible.
I used to eat not only a lot of junk food but also large portions and just binge even when i wasn't hungry. Food was like a drug for me. Combine that with little education for whats good for you and little or no exercise and you have me.
One defining moment of my weightloss jorney was seeing this book called the diet for teenags only by Carrie wiatt and barbara schroeder. IT CHANGED MY LIFE.
i started running and walking and exercising and eating well. it was hard at first. and i didn't do it all at once, i eased into it. i never denied myself i just tried harder and it made all the difference in the world. I joined a gym that had a swimming pool and went swimming three times a week.
A few weeks later the weight just started dropping off.
I love my life now, my confidence is sky high and i now recognise myself in the mirror. The point of my story is to tell you, IT IS POSSIBLE, IF YOU SET YOUR MIND TO IT YOU CAN DO IT! DO NOT GIVE UP!
buy a diet book, eat less junkfood, smaller portions, start a sport, get a friend to help you.
i'm rooting for you babes,

Ht. 5'3", Start: 145 lb, Current: 124 lb, Goal: 115 lb - I havent posted on here in a few months and I'm not overweight anymore. I just wanna say that some of your encouraging words from a while ago really helped me. I've been so proud of myself because I've made goals to lose weight for years but I never actually thought I could do it. But this summer I did. Thank you and I just wanted to say that.
