Start: Ht. 5'1", 150 lb ( BMI %tile: 97) Today: Ht. 5'1", 130 lb (BMI %tile: 88) - When I had moved into my house at the age of 12 I weighed 150 pounds. I was going through a rough time and both my mom and I were eating because we were stressed. I kept telling myself I was going to lose the weight, but by the time i turned 13 I only weighed 147 pounds. That summer my mother told me she was going to lose more than 100 pounds in 6 months, but I told her I didn't think she would. Then a couple weeks later my mother went to the doctor and he told her she wouldn't be able to take care of my brother and I if she didn't lose the weight. My mother weighed 230 pounds and she didn't like hearing from her daughter that I didn't even think she could lose the weight and my mother wanted to be their for my brother and I.

My mother weighed 230 pounds and she didn't like hearing from her daughter that I didn't even think she could lose the weight and my mother wanted to be their for my brother and I. The first month my mom went on on a full liquid diet because she had gotten surgery done on her stomach. After that first month she had lost more than 10 pounds and than that's where she found the secret it was the foods high in carbs making her gain weight. My mother swore off all breads, pasta,rice, or anything fried. She ate lots of protein. Now many people think it's bad to eat to much protein, well it is. That's why my mom drank lot's water to get rid of any thing that would ruin her organs. After 6 months my mom lost the weight. She now weighs 120 pounds and has been maintaining the weight for awhile. She still hasn't eaten any bread, pasta, or rice, but she eats carb controlled tortillas and every night treats herself with 2 squares of chocolate. Oh yes if your cheese lover than you'll be happy to hear she ate lot's of cheese while trying to loose the weight. Now if your reading this your probably wondering why she doesn't eat breads, rice, and pasta well that's because they act like a poison to your body. You may not believe this, but I did the exact same thing my mother did for a week and lost 3 pounds, but then i decided to eat a sandwich. That night I got very sick because the bread acted like a poison and my body was rejecting it. So if your looking for a success story look at my mother; even though people didn't believe she would loose the weight she did and she is more confident,healthier, and happier than I've seen her in awhile. All you need to do is to think about what you will get in the end. I hope this story helps anyone trying to lose weight know there not alone. One more thing my mom lost all this weight just by sitting at a desk at work and once she lost more than half the weight she then began to work out but barely. Just stay away from anything high carb amounts and DRINK lots of water and eat Tons of Protein. If your a vegetarian cottage cheese, Greek yogurt, and beans have lots of protein. I wish you well on yout journey to success. (view less)

Start: Ht. 5'3", 163 lb ( BMI %tile: 98) Today: Ht. 5'4", 135 lb (BMI %tile: 82) - I'd always been the kid that weighed a little more than the other kids but I really started packing on the pounds 4th through 8th grade and I hated being the slow one in PE and not being as athletic as the other girls. I had great friends but they loved to shop and I always went with them but I never really bought or tried anything on because I would have to go to the plus size section and it was embarrassing being the " fat friend" .
I'd told myself many times before " Im going to lse weight, no more sweets" but that never lasted more than a day. But one day something clicked that I need to change my life style and lose weight or I will continue on this path and become obese. So I ate less and walked more and the wright came off, I hope to reach my goal of 125 pounds soon. If you believe in yourself (an have a lot if willpower) you can do it.

Start: Ht. 4'8", 100 lb ( BMI %tile: 93) Today: Ht. 5'2", 95 lb (BMI %tile: 44) - it was quite simple,i knew when to stop!
count to ten as slow as possible in your head before u start snacking,
it takes ur brain about ten seconds to realize ur not actualy hungry.
and most importantly talk your parents about the quantitie of food eat,
and pass on a second helping.
another thing is to remember that u usauly eat because of stress,so relax and remove hand from chip bag.

Start: Ht. 5'4", 176 lb ( BMI %tile: 97) Today: Ht. 5'4", 163 lb (BMI %tile: 94) - Ok, My birthday is December 23. At the end of the year (of 2011) I went to my doctor, just as an anual visit. I was in basketball at the time. I have been in basketball since 4th grade and volleyball since 8th grade (I'm was in 9th grade, but the year just got over so I will be a 10th grader in August). I have always been 'on the verge of being over weight' but I am also very muscular. So not all of my weight and 'bulkiness' is fat. I have always tried to think of my self as beautiful, and to be confident with my body. I dress myself in proper clothes, and I was fine with it all...but... I started getting tired of having to try all the time. I hate that I had to try really hard with my clothes and makeup and hair, all to feel confident. So in the end of Frebruary I decided to get down to 150 (me being 176 at the time) by April 17th. That was when my class was... (view more)Ok, My birthday is December 23.

So in the end of Frebruary I decided to get down to 150 (me being 176 at the time) by April 17th. That was when my class was leaving for a trip to Disney World. I started eating A LOT less. No more snacking!!! No more eating when you're bored!! At first, I was hungry. But really, I got used to it. I continued my method of eating until about March 25th. I was about 161lbs. On March 25th, my brother had a birthday party. I ate cake and pizza..and didn't stop. I went to Disney, and went through a lot in April. Then, now in May, I finished up school. I weighed myself 4 days ago and weighed 166lbs. I was happy that I didn't get back to 170, but I knew I could get better. Now, in just a few days I weigh 163. I plan to continue loseing weight, and then go shopping for new clothes for my sophmore year. I will see 150. I know it. I know what it takes for me to lose weight and I know that to do to maintain my weight. Please, know that if you want to lose weight YOU CAN DO IT. And it starts with what you are doing right now. Before I lost any weight, I read these stories to motivate me. And it works. Please, make the change! (view less)

Start: Ht. 4'9", 120 lb ( BMI %tile: 96) Today: Ht. 5'1", 103 lb (BMI %tile: 64) - I did it! I finally did it. Cutting out carbs, sugar, and not eating dessert everyday, I was able to lower my portion sizes and lower my pants sizes, too ;) I worked out endlessly, and I now have rock hard abs-perfect for bikini season! I did this without the help of my family-I wanted to commit to something and do it. My stomachs more defined, as are my legs. When I was overweight, I hated looking at photos of me in the past-when I use to be skinny. Now, I love looking at them! My tip to you-save your cravings for one day of the week. If you still are craving the food, eat it. You probably won't be. Cravings come and go like *snaps fingers* that! Oh, yes, and I found a way to lose even more weight-pick up a hobby, be it music, writing, ANYTHING. Devote an hour a day to it, and trust me, when you're not spending that hour eating, you'll lose weight even faster! I want to thank blubber busters for their fantastic tips :)

Start: Ht. 5'3", 127 lb ( BMI %tile: 90) Today: Ht. 5'5", 110 lb (BMI %tile: 48) - I was able to loose the weight out of pure detication to soccer. I play classic level soccer now but before I had been cut from 4 challange teams (a level lower than classic) because I wasn't as fast as other girls. I started loosing the weight (about 3 pounds) and tried out for another challange team. I made this team but my coach said I wasn't fast enough to be a starter. ( had started loosing weight officialy that very day. (September 30th) I lost 7 pounds in 2 weeks and became a starter! THis motivated me to loose the rest of the weight. By October 24th I had became my current weight. I became a very good soccer player and this gave me the ability to be a star player on a classic team and the best striker on my middle school team. I had lost 17 pounds in 24 Days! but I didnt just loose weight. I put on 5 pounds of muscle too! (this means that if I didn't gain the muscle I would aprox. 105 pounds).
