I know this will be deleted but maybe some will see it. How come you all have to lose weight? Im 15, 5'9" and 300 pounds and im happy. Sure im not the healthiest but this site really does need to teach kids they need to feel good about themselves. All this site really says is if you are overwheight you need to lose weight, wich could be taken many ways. Please try to promote size accpetance, this site promotes bullies, it does not really help! And some of these posts are not good! I only read a few but one said to stop eating all carbs...that is not healthy! To be healthy one must eat a balanced diet that consists of all foods. Please do not delete this post, that will only prove my points. Being overwheight can lead to suicide or unhealthy habbits, many forming from depression because one is fat. And all this site seems to say is that they are right, the person is really fat and needs to lose weight, wheres the size acceptance?

Promoting self exceptance is a great thing, and whenever i post about losing weight I always tell people they need to accept themselves. But, being overweight is damaging to people's social lives and especially their health. If people aren't happy with themselves, they should change. If that means losing weight, exercising, getting a different job, read more, whatever, as long as it improved quality of life, it will be a good thing. Thanx for your concern, tho.

Hi everyone. I just wanted to know...Is there some way to get more energy? I'm pretty lazy, and I always seem tired. Because of this, I don't exersize as often as I should? Is there anything I can do?

Umm that's tricky cuz I have the same problem most days myself...but I find that when I exercise in the morning, I have more energy for the day. Exercise gives you energy...believe it or not...and I know it's hard to get up and do something, I have a lot of trouble with that...but when you do, you'll find that you feel much better. Also, are you getting enough food? When I don't eat enough, I have low energy... sleep can also provide more energy. Well hope I've helped a little :)

A lot of you are talking about like, week long diets where you lose up to 10-15 lbs. I just want to tell you that it's water weight. Don't try something that you can't see yourself doing for the rest of your life. (maybe not as strict once u lose what u want) But otherwise if you go back to a junk food diet, you'll gain it back. Exercise and eating healthy should be a lifestyle change, not a week long thing.

i was wondering if anyone knew if sherbert icecream was fatining. my friend says it isnt and is ok to eat on a diet.

sherbert is low in fat, but it has a lot of sugars, which can be converted into fat if you have too many carbos in your diet. so a little bit of sherbert is fine, just don't think that just because it's low in fat it can't pack on the pounds.

sorry to break it to ya hun, but u waisted ure money. those belts have been proven worthless and can even cause burns. i saw it on the news. some people got 3rd degree burns from it. the shocks do nothing but act as a massaser and do not build muscle. if i were u i would return it before u get hurt.

ok, I was dieting and doing 4 hours or more of exercise. I'm loosing weight with a friend. I decided to go low-cal, and she, her mom, and my mom are concerned. I try to eat less than 900 calories a day, again doing more than 4 hours of exercise a day. Today I did 7 hours of exercise and 1875 calories. I binged because I was so hungry! But am I being smart dieting like this? I want to lose 30 pounds by september.

You probably have a type of bulimia, some types don't throw up, but over excercise, if you do more than three hours, than you definetly have an eating disorder. Get help, see a doctor, please, I don't want to see the same thing happen to another girl.

This may sound weird,but i decided i was going to go anorexic for awhile. Well now im addicted to it.And its scary. I wrote a poem about it..In everybody’s mind Are two visions that they see An image of themselves And one of who they dream to be The dream is full of curves Hearts of gold and smiling light While self image is in a corner Growing darker, out of sight Soon the dream becomes more real So pure and easy to attain All that’s needed is a path Into this idolized domain The first step is so easy Just a little less to eat Each night you lay in hunger Soon drifting into sleep Eventually the hunger Is a habit not a pain It's a guarantee of beauty That your struggling to obtain Self image is so clouded Obscure in hidden haze Self confidence is lost Impossible to raise The image in a mirror Is a picture of distortion The figure that you see Your mind twists into false proportion...

O.k hear me out I am a 5'6 1/2 female that weights 150lbs. All I want to lose is about 10-15lbs. by the time I get back to school. While in school I was always considered "big", or giraffe and I know that people my age are cruel about things like this, but I decided that I needed to lose weight over the summer. I know that there are people a lot worse off then I am but just to get down to at least a size 8 would satisfy me. What i am trying to ask is if there is anyone out there who had fitness tips that don't include not eating bread because i have been doing that and it isn't working and yes i am exercising but that doesn't help what I am eating. If anyone has good recipes for a girl like me that actually works. Also don't put something like eat only ice or don't eat at all because i am not into that type of stuff. I really appreciate all of the help I get from people. Also you can email me with tips or recipes at cayger123@aol.com. I forgot to mention that I have been exericising for the past 3 weeks and all ready have lost 10lbs. since then. I have told and asked you everything for know thanks to everone who replys. BYE

OH MY GOSH!!! 10 pounds?! 3 weeks?! wow!!!be proud of yourself!!!sorry i dont have any tips im looking for some myself, but always remember its not what you eat its how much. think of food as car gas. its fuel for your body and if you put too much gas in a ar it gets flooded. way to go though!!!

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$
