no matter what you weigh just be yourself.I weighed 140 and lost 7 bounds from just doing everyday stuff playing basket ball walking and doing crunches.Even if you are unhappy with your weight just remember its your personality that people look for not your weight.so dont thin you have to lose weight to make people like you. do it for yourself and good luck.I know i need it lol.

I lost 8 pounds since easter. I am now 5'4 and 152 pounds. I learned something last night at a dance. I learned that alot of boys don't care if I am overweight. I asked 7 boys to slowdance with me and 5 of them did. Also when I was club dancing a boy came up to me and started dancing with me and doing weird moves. My friend, Vincent and I started laughing and went along with it. Then the boys said "well thanks for letting me dance with you! You guys are great dancers!"

I bet that your friend would really apprechiate your help. I know that when I was younger I used to ask my friends for help, unfortunatly they never really could becuase I guess they just didn't know what to do but I think the first thing you need to do it tell her that your concerned about her weight. Don't tell her that shes too fat or that she needs to lose a ton of weight becuase that will hurt her feelings and if shes an emtional eater then that could result in more eating which won't improve the situation. Just say something like "____ (her name) I'm really worried about you. It seems like your gaining alot of weight recently and I don't care about what you look like but I want you to be healthy. If you want me to help you lose some weight then I will" or something similar. Some things you could do to help her is make sure you don't buy any extra junk food when she sleeps over and ...

Some things you could do to help her is make sure you don't buy any extra junk food when she sleeps over and do things that are active, like go on a walk or bike ride. Also don't go places that are focused on eating, like me and my friends meet at a Coffee Shop in town and I always end up dumping sugar and cream into my coffee, so don't meet at an ice cream place or coffee place. And if you get snacks at certain places you go like the movies then try to get something a little on the healthier side like diet pop or unbuttered pop corn. The main reason I'm having problems right now with losing weight is becaue I'm constantly surrounded by people eating, my friends, my family, people at school...if you can help get rid of some of those temptations then she'll have an easier time losing weight. I hope this helps. *ray*ray* (view less)

I would only tell them if they are your best friends and you can trust them. If they are not, they will most likely tell people.

Then other times when i am with my friends i feel like i am very happy but i am still fat and ugly. I mean i am 13 and i still dont have a boyfriend and im still a prud, how sad is that. If anyone can give me any advice on what to do or something i would really need it cause im just kinda depressed.

i know how you feel. i have had one bf who was a complete dork. i make up for boy friends in friends. i dont really feel ugly, its just im the girl guys go to for advice, more of a best friend. dont worry. boys at our age can be kind of immature(no offense guys) but they'll grow out of it and see you not as an overweight girl, but a beautiful person.

how can you tell if someone is overweight or just muscular? i like this guy and he has a lot of muscle but all my friends think hes really fat and ugly. his shoulders are broad and hes just..big. im in his PE class and he can really lift so much weight (we have a weight lifting room) i dont kno what to think. hes really good looking and is 5 foot 8, i am 5 foot 7 and im a year younger than him. he plays soccer and i always catch him looking at me. but someone please give me your opinion, is he fat or just muscular? i need to know before he asks me out

Whether he is fat or muscular shouldn't matter. If you like him talk to him.

There is no way to tell someone how to get a BF, but to have a better attitude, and more friends, i guess you can just be happy, be your self, and smile.

Hey everyone!! The other day my friend and I were walking around and we came across these really nice handsome boys around our age and we all started talking and one of the boys, Paul asked me how long I had been overweight. I was kind of shocked by this but I answered him,"pretty much my whole life". He said " i used to be overweight". i asked him if he was lying and he told me no. he used to weigh 420 lbs. i stared at him in disbelief. he told me if i wanted to, he would help me lose some weight. i agreed and we have been working together for about a week and i have lost about 8 lbs!! what we did was exercise every day from about 8:00 am-10:00 am by either running, walking, doing aerobics and other stuff. and we followed weight watchers. i cant belive i went on weight watchers. it was a shock, but it does work. I hope this story inspires you! Paul and I are great friends now and we might become something more than just friends! ~ivy

Hey!!
People that call other fat are not very good friends. most people make fun of others because it makes you feel lower then them in their mind if you make sure that they don't know it bothers you it might help a little nad might leave you alone. If these does not work and they still make fun of you try telling someone you trust so they can talk to those friends. I know you probably don't wanna go up to them but try it maybe it will help you!!
