I have recently lost about 35 pounds, I would say in about a month and a half ( maybe two months) I still would like to lose about 10-20 pounds then I will be very happy but it is getting there! I weighed about 175 pounds and was 5'7". Now I weight 150 and am the same height. The way I lost it didn't necessarily start out good though. When I started eating too much I would feel sick. Then, about the next day even if I ate very little I still wouldn't feel very good. So for the next month I kept eating very little. I know it is a very unhealthy way to lose weight! When I didn't eat as much I would lose weight and feel happier. When I started not eating as much I did feel better, I don't eat healthy really though and still need to work on my daily diet. I realized how much moderation in foods does count. I also started not thinking about eating, therefor I would not take up my time eating ...

I also started not thinking about eating, therefor I would not take up my time eating to make myself feel better because it will just lead to yourself feeling worse in the end by you probably gaining weight! I found other things to occupy my mind, to do, to think about and such that made me feel better without a bad reaction happening in the future. I didn't really exercise though, because of my condition and it would make me very sick. Or else I might of atleast a little. I found out that finding new ways to think about it, and not eating because I am sad and doing something else instead made it better. Hopefully some people can try and find something to do instead, that one thing can really do alot! (view less)

hey ppl!i think the problem about overweight ppl is that they wanna lose weight in so litle time , so that doesnt works they wain the weight again, then get depressed and eat more, so as u can see the 3 weeks's diets to lose LOTS of weight DOESNT WORKS!!! You need to change your mind, this means that food and ur weight is only something else in ur life and NO ALL UR FKN LIFE!!!U need to learn how to eat, if u think that eating 2 MINTS for breakfast is the way ur gonna lose weight UR COMPLETELY WRONG!!! ok ur eating the mints for breakfast then ull be sooo hungry and eat everything u find!!!U NEED TO LEARN WHAT U HAVE TO EAT, WHEN AND HOWNo to starve urself!!!cya!

I feel for you Melissa. Its tough to lose weight if your depressed because if your like me (225 lbs) you use food to treat your depression. But what I realised is that its a vicious circle thing because when I overeat I get more overweight and I get more depressed so I eat even more to make myself feel better and gain even more weight, get more depressed and it just gets worse. What I did to break the vicious circle was... 1) I got a dog. Hes wonderful. Hes my friend and we take walks together every day, even we jog some. That keeps me from heading for the fridge all the time and is fun exercise. 2) I been going to counseling at the mental health clinic. It doesnt cost much. My counselor talked about a antidepressent medication but I dont think I even need it now. 3) I go dancin at the community center thing every Sunday. Im shy but theres guys who are worse dancers than me... lol. 4) I... (view more)I feel for you Melissa.

well you can change that!! talk to a doctor or a parent. there is lots of low fat/low sugar foods you can eat. and when you eat healthy foods in healthy portions you'll feel so good about yourself! try to exercise, maybe just walking (atleast 20 minutes) GOOD LUCK YOU CAN DO IT!

When I was 12, I weighed 236 lbs. I felt horrible, and I had no self esteem. I would look in the mirror and get depressed, so I would eat, then I would look in the mirror and get depressed...and so on.. I decided not to let it happen anymore. I started walking every day and riding my bike as often as I could. I also cut all of the extra sugar and fat out of my diet, only having it ocasionally. It really helped. Now, at 16, I weigh 127 lbs. It is a great feeling to be able to run and jump without feeling out of breath. It is also great to feel good about yourself. keep trying, and you can lose weight too.

I am 14 and weigh about 200-10 pounds. I need to know how to lose this holiday fat (i gained about 20 pounds since November, don't know how..) I cannot fit into the clothes we bought 2 weeks ago. EMBARASSING STORY ALERT! Have you ever ripped every seam and button off your favorite shirt? I was in a friend's room changing into my fav outfit- capri pants and a pink/blue camouflage shirt. My stomach was bulging out of my brand new capris already, so i chose the long top to try to cover it. Fat was rolling over the top, so I pulled them up higher. I went to put the shirt on, I noticed it was a little snug in the arms. When I went to button it, I thought my mom had shrunken the shirt because it didn't fit right. After buttoning all the buttons, I bent over to pick up my other clothes, the whole shirt burst into shreds with buttons flying! At the same time, my friend's twin sister walked in and thought i was a stranger. She knocked my unconscious without a shirt on. Then their snobby older sister came in and poked and prodded my stomach, which had made the zipper and button come undone. When i woke up, there was a note on my huge belly. "Lose weight, fat bitch! You made the house shake, and the ground sink. No wonder you can't fit into your clothes! I looked at your food records! 200 pounds is fat for your age! Go eat your 200 course meals!" I never went there again. I have since gained weight because of depression, and tried everything to keep it off, but just gain more. Now when I see Krystal in the halls she says "Boom, Boom, Boom. Here comes another earthquake!", "Baby wanna twinkie?", and "Jiggle Steph, Jiggle who? Jiggle Steph, Jiggle who?". ANOTHER STORY! Have you ever heard the parody of "thong song", "Please don't wear that thong"? I was at a pool party that I really didn't want to be @, but my crush was there so I went. We were all jamming to the "thong song", and he changed the song. All of a sudden we heard "Stephanie this is for you." I thought it was sweet, since he had been casually staring at me, and passing me sweet notes at school. "OOH, THAT DRESS TOO SMALL 4 U, LOOKS LIKE YOU GAINED ANOTHER POUND OR 2... YOU LIKE TO EAT AT ALL THE ICE CREAM SHOPS, THEN YOU CRUISE TO THE MALL FOR SOME DIPPIN DOTS... I HATE TO TELL YOU BUT I TOLDJA SO, BEEN WATCHING THAT TUMMY GROW... SHE HAD A BIG OL BUTT, BUTT, BUTT, THIGHS LIKA TRUCK (3X), BIG FAT GUT, PLEASE DON'T WEAR THAT THONG"... i burst into tears, and went home... eating in my depression 6 Zingers, 10 twinkies, and 50 packs of kit kats. HELP

Hey,I read your story about your ex-friend.shes not a friend at all.dont listen to them,there stupid and they need to get a life.when someone tells me that im fat i try to ignore them.i think its sooo stupid these days,people only look for your looks and not your personalty.when you get depressed,try not to eat bad foods.it only makes it worse.what i do when i get totally depressed is i eat apples cuz there nice and sweet but there good for you.just ignore thoes rude people.that dont even know you inside.im sure your a really nice girl.okay now what you need to do.this has been really working really good for me!and i heard alot of people are trying it.its the cutting in half thing.and drink lots of water.thats all i really have to say.i hope everything goes good for you in life.and tell thoes kids they need to grow up cuz it sure doesnt look like they have
