I Joined a Weight Loss Group Called TOPS (Taking off pounds sensibly) Ok Soo Whenn I started I was 11 Years Old At 301 Pounds, Thats a Lot right?!..I had very low self esteem and had just started at a new school. I joined the group with my mom At First I had Lost 37.7 Pounds and won first place in provincal and international division 8 age group,It Was Great Got A Trip to Disney World..Oh and i was twelve when i lost that weight, as i reached age 13 i was now at 240. Iam Still Losing and not going to give up,Because i realized i would feel better if i was healthy..I now have a high self esteem and iam going to my old school aand making friends..Its Feels great,
All I really did was eat less and healthier
walked occasionally i roller skate each weekend friday and saturday for 2 hours.
So All I got To say Is Never Give Up Even If You Gain half back
dont Give up and Try 5xs Harder.
Good Luck :).

i have started school like 4 weeks ago. things r a lot better now this year and without even trying i'm loosing a little weight. i'm eating healthier because i feel better about myself, and i can run 4 miles without stopping. i feel so much better now that i have friends, and this site has helped my self-confidence alot. everyone just keep trying and try to feel better about yourself. you really don't know how much inner emotions have to do with being over weight!!! g2g! peace and hairgrease!!

hey its me, im replaying to ur message. Well ive been doing it for 3 days and I feel energetic. I even feel skinnier, lol. I think i may have lost 1 or 2 pounds but its only been 3 days. Even today when i went to the mall with my skinny friend, I usually feel like crap compared to her and I just feel great. And the program isnt really extreme. It starts off with a nice warm up and then gradually works into a brisk walk. I love the cool down in the end because all of your muscles are warm and they strecth easily. I really do love "WAlk away the puonds", and when i got it I think it cost about $20. Which includes the 3 tapes: 1 mile, 2 mile , 3 mile, and the 2 weighted balls. I just smile in the end becauseit feels so great. Ill let ya know my weight progress. Bye

heres a message to all GIRLS. i notice that sumtimes when girls r overweight they forget about being feminine and they feel really ungirly because of their weight. but fun ways to keep u in touch with ur girly side are these: belly dance...it feels great and is amazing to watch no matter how u look..actually, any type of dancing that you'd never catch boys doing works!!!! another GREAT way to walk ur fat off is SHOPPING. take a trip to the mall for a whole day with ur best girls and go in like EVERY store. it doesnt matter what sizes the clothes are, just look at them and admire their variety. qo into accessory shops and sample perfume, or get your makeup done somewhere. you'll be walking SO much thatyou wont even REALIZE it. just stay away from the food court! you can also do the regular stuff like running and crunches and other excersizes...but afterwards, be sure to reward yourself with a manicure or pedicure!!! good luck and remember to stay a girl! ;)- LeYaNiSz

I've felt uncomfortable with my body for the longest time and I decided to never do anything about it.So...yesterday I decided that I would do 100 crunches a day and drink plenty of water. Also I think I am going to try walking with my 5-year-old neighbor. I'm hoping to lose 35 pounds. I want to do this so I can feel better about myself when I go to highschool and to gain self-confidence!! Tell me what you think...

QUESTION: my friend and me was just talking about weight.........(she is as skinny as a rail) neway it was can a person really be "HAPPY" big? personally i think no.........you just accept the fact......i mean think about it shopping can be rough(not to mention they charge MORE!) people stare at you, you are uncomfortable fitness wise ,and evny is something "WE" just as humans can't not stop to do.i told her i think peole just give up and be like whatever this is who i "choose to be" and everyother excuse in the book I MEAN I COULD BE WRONG!!!!!!!!! so don't attack me just my OPINION!!!!! but i am wondering what do other people think

I have always believed that people of bigger stature can be just as pretty as tyra banks or whoever... It just depends on how you present yourself to others, and how you feel about yourself. If you feel good, it shows. I am 5'7, 165, and i lost about 10 pounds. I am not small, but im healthy and im vibrant and beautiful. I get just as much attention if not more, because im confident, and i like myself for me. Big can be beautiful, just as long as you love who you are. Thanks much.

Hi1....I think the best way for u to loose weight and to gain more confidence is to eat loads and loads of fruits and vegetables and drink at least 6 glasses of water a day. u can also try to walk around the neighbourhood a couple of times a day. well. I hope it works out for you and good luck!
