Nicole don't worry, I am overweight too and I am depressed sometimes but if you stay depressed you won't lose the weight needed because you are too worried. You have to pace yourself do activities that make you feel comftable but don't over work yourself. Even though I hate my weight I love myself enough to try to lose the weight. I was overweight since I was 10 and still am today, all because of one little thing DEPRESSION, and I need to learn to overcome that feeling so I can overcome the fear of being overweight. All you need to do is relax and pace yourself, and you can make it....If you have any questions email me at: tiella16@hotmail.com

she is definetly ana, i am 5'0 80 pounds, my bmi (basal metabolism weight) is underweight and she sounds alot thinner than i am. I have a friend who is anorexic and her boyfriend, to get her to stop, gave up eating and then my friend was really upset and tried to make him eat again and he said the only way he would was if she did. it sounds drastic but it might help her realize how much she is hurting you. If nothing else works give it a try.

hey,
being 5'8 and 140-145 or whatever, you are perfectly healthy. You will find over the next few years, hopefully sooner than later, that you have so much more to offer the world than your weight...what you focus on is not what other people see--what other people see and appreciate are the smiles, the warmth you radiate, the authenticness of all your feelings--good and down, angry and elated--just try for me, for a couple of days to say to yourself "My body is created for this moment, I am created to live in this moment, my life is in this moment." Living in weight sucks, I've wasted my last 5 years there and I've lost a lot of friends and loved ones because I refused to look at myself the way the looked at me. Read Reviving Ophelia, by Mary Pipher--maybe you're too young, or lacking the perspective to appreciate it all now--but it will make things clearer as you go.

Hey galz and guyz! I'm very proud to say that i'm starting my diet Monday the 20th. Everyday I'm gonna write what I eat and exercise. By the way does anyone out there know some exercises that take the fat right off????Anyways, even though i sound really confident, I'm not. I was wonderin if anyone was out there that would be intrested in being my weight loss buddy. If some of u guyz don't know what that is, its someone who i can talk back and forth with as we support each other. P.S. I forgot to tell u that I'm bout 180lbs and 5'7" and my goal is 135lbs

Hey! You know im not the skinniest girl in school, nor the biggest but still have gotten names called, (im 15 147lbs.) anyways! i heard a quote which is awesome! "no one can make you feel inferior without your consent" for the younger crowd that means no one can make you feel down or bad without your willing to listen or take it in! Dont let people get to you..you are beautiful and handsome no matter how big or small you are!!!!!

i think you must have gained muscle, because muscle weighs more than fat-which would explain the scales, and muscle looks better and being fit makes you feel better-which explains the rest
