Ht. 5'9", Wt. 290 - Dear Bluberbusters, My life has been destroyed every since I can remember. People don't understand what its like being oveweight or obese in Americas society today.Everywhere I go i'm always self-concious. I tug on my shirt(every five min.) so my "rolls" won't show,I buy bigger clothes so no one wil see my body. Its horrible. People laugh at me and call me names.My sisters are't "small," but smaller than me. I really want to loose weight but not to the point of starving or anything like that. My life has been destroyed due to my weight. My friends say it hurts them to see me so depressed and always putting myself down because there "small." It want to loose weight in 2007. I need to loose about 220lbs. All I'm asking for is support from teens who feel my pain. If ANYONE has any tips or sucessful weight loss stories PLEASE help me.
Reply from Liam, Age 14 - 01/16/07 - IP#: 74.229.124.xxx Your goal of losing 220 pounds is unrealistic and unhealthy. I would set little goals and try to lose 150-170 lbs.
Reply from Aquesha, Age 15 - 01/04/07 - IP#: 208.22.108.xxx To be honest I think it's a good thing you want to do something about your weight but if you lose 220 lbs your going to be smaller than you need to be maybe if you think about losing less weight by taking small steps at a time, it might make your diet a little more easy.

Reply from andrea, Age 15 - 01/01/07 - IP#: 70.123.118.xxx i know you can do it!...i lost 40 lbs last year...just so you know...im not 155..im 135..but last year at this time i was around 170...i told myself that i was ready to change and i even started whitening my teeth to boost self esteem. i just told myself that i didnt need certain foods that i really wanted. ive always done sports..so exercising is fairly easy to me..and you have to remember that you can have a treat every now and then..like you can have any meal you want every 2 weeks :)
Reply from Courtney, Age 15 - 01/01/07 - IP#: 205.188.116.xxx Hey, don't be so tough on yourself. If you want to lose weight all you hae to do is try. I am SURE you can do it, it may take a while, just don't give up. And loosing 220 pounds would make you weihg 70 which is not good, so i think you meant 120 which is reasonable. You just have to eat right and exersize, it is harder then it sounds...i know. Anyway, if you eed any help or just someone to talk to feel free to e-mail me at weallshineon930@aol.com
