I'm...average.

not heavy,not thin. :D

Neither. I'm somewhere in the middle. I've never been slim, but then I'm not fat (out of shape yes, fat no.)

Sort of in between. Average I would say? But I have had a battle keeping it average since I turned 50!:mad:

So far so good!:)

I'm average. :D

uhhh

slim...

I think I'm fat, but people say I'm skinny. hm...

I'm really skinny. I've been the same weight since the 7th grade and I gain no more than 3 pounds before I lose it.

It's OK, I understand, waaaaay more fun living in self-pity of a problem you DON'T have, than simply realizing you're fine in that area. ;)

I'd say I'm average.

I'm 8lbs underweight according to my doctor, so I guess I'm gonna have to say 'slim'. :)

i'm H U G E ! ! ! !

i'm a fatass. i can't even look at myself in the mirror w/out getting nauseated. ewwwwww! i'm so sickening. even if i lost 100 pounds, i'd still be a cow! the scale doesn't even reach the number of my weight.

morganne, morganne, she's so fat... she don't know where the treadmill's at!!!!!!!!

i'm such a stupid, ugly, hideous pig. i should be taken outside and shot.

I was once overweight. In high school, I weighed over 300 lbs., but a knee injury - plus the deaths of John Candy and Chris Farley - forced me to rethink my lifestyle.

In the three years since I graduated, I've lost over 90 lbs. and am sitting comfortable at 6'4", 224 lbs.

I'm sorry to read this. I really am.

Are you still in school? Do you get picked on a lot?

Believe me, I know where you're coming from. I used to be very overweight. I thought I was hopeless; that I'd never shed the pounds, but after high school, I started a health program that was right for me and started exercising regularly. Within a year, I was at my ideal weight, and there I've stayed for two years now.

But please, don't give up the fight against being overweight. You're young! The sooner the better.

Here's some advice, though. DON'T DIET. Diets are a temporary solution, and you always wind up gaining more weight back than you lost.

Most importantly, smile. Keep your chin up at all times. A good attitude is vital to losing weight.

Best of luck.

P.S. Look what you made me do; you made me go an entire post without cracking a joke. I hope you're happy.

P.P.S. Yes, that's how I developed my sense of humor; by being the dude getting picked on all through high school. Sort of a defense.

P.P.P.S. Um... okay, I don't have a "P.P.P.S." I was just on a roll, and I didn't want to stop.

For real...? I'm doing a crash diet... I can't stand it anymore. I just can't. But if I don't eat for like, 4 months, won't I just get skinny? Will this work or am I killing myself for nothing?

Please, please, please don't crash diet - it is not healthy!!! It's the surest way to make yourself seriously ill!
When I was about 15 I was so miserable that I decided that if I was really, really thin then I'd be happy, so I went on a crash diet and basically starved myself for 12 months. I'm 5 6" and I ended up weighing just over 90lbs, I was tired and lifeless all the time, I was pale and my hands and feet were always cold. Eventually my mother dragged me to the doctor and he told me that if I didn't do something I was gonna have to be taken to hospital and treated for anorexia!
I put the weight back on eventually - I'm 112 now - but I still can't sit down and eat and enjoy a good meal like regular people because I'm still obessed with fat and calories and everything. Losing all that weight didn't make me happy, it just made things so much worse and I'm still feeling the repercussions even now. So please , don't go the same route I did!!!

Thanks for pointing that out! There are a lot of young girls here that need to know this! I have been battling the battle of the bulge successfully since I was in high school and have kept my weight down for years by eating sensibly and keeping active. I never achieved the "perfect" body(wehatever that is) nor will anyone else! Keep yourselves happy! and healthy!:talk:

Im about 5'3 and 101 pounds.5 pounds. I guess Im thin????:happyface

But there is no other way to lose it!! And Caitlin don't start with that "But your 90lbs!" crap because I do NOT look 90lbs! I find crashing the only way... everyone says "don't diet, you just gain" so um, what am I, stuck gaining weight the rest of my life? This is not working out.

Alright sorry I'm not trying to fight, I'm just so fed up because I cannot find a way!! Everytime I eat I throw everything up from making myself throw up so much [which I have stopped- for now] and I.. ugh this just isn't working. Can't I just starve myself? Won't it work? I mean you see these articles in magazines about anorexic people and they look all skinny... I mean sure they hadta go to a lot of doctors, maybe rehab, but they are so skinny.

I know I don't listen... and I got your reply. I just don't know what to do!! God damnit I wish all models died. They make me so jealous. They have like, the perfect figure, while the rest of us are all left to suffer..:rolleyes: It's just not fair.

*Sighs* K, I'm done. I won't bother anymore. (Haha, let's see if that lasts! DOUBT IT!) I don't know what else to do with you Hunnay! :rolleyes:

I'm a fatttie.... pick a number beween 119 and 121!!!

karli... listen to me... throwing up and starving is not the way. trust me, i've been there and done that and i know it's not worth it. u already know the hell i've been going through for the past 2 years cuz i told u about it, hoping that it would be incentive for u not to go down this dangerous path. but, apparently, it hasn't changed u for the better. ur fine just the way u are, hun. ur weight doesn't determine who u are. when u try to be perfect, u sacrifice the very body, mind and soul that allow u to live! and it's not worth it. ignore those magazines. those women are not perfect and real... they're fake and airbrushed! ignore society. don't chip away at who u are to conform to something u think ur supposed to be. and remember... we all lerb u for who u are! :)

Why do people who want to lose weight pick Not eating over Excercising?

exactly! I don't know why. I am slim because I play a lot of sports and eat healthy. I play basketball everyday and I run every day....try it, it's sooooooo much better than starving yourself and eat healthy, try not to eat as much junk food and stuff that's bad for you, stick to the healthy things. I know it sounds hard but it really isn't and it keeps you MUCH healthier. And as far as skinny people thinking they're fat, I hate that. and someone mentioned that anorexic (sp?) people may be ill but they are skinny ?!?! No offense meant to anyone but they look sick, they're skinny but they're TOO skinny. they aren't happy and they always have to have someone watching out for them and all these doctors telling them what to do all the time. Why would you want to do that to yourself?? so when it comes to weight, all I have to say is that if you're not happy with yourself, and you wanna lose weight, do it the healthy way. And be happy with who you are. :) ;)

Umm, yeah - I think I get what you're trying to say.

To answer your question - no, I don't have "everything wrong" with me. I used to be pretty messed up but I'm passed that stage in my life now. I just get scared when I hear girls talking the way that Lisa Whelchel Forever is. They seem to think that all life's problems will go away if they lose weight but it's just not true.

K good, LOL, I didn't want you to take it the wrong way.

Ummm... speaking from experiance, you dont want all of life's problems to go away you just want your body issues to go away... *shrugs* if you can get that.

I just think that Karli has shared enough "truth" on any boards and she just needs to keep stuff off of the boards if this is the respons ethat she gets and the anger that she gets from reading the responses.

Now ya know how it feels, huh, Caitlin?

Guys, we all want this MYTHICAL perfect body, which no one has, and people who are close are just as paranoid and think they're fat...our culture pays WAAAAAY too much attention to appearance. Being at a weight that you hear every model give as their weight won't make you happy and solve all your problems. Being 90 pounds won't your parents stop fighting, or keep that relative from dying, or make you successful or any of the other truly important things in life...being 90 pounds through some crash, starvation diet won't mean you never have to worry about weight again, it'll mean you're locked into a dangerous habit that could kill you...do what make sense and is natural: eat healthily, cut down on the junk, and exercise for at least 20 minutes 3 or more days a week. It won't be instantaneous like crash dieting, but it'll be a heck of a lot better for your body, which is what you want better right, not worse?

Right...LOL, sorry to be preaching and blunt, but anorexia, bohemia, and other weight loss related illnesses are waaaay too prevalent in our society, and they need to come to an end. People, be smart, don't end up dying of starvation, just because you think that being 90 pounds will will make you happy.

And guys, 120 is soooooo NOT fat, do you know how many people would die to be 120? Dude, 120 is like a beautiful number...LOL, seriously, peeps, dat's soo NOT fat... fat is when you are beyond a weight which is healthy for your height and body structure. I'm short (5/2) and small boned, I can't have too much fat on my bones or else I will pose a health risk against myself, but 120 is average and very healthy for most teenage girls.
