Ht. 5'0", Wt. 120 - Yeah, one of my friends is sort of heavy, and she says that she needs to lose 20lbs before school starts. I'm kinda worried, because she DOES need to lose weight *above stats* but I don't want to tell her that yes, she's overweight, she needs to go lose weight. How can I help discreetly?

I do think that you should be honest with your friend but in a more reluctant way for example: your friend come up to you and says hey i lost 6lbs, wow thats awesome im so proud you and you look really good great job....instead of yea thats good you really did need to loose some weight i mean no one wants to hear that as much as they might say they dont mind theres a difference in being homest and being rude

Reply from ro, Age 20 - 08/20/05 - IP#: 132.216.21.xxx Tell her you are starting an exersize program and you need a buddy. Tell her you are doing it because you want to live long and be healthy and make a list of healthy foods you are gonna eat and offer it to her.
Reply from Ellison, Age 13 - 08/20/05 - IP#: 24.254.246.xxx I don't want her to flip out on me, because she's slightly prone to pill taking.. and I don't want her to being a diet supplement.
