I am almost 5'8 and i weigh 78kg which is, i'm just guessing here, 170 something lbs. i am too embarrassed to do sport at school, so i'm always missing school. i want to lose weight REALLY quickly!! as in EXTREMELY quickly. Lately i've been throwing up after eating, but sometimes it doesn't work, i don't know why. i've tried starving myself, but i can't! i love food!!!! how can i get down to 60kg in a month or 2 months! i am so desperate!

Hi i just wanted to let u know starvin urself isn't good. it won't help..u could end up in the hospital and it messes up your body..when i say messes up your body i mean if u skip a meal it sometimes make u get fatter..i read that in about 10 places. it has to do with your body. when u go to sleep your body goes into low so when u wake up it goes back to high when you eat so if you skip breakfast and dont eat until lunch then your body doesn't go into high until then and so you could be burnin 2wice as much fat if you ate breakfast.

Its cool that you wanna shape up, but please don't throw up or starve yourself. I tried starving my self for a whole day, and by the end of the day, I was more hungry than usual, so in the long run I gained weight. So just don't worry about your weight, just walk everyday, even if it is just around your house.

Dear Jacinta,
It is really dangerrous to throw up after you eat, you could become anerixc or lots of other things. And staving will make you thin but when you start eating again youwill gain back allmost everything. So you should exercise like walk each night, cut down on your food ( I have to work hard on that part),make a rule about junk food like I do only on the week-end( that means chocolate too), and drink lots of water. It works for me I've lost 5 pounds. And it doesn't take that long if you are set on doing it. You can do it! You just have to believe in yourself. Hope I helped.Bye
