im 220 lbs and i need help losing weight. Ive but on some weight this years and i would like 2 get it off. I went over my friends house last weekend and i burst through my pajamas.The buttons popped off the shirt first then my pants ripped when i bent over. I was humiliated. They saw my fat stomach, my rolls, and the rest of my fat on my body. every 1 thought it was funny bcause i couldn't fit some of my jeans i brought 2 wear either, 2 let u no they was a size 34. They grabbed my rolls and started to jiggle them. They said my stomach shuck like jello. 2 weeks ago those jeans were baggy now there just a pair of pants i cant wear. I feel really fat that im bigger than all of my friends. I need serious help. Plz reply

Heya guys! I am kinda depressed at the moment coz I'm so HUNGRY!!! I am on a diet and eat sensibly but can't snack or have large portion sizes. It seems to be working, but its so boring! I have recently discovered my love for grapes, so I eat a lot of them (they aren't to fattening are they?)and also love raspberries and sunflower seeds. But all I wan't now is a huge, sizzling slice of pizza and its really annoying me! At the moment I weigh 120 lbs and I am 5'3. My friends don't say that they think I'm fat, but I think I am. My thighs are like tree trunks but less firm, my ass is the size of Texas and I'm not even going into details of my stomach. Have any of you guys got a diet plan that won't make me so bored? All I am eating is peas, brown rice, chicken and eggs and it sucks. I also try to exersise but I hate it completely. There are no exersizes that I enjoy, like, at all. I hate having to lose weight. Are you guys as tired and hungry as me? Please give me some tips or anything! Love CaseyXXXXXXXX

Did you guys ever notice how some people, if they are the exact same height and weight, look different. It's because of their bone size. If you have a larger skeleton, you can carry the same amount of weight as another person, yet look skinnier, cause you have more bones which make you weigh more, and you actually have less fat as a person the same size as you. I don't know if that made any sense to you guys, but that's the best way I can explain it. The way to tell if you have a large, medium, or small frame is this: wrap your fingers over your wrist, if your fingers don't touch, you have a large frame, if they touch, or over lap a little bit, you have a medium frame, and if they over lap, you have a small frame. You can tell your frame size at any weight because your wrists don't have fat on them. So, basically if you have a large frame, you will weigh more, and most weight charts don't take that into consideration. I have a large frame, and I'm 5'1", and I'm 148 pounds. People say I look like I'm only 135 or so, that's because a large portion of weight I carry is my skeleton, and I carry less fat and muscle that somebody 5'1", 148 pounds, and a small frame does. It's all relative, I hope this helped!

Okay everyone. I've been reading though all these messages here, and i've realised that most people are here about the same thing. People want to loose weight, and are looking for a quick, easy way to do it. Lets face it though, its not gonna happen. The sooner you realise that, the better off i beleive you are. And all the people giving off advice, it all boils down to the same thing. Exercise more, and eat less. But i also know that it is a lot more complicated than that. First someone starts to go on a strict diet, they get hungry, eat some chocolate for about a week, than are ready to start dieting again, to which they get hungry and eat some more. I think that if anyone wanting to loose some weight should start off this way. First, DON'T starve yourself. That will NEVER work, because A) Not many people have the will power, and B) You do u'r body more harm than good. Second, exercise more. Start exercising 10 mins more a day. Then every 4 days, build it up 10 mins, till your doing 1 hour a day. If that doesn't start making you loose weight, cut down a VERY little of what you eat. Also, if you are planning on cutting out junkfood to loose weight, don't cut it ALL out at once. Do it in sections. First cut out chocolate, then after a week, cut out chips, then the week after cut out lollies etc... so that eventually you are ALMOSt not eating junkfood. I hope this has helped people out there. Its not so much info, its more advice. I know that people out there will have TOTALLY different thoughts than i do, but 'clest la vie'(which is french for, 'that is life')

Does this mean i'm fat? My mommy bought me jeans 3 weeks ago and they fit good but today i tried to put them on and i couldn't zip them up and all. I could when i sucked my tummy in but then i would let it out and the button would pop open and the zipper would upzip. I'm 11 and i'm about 4 foot 11 and the last time i was in the bathroom my mommy had me step on the scale we have and it said 127 and she said that i weigh too much but i don't know if i do.
