My school does weights and heights too. I hate that phyical testing!! Everybody else weighed fron 51 to 154 [the girls] I weighed 154, but, one weighed 148, so I really didn't feel bad but I need to lose weight.

i saw this site while i was looking for the same thing as all of us! an easy way to lose wieght. so far i believe that there is no such thing. i am extremly over weight, i am 87kg and only 156cm tall. all my friends wiegh half of me.
at school when we have to record our weight i refuse to do it.
i love going shopping with my friends but when they go to try on clothes i stand out side the change rooms and hold their bags, this doesn't make shopping fun.
i never tell anyone my weight cause i am so ashamed, some of my friends say i look good for a bigger person and hide my flab well, but that hurts all i ever want is to be normal, a normaal shape just like every one else. i hope to hear from any one! i am relying on your help and support to make me the normal shape that i only dream of!

Hey everybody. I am 12 years old and 226 pounds. I want to loose weight by the next school year. Preferably 50 pounds. If I ate two meals a day which were low on fat and about 900 calories, and drank a lot of water, do you think I could loose 50 lbs by school next year. I wished I had people to talk to about my problem, but talking to friends or family members would embarrass me. I guess talking to perect strangers and not having them see me is the best way for me. Can anybody help me. Thanks a lot
