Hey! I've been reading most of your messages and the repies. For the most part they are good. I remember at the end of my 8th grade year I was 5'1" and I weighed 180 lbs. And I wondered why I had never had a boyfriend. I was tired of being worn out after doing simple exercises. And I was so embarrassed of myself I would purposefully avoid swimming pools or anything that had to do with a swim suit. We went to see a doctor about my weight cause we thought maybe I had a thyroid problem. But I didn't. I was just plain and simple FAT. It wasn't that I ate too much it was just I was so inactive. My friends would "tease" me, my grandma was always making comments about my weight in public and to her friends. It really hurt. I finally decided I had to do something. See I have a REAL problem with waiting for things. I want things to be immediate. But I had to learn that weight loss is a gradual... (view more)Hey!

My friends would "tease" me, my grandma was always making comments about my weight in public and to her friends. It really hurt. I finally decided I had to do something. See I have a REAL problem with waiting for things. I want things to be immediate. But I had to learn that weight loss is a gradual thing. So I just quit eating as much. I only ate one helping of food at meals even if I didn't feel full. I started snacking on healthy foods between meals so I wouldn't be as hungry at meals. By the end of my 9th grade year I was 5'2" and I weighed 150 lbs. I was on my way! I pretty much kept up the same routine through my 10th grade year and by the end of the year I was 5'2" and I weighed 140 lbs. And I had my first boyfriend Daniel! I felt like I was on top of the world! Like nothing could be better. But then me and Daniel broke up and started the weight gain again. I finally said NO! I'm not going back. That June a friend of mine introduced me to yoga. I thought yeah right. This is so corny. How is this ever going to help me. But I was so surprised. When I started school that August I was 5'3" and I weighed 130 lbs. I felt great and on the first day of school I got a new boyfriend Nick! And yes me and Nick broke up and I went through a tough relationship with another guy after him I have started the weight gain back. But me and Daniel worked through our problems and we're back in a very healthy relationship. But back to yoga. It's very quick and healthy. You'll see results within the first week u do it. Doctor's even perscribe it to their patients. The most commonly practiced is Hatha yoga. It's primary goal is to cleanse the mind, body, and spirit. By doing this u increase flexibility, muscle tone, and shed some unwanted pounds. To do this u first begin by doing breathing exercises. By sitting on the floor in Indian style and breathing in through your nose for 3 seconds and out through your nose 3 seconds. You can do this for however long u want to. Next you begin exercises. These are just a series of stretches. By doing these u are increasing your flexibility and muscle tone. Then u move into meditation by laying down somewhere quiet and completely relaxing your body and clearing your mind. You will feel much better after you have done this. I am now half way through my 11th grade year and I am 5'3" and weigh 123lbs. I am at my all time goal. I wear a size 9 and I receive so many compliments from my family and friends. I'm actually skinnier than most of the friends that used to "tease" me. But I refuse to make fun of them cause I know what it feels like to be put in that position and how depressing it is. Now all my grandma talks about is how proud she is of me and how beautiful I look. And I feel so good about myself now! I feel like a completely different person. Anyone can do it. I'm just offering a quick and VERY healthy lifelong way to lose the weight and keep it off. If you have ANY questions or comments I would LOVE to hear from u. U can e-mail me at jenn_084@hotmail.com or Friscos4@compu.net and just type Jenna in the subject line. Love always and good luck! And always remember these quotes:"If you judge someone you have no time to love them" -Mother Teresa"Be kind for everyone you meet is fighting a harder battle." -Plato:-) (view less)

Im about 178-185 pounds. Am I am about 5"5 and sometimes I feel bad about myself because my freinds wear tight shirts and they look great in them but I can't wear them because my stomach would come out so far.And my mom told me I could wear them if I lost weight.And also all of the boys at my scool go for the girls that have flat stomach's it doesn't matter how smart that person is as long as they are skinny then everyone at my school wants them!

I am 5'6'' and 152 lbs. I have a stomach msotly and I wear tight clothes that show my stomache. At first before two years ago I was ashamed. I now realize that that its a'' about self confidence and the way you carry yourself. In elementary school I was always teased but WHEN I WAS IN MIDDLE SCHOOL IT STARTED TO STOP. Thats when I started to gain confidence. Since then I have slimmed a little but my stomache is still there. My friends and people at my school started respecting me for all of my self confidence. All in all be confident in yourself and know in god's eyes you are beautiful and people around you will also see the beauty

Hey all,
I'm 14, 5'7 and I weigh 165. I go to a very small school and I'm friends with everyone. I have tons of friends and a caring boyfriend and a good life at school. But my parents are getting a divorce. I get soooo depressed I eat. I have gained 30 pounds since last year and I feel awful! I play basketball and fast pitch softball. I'm Pres. of our FCA group, I'm a representative for FBLA, I'm active in 4-h and I'm on the academic team. Why am I not losing weight? Cause I eat like a pig. I'm on a very big diet. I only eat 3 meals a day and 1 snack. I feel very confident right now. I'm willing to talk to anyone bout n*e thing. My e-mail is sports_chic_25@hotmail.com I'm very entergetic my friends describe me as crazy so don't hesitate to talk to me(guys and gurls). God #1.

hi all
i am 13, 5'6" and 135 lb, which is only 1 lb. under the overweight line I have a very fat stomach that folds over when i sit and big thighs. all my friends are like 110 and think 135 is super fat because they have no fat on them so i am the only kid with extra fat. They are all thinner than me and i can never borrow pants or anything cuz i wont fit! it is hard for me to lose this fat but i want to and need help.
