lose 110 pounds

i am 16 and am on the winterguard at my school and i am the biggest one. during bandcamp this year i want to be able to wear a bathing suit like everyone else.

I am only 24 years old. I have been overweight since I was 13. 11 years is absolutely enough. I am the mother of two kids and I barely have enough energy to play with them. I have a beautiful figure 8 shape but it is hidden under all the fat. I want to be thin while I’m still in my twenties.

hi all please help im 27 230 pounds 5 5 i have never been this heavy before i quit smoking and i feel alot healthier also have pcos so that does not help at all i just started taking my medication again my doctor said i have to loose weight so please help

I need to lose weight not only for my health, but i wanna be healthy when my wife and I start having kids. How is the fastest way to do this?

I have 3 children and a hugh 200+ lb body to show for it. I have to lose this weight. I’ve already lost about 10lbs.

I started on the stationary bike for 15 minutes, and have gone up to 20 minutes a day as of yesterday (doing 5-6 days a week is my plan for now and getting up to 45 min to 1 hour of exercise per day at least 6 days a week is a goal). I am eating from 12-1400 calories per day, reasonably low fat/lower carb (not crazy re either, very balanced I think). I lost four pounds in eight days, and I know that will-and should slow down and now the water/bloat is coming off more than the fat. I am very confident and I think motivated. We get pizza at work, I have one piece, not three or four. A friend offers me ice cream, I have a tablespoon full, not a vat.. I am writing down everything I eat, and how much I exercise each day. I am doing this not only to keep me honest with myself, but also to have a record of what I did/how I did it.

I think what has changed this time is that I am just so very,very tired of being fat. I am more tired of being fat than I ever imaigined I could be. I was overweight (around 165) but not obese for a long while, and the obese is just plain gross for me. It is easier to eat less and exercise than it is to be fat.

i too need to lose 110 pounds. I started at 253.5, My weight yesterday was 238.5, so I am down 15 pounds. I am doing this by myself this time. I have attended weight watchers 3 different times, now I just don’t have the money for it. The first time I weighed 190, I lost 55 pounds on the WW plan. A few months after accomplishing my goal I got pregnant with my son and my weight sky rocketed up to 247. A few months after I gave birth I joined WW again, That time I got down to 206 before I gave up. And the third time I went back I weighed 221 and gave up again at 180. Years have since passed. I get discouraged easy, I have no one who really understands.

I have been putting this off for a long while, but I seriously need to lose weight. I am 5’6 and 230 pounds. I quit smoking a long while back and put on maybe 65 pounds and have not managed to get it off yet.

I understand nutrition, diet, weight control, the trouble has been getting and staying motivated. Now, however I am 42, it looks like my blood sugar is going up and I am just plain tired of being fat.

I could go on with my weight history, but will save that for another time. In short, until 2000 I had worn more than a size 14 and has as an adult weighed as little as 117 pounds and stayed there for some years.

No, I have started on the path to losing weight. I starting by exercising on the stationary bike for just 15 minutes at a time (I have gotten so sedentary!) and keeping calories to 1400 a day. I know I can do this and I am motivated for my health as well as my appearance. Yesterday I was reading about people older than me who have done it, and I know I can too. I have had friends who got up to 300 pounds and had bypass surgery-rolls of hanging flesh and never able to eat more than a spoonful at a time. That is not even to mention the potential complications-I know a woman who has been pretty disabled from the surgery for months (I pray for her she at least gets thin out of it!!). None of that is where I want to be-but I know it can be a short trio from 230 to 330 so it is way better to lose this weight now.

I think I have a pretty positive attitude so far, I am not just doing this to make someone else happy or to look good-but for myself and my well being.

I am looking forward to this adventure.

Okay another HUGE goal. Again this one can have a ton of components that would help me achieve it.

I’m 17, 5’ 4”, 253 lbs. and have been trying to lose weight off and on since I was 12. I’ve done weight watchers, which worked really really well until I plateaued at 208 lbs and eventually gave up. I’m going to join up again in March, when I can do the online program. For some reason they think no one under the age of 18 could possibly be successful that way or something. I’ve tried dieting and exercising on my own and have been successful, but I always seem to gain it back and I don’t honestly know when I last weighed under 200 lbs. When I was 13 – 16 I was anorexic… sporadically. I was the worst at 13 and 14, though I revisited the idea for awhile when I was 15 and 16. I lost so much weight that way, I don’t know what my lowest was, but I know I was 14 and all of my clothes were literally falling off of me. I couldn’t see that I had lost the weight I had lost, and was severely depressed. When I pulled myself out of the worst of that, I stopped starving myself, but I had messed up my metabolism so much that I gained a lot of the weight I’d lost back,fast. Not all of it, but most. I shouldn’t say I pulled myself out of it because I had help from several people that don’t even know how much they helped me. My highest weight that I know of was 260, I swore I would never, ever hit that again, and very recently came within four lbs. of it. After I found that out I started actually going to the gym instead of talking about my plan to get there 3 days a week that hadn’t been put into action in the two months I’d been talking about it. I lost 3 lbs. that way and was on a role when I sprained my ankle. I haven’t been able to walk since the 6th and I’ve had a splint on my right leg since the 11th. Hopefully I can walk again sometime in the next week and 1/2. It really put a damper on my plans for Winter break though. Instead of spending it working, going to the gym and of course enjoying the holidays, I get to sit at home, hobble around on crutches, hey at least I still have the holidays! This is the last time I do this. I’m loosing the weight once and for all, no excuses, nothing. I plan to be my goal weight by no later than my 20th birthday. That gives me 2 years and 2 1/2 months, which is more than enough time. I know I can do it if I apply myself and make it happen. It really is mind over matter. I have finally drilled it into my own head that cutting out meals isn’t the answer, the healthy way is three meals and three snacks, cutting portions is the way to go. Once my ankle has healed I’m getting right back to the gym, that’ll be crucial, I’ll pick up the at home exercises I was doing again, and will continue to maintain a healthy diet. I’ll try to update here but will mainly post to the lose 100 lbs. forum. Most importantly, there are a lot of us trying to lose 100 lbs or more, and we have to be in it together. Drawing support from each other is very important, it helps us realize we aren’t alone. I think part of the reason I had such a hard time before was I didn’t have any real support group. I had people that would congratulate me, but no one to truly confide in. I found this site and now have literally over 1,000 people trying to achieve the same goal, going through some of the same trials, and beating some of the same obstacles. Good luck everyone!
