Ht. 5'8", Start: 300 lb, Today: 300 lb, Goal: 180 lb - Ummmm not trying to be funny......but i feel horrible. Being black doesnt help the fact that i want to loose weight,cause my white friends told me "it shouldn't matter youre BLACK! YOU ALL dont seem to care!!!! " I was sooooo upset OMG....does anyone else feel that way? if you do please respond

Girl you should of fought dat person for sayin dat cause dat they probably wutnt picture perfect theirself forget da world when it comes to wut u tryin to do look if losin weight iz one of your priorityz then ok but if it aint still ok long az you got like a live personality then you str8t. But forreal tho dat person wutnt rite for sayin dat so you should stop callin them a friend and cut them short real quick! I'll be your friend anyday. Thank You for your time GOODBYE!!! P.S.~Im BLACK too and I wish somebody would have said that too me it would have been a WRAP!!! Although Im from Detroit, MI and Im 107.2 lbs. But people already kno if they have any negative comments KEEP THEM TO THEIR SELF!!!!!

Gurl that's exactly what happened and is still happening to me. 2 yrs ago, I went to an all white school and all my friends were skinny as a stick (literally)but they would make sneaky rude remarks abt how big and thick I was and saying that "All black ppl are like that so technacally it's not fully your fault ur big". Well when i heard that at first, i let it slide but the rude comments kept going so I stop being their friends and made new friends who didn't care about my weight.I moved out-of state 1 month later b/c my mom's job and ppl are still rude to me but this summer i'm trying to work my butt off so when I get thinner, they'll regret they ever said those remarks abt me. All you should do is ignore them until you get to your goal so they'll be jealous of you and they won't talk abt you anymore.If you keep listening to their rude remarks,you'll lose focus on your goal and you'll give up. Well Good Luck!!! Just be patient :)

omg, that is soo rude! it soo does not mean you don't care, everyone has they're own personality, no matter what color you are, maybe some people are ok w/ being overweight, but that's just their personality, just ignore them, thry aren't your real friends if they would say that to you
