Try 10 minute solutions it is a great tape I do it every morning b4 shower and breakfast, and it really takes off the weight and there are so many options,(Like yoga, kick boxing, pilates, boot camp and ballet) It also fits into that busy day. You can pbly pick it up a you local K-Mart for 7$

Nicole don't worry, I am overweight too and I am depressed sometimes but if you stay depressed you won't lose the weight needed because you are too worried. You have to pace yourself do activities that make you feel comftable but don't over work yourself. Even though I hate my weight I love myself enough to try to lose the weight. I was overweight since I was 10 and still am today, all because of one little thing DEPRESSION, and I need to learn to overcome that feeling so I can overcome the fear of being overweight. All you need to do is relax and pace yourself, and you can make it....If you have any questions email me at: tiella16@hotmail.com

she is definetly ana, i am 5'0 80 pounds, my bmi (basal metabolism weight) is underweight and she sounds alot thinner than i am. I have a friend who is anorexic and her boyfriend, to get her to stop, gave up eating and then my friend was really upset and tried to make him eat again and he said the only way he would was if she did. it sounds drastic but it might help her realize how much she is hurting you. If nothing else works give it a try.

Hey! You know im not the skinniest girl in school, nor the biggest but still have gotten names called, (im 15 147lbs.) anyways! i heard a quote which is awesome! "no one can make you feel inferior without your consent" for the younger crowd that means no one can make you feel down or bad without your willing to listen or take it in! Dont let people get to you..you are beautiful and handsome no matter how big or small you are!!!!!

i think you must have gained muscle, because muscle weighs more than fat-which would explain the scales, and muscle looks better and being fit makes you feel better-which explains the rest

Hi everybody. I just found a sight that I'm really excited about and I think you all should try it. It's www.workoutplan.com. It's a free sight where you can plan work outs according to you, you can also get the exercises they give you on your customized plan. I hope you all will at least try it. Please let me know what you think of it by replying to this message.

I got the video that has kickology and a full workout that is about 20 minutes longs. Anyone of the videos will work. I love doing taebo. Go to www.taebo.com if you can't find the videos anywhere else. You should also read the testimonials (tae bo heros). Good luck!
