Hey...this is the first time that I have everb een to this website. I am 18 and I weigh somewhere between 135-140 pounds and am 5'7. I know that I am not clinically overweight but I have gained weight over the past few months and I have never felt this bad about myself. Honestly, I really want to lose 10-15 pounds and get back to my normal weight because I just can't stand to see myself like this. I am not trying to offend anyone who is clinically overweight or anything but if there is someone out there who is in the same boat as me, I would really like someone to talk to about this. Since I am not clinically overweight I get absolutely no encouragement from my friends or family and when I asked my doctor how I could lose weight in a healthy and safe way she wasnt much help. I just need some support and to know that there are other people like me out there. THanks, Ally

Just excersize more and maybe windsor pilates would b good for you b/c it tones you up, so even if you do not lose any weight, you will look like you did. I hope I helped.
Reply from MissyK, Age 18 - 07/10/04 - IP#: 24.84.212.xxx OH my goodness I TOTALLY UNDERSTAND how you feel! Last summer I was 103-105lbs! Two summers ago I was 98lbs! Well, I gained weight due to alot of factors like new school, new job, vacation, depression etc... I went up to 120lbs, which is still lighter than when I was heaviest, but I still feel like poop! I've been using this site and I've lost 5lbs, so now I'm 5"2 and 115lbs. I know this isn't overweight, but considering how much better I felt about myself when I was lighter, I'd really like to lose weight. My best friend won't support me because she doesn't want me to be thinner than her like I used to be. She enjoys how she can say I'm fat now. We're supposed to be friends, so I don't understand why she's purposely calling me out and making me eat. When I don't, she says all this crap about how I lost weight in the past (starving myself) and how I should just do that again. I DON'T starve myself now! Sorry to ramble. Anyway, here's my email if you need a diet buddy. I currently only have one, which is Chelsea. She helped me change my habits, so it's helpful to have a diet buddy. missy_kawaii@hotmail.com

Reply from Kally johanna L., Age 17 - 07/10/04 - IP#: 24.119.247.xxx Ally... I know exactly what you mean.. I am 17 years old. I have been all the way down to 105 ( 2 summerx ago) and i felt SO much better about myself, amazingly had a ton more energy, and all i did was eat healthy and excersize, and controlled my portions. Last summer was hell afterwards, i'd gained 25 lbs. in ONE SUMMER!!! Now i'm up to about 135 , and i am only 5 foot 3. This is borderline to being overweight. My friends I think dont support me becuase they are jealous of how i look when i am 15-20 lbs. lighter ( not trying to sound conceided but true)!! And my familly knows that i was thin before and thought i had eating problems, but really i just didn't pig out all the time like i do now!! its terrible.. i tried the south beach, adn i have lost only 5 lbs over this entire summer.. i want to lose like 15 more before school starts but i just dont know what to do.. the neeedle is staying at 130 and WONT BUDGE!!! Help!! Email me at actn4ever6@hotmail.com.... i understand you trust me!! :)-
