hey don`t feel bad about what other ppl think if you like taking walks then take walks it will help you lose wieght and if somebody looks at you and you don`t like it look at then the same way you should just do what makes you happy and even if you are over wieght i bet you are a really good person on the inside and thats what counts if you need someone to talk to you can email me at punkygurl8702@netscape.net or on aim punkygurl8702 i hope this advice works for you :)

If you think your life sucks, I bet you all I have that mine is a lot, lot worse. I have been fat since I can remember, and currently weigh 324 lbs. I have a set of scales in my room but most of the time I'm too ashamed to even stand on them. I don't even have a pretty face. Whenever my mom drags me off to the shops I usually end up in tears surrounded by gorgous slim girls. The other day I was in a store and I saw a blue summer dress I really liked. I got the biggest size and tried it on, but when I tried to get it off the zip got stuck. The asisstant had to come and try and get it off, but she had to come and get her friend to help her because it was stuck fast. I ended up running out of the shop in tears. Its even worse at school. They've managed to think up every mean name accosiated woth being fat that there is. My mom is overweight too and says I'm being stupid when I try to diet, and fills the house with junk food which I can't resist. You guys mean so much to me and any suggestions you come up with will really help. Thankyou!!

hi there if i was you i would be proud of who i am one of my close friends is big and she is always putting herself down and that only makes things worse. i mean i understand how she feels she is always getting laughed at and the advice i would give you is to stand strong and be who you are dont worry about what people say as long as you and your mates stick together you will be fine and also if you do feel really sad i would talk to some one which i can trust such as your mum and dad to exspress you feeling that usally makes you feel better.

Ht. 5'9", Today: 330 lb (BMI %tile: 98) - I just wanted to say that you guys need to accept who you are before you do anything. Im 5'9 and 330 pounds and I know its bad for me but honestly im able to ignore peoples comments and im only trying to lose because I know its bad for me. But the first step to weight loss is accepting you who are and getting over other peopels comments. You will find it much easier to lose weight if you can ignore poepls mean comments.

This is totally true, guys. For years I was about the same BMI but always felt horrible about myself, and lived in fear that someone would ask my weight or something. Sure enough, recently I've stopped worrying, and learned to accept myself for who I am, while eating slightly smaller portions. I've lost 2 inches and 10 pounds this way.

Yes, you are overweight, but don't be discouraged! It sounds like you have about the same body type as I do, because I have a big tummy but my arms are pretty thin. I became overweight when I was your age and quickly gained weight; my only sucess losing weight didn't come from a strict diet/exercise program but from smaller portions and just trying to accept myself for who I was. I've lost 10 pounds this way.

This word of wisdom helped me and I hope it can help more people. To all the people who think that they are ugly because they are overweight. I know that you have heard this a countless number of times but it really doesn't matter what's on the outside but on the inside that counts. I didn't believe that until I heard it from my aunt. She told me that I was kind and thoughtful and polite and thats all that matters. I was the chubbiest kid on the block but it didn't matter because I was beautiful to the people that loved me the most. To this day I am still not beautiful but because of my aunt I belive in myself.

One thing a lot of larger children have problems with is acceptance by themselves and their peers. To a lot of younger people on this board, it gets easier. I have lost some weight, but I still believe if I hadn't, things (socially)would have still gotten better for me. I know that a lot of people pick on you. Right now I have a boyfriend who loves me, lots of friends, and a happy social life. Just because you are bigger than most kids doesn't mean you have to stay holed up in your room all weekend. Get out and enjoy life. Have fun. That's what being a kid is all about.

i agree. i know some one who is very over weight in my school, but she is so popular! she doesn't feel sorry for her self being over weight. she goes out there and join clubs and meet new people. she is very funny and has a great personality wich is why she is so popular. so if u just go out there and give it your best (i know it kinda sounds lame but i can't think of anything eles) then life would great.
