Hey! My name is Amber and I just found this board tonight...I'm hoping that you guys can help...I'm 5'7" and weigh 295 pounds...I have tried just about everything....I'm tired of not having any real friends or a boyfriend to do things with because I am overweight....I mean, I go to hockey games with my mom and everything, and she tries to help, but sometimes having someone your age really makes a big difference...If you guys have any ideas, or just want to chat, you can email me at scoot88@fbcom.net

Hi my name is Tara i am 15 and i know how it feels to be oveweight and not have any friends or boyfriends. I i about 5'7 and a half and i am 232 pounds. I have tried every diet in the book just about my mom took me to a weight doctor and he told me i wasn't fat and i just wanted to tell him to shove it! But everyday when i got to school i get made fun of either by someone smaller or someone bigger than me. I felt confident with my slef till about 1 week ago when this guy i liked asked me out and then he and his friends took me to a resturant and were throwing french fries at me. if you want to chat sometyme it would be great to have a friend that feels the same way i do!

Hi Amber! I'm Rachel... and I'm also 5'7" and 290-ish pounds. I know exactly how you feel. I'm always tempted to overeat and I'm almost never satisfied. I'll do just about anything to lose weight, I just wish I had the answer! I'd really love to dance but I know I'd get made fun of in a dance class. For a while I was learning ballet at home, just with video tapes and such, but I got bored with that fast (even though I would love to take ballet once I lose weight!). I'm thinking about trying tap dance now. It's a great way to exercise.. and I could buy videos on Ebay or just check them out at the library. But anyway, I would love to talk with you some time! I've never met anyone my age that is remotely close to my size, so maybe we can help each other. Thanks for posting here! I'm so glad I found you!
Rachel
P.S- I'll email this to you also just in case you don't read this here. This is my first time to this website... and it doesn't seem very active.
