Ht. 5'3", Today: 180 lb - heres the thing....me and my best friend are both the same weight and height. i want to lose the weight, and my best friend could care less as to what she weighs but she always complains she is fat and she wants to look skinny...but she thinks that u'll wake up one morning skinny. i don't know what to say to her without hurting her feelings. at least i want to do something like get up and active before school starts.

that is recipe for disaster, what always happens is one of you will lose weight and the other wont and then for whatever reason you wont be friends anymore. lol, me and my friend dieted together and i got thin and she didnt and we ended up not being friends and then when i got heavy again and i lost weight with another friend she ended up being thin and me heavy. we arent friends anymore. lol. i dont know why it happens, but really either diet with someone you dont know or no one at all. weight is a sensitive issue, and friends get jealous of one another and it just never ends pretty. stay friends with this girl, and dont bother her with your plan to diet. if you slim down, she won't be as jealous as if you had dieted together. and what if she gets thin first? youll feel awful. just... well... dont risk your friendship over something like weight!

me and heather (another girl on this board) are really good friends who weight basically the same and are basically the same height. we used eachother as motivation and tried to lose weight together! say to her "i really wanna lose weight, and since you do to, i was thinking we could start working out together and stuff"
