I’m 15, female, 5’11 and 215 lbs. I don’t eat EXTREMELY healthily but i haven’t seen fast food in months, the occasional slice of cake or bowl of ramen noodles are the worst things i can think of that i eat, other than that fruits, vegetables, and a healthy amount of protein everyday. Same with exercise, i don’t work out on a regular basis but i live on a stables, so i ride horses and get more than 2 miles of walking everyday just bringing them to and from the pastures, so why is it then, that i’m still fat? I know i’m tall but i still have a gut and you could carve an average 15 yr old kid from my thighs, it’s disgusting. I’ve tried dieting but the most i’d ever lose is 10 maybe 15 lbs and then i’d stop losing any, i’d still keep with my diet though, but after 3 or 4 months of no change, who could blame me for stopping? Also, i have a slightly irregular heart beat so i can’t exactly go to the gym and work out for two hours, a half an hour on the treadmill at a jog is all i can stand, otherwise i’d literally pass out from not enough blood reaching my brain, it’s happened before, from when i tried to exercise more consistently. Am i just forever doomed to be overweight? Or is there some kind of tip i’m totally missing the memo on? I know im still young, and my weight may even out as i get older, but for those of you who have gone through or are still in high school, you know how tough it can be, and pressure for drugs and alcohol is bad enough, but i also have to deal with constant criticisms of my size. Really if i could just get and hold my weight to 180 i would be bouncing off the walls in joy, can anyone help me get there? Or at least give me some advice on starting down the right road?
Also, please, I appreciate the kind comments, but i don’t want to hear the “You’re perfect just the way you are!” speech, I want help, not lies.
I’m not going to say my weight but lets just say it’s above 250.
I’ve been this way most of my life,
but i’m tired of it.
I wear a jacket everyday to school,
in hot weather because i’m too unconfident to walk down a hallway without one.
I love fashion,
but cant wear what I want because it either doesn’t come in my size,
or it looks terrible on me.
And today I had a terrible day,
it seemed no matter where I went,
I was shunned for my weight,
even by friends.
I had a kid sit by me on the bus, and say “ew”.
I felt like a waste of space.
Normally I’m very confident emotionally,
but I just lost it the second I go home.
So anyways,
what are some things I can eat that will help me to be healthier?
If you’re dieting, please give me some tips.
Thanks ._.
Recently, my boyfriend has moved in with my family (Dad, three little brothers, and myself). My dad and brothers are not the healthiest of people, we as a family eat a lot of junk food and my dad and brothers eat that plus fast food 4 or 5 times a week (i need an answer other than ‘cut out fast food’ because thats a given!) lol Anyway, back to my boyfriend. He is a senior in high school and needs to cut down weight because his plan is to go into the airforce right after he graduates. A few months back he was saying how he needed to lose around 50 lbs by that time to be able to go to basic training. He has kept putting it off and putting it off and now here we are, almost November with not a lot to show for it. He goes running every now and then (he claimed he NEEDED an ipod or mp3 to be more motivated while he runs so he will go further… so we got him an ipod, there goes that excuse!) I feel like he looked a little slimmer at one point but im afriad he has gained it right back….
He is in shape, just needs to cut down pounds fast! Its not like he’s some fat kid that can’t run…
What i need to know is:
-How can i make him man up and get this done! (i know ‘i cant make him do it’ & ‘i cant do it for him”… need better answers)
-I’m cleaning out my family’s kitchen! No more swiss cake rolls! What kind of foods should i buy for him?
-I feel like i could help him better if there was a certain diet i was concentrating on. like rules i could follow and certain foods i can keep him away from and vertain foods i should make him eat.
-if you can give me a certain diet, i need meal ideas (easy, please!) that i can cook for him and my family.
-does anyone have a good daily schedule that works well for them? I drive him to school in the mornings and he needs to be showered and ready to leave by about 6:50. & 3 or 4 times a week he works in the after noon, about 3:45 to 9:00pm average…
-anyother diet tips, planning meal tips, schedule tips or ANYTHING else?
I know this is rather long and out of order and looks like chaos, but i am very upset right now and need to get this thing moving for not only his future, but also OUR future. He will be proposing sometime next month…. i dont want to marry someone if i feel like they cant ‘take care’ of me, pursay…
thank you!
Julia- wowwww after i clearly said, so do not tell me i cant make him lose the weight, im not stupid. and after i CLEARLY stated he is going into the airforce… thanksss…..
& what is he going to do when were married??? hmmmm…. be in the airforce???? (: be a husband…. uhmmmm stupid question.
I don’t know how long ago, but quite some time ago I became quite chubby. People I haven’t talked to in a few years remember me as “that chubby nerdy kid.” I’m 5’5″ (about) and weigh somewhere near 143 lbs. My weight is really distributed around my stomach, my thighs, and I have dreadfully acquired man boobs. I have tried for at least two years to try to lose weight. Many a time have I come up with an exercise routine and a good diet plan. Whenever I put these into action, I stay on them for around a week or two. Then I begin eating whatever I want again, and laze around all day long. I am asking right now because I realized this is serious. My mom as diabetes type 2 and my uncle went into the hospital today because of heart failure. The heart failure was caused by his weight. My brother is in similar shape and sheerly refuses to be compared to my uncle, saying he’ll be fine because “it hasn’t happened yet.” I’m worried for my health, my uncle’s health, and my brother’s health. I am not near their weights, or anywhere close, but still. Also, something that makes more sense to a guy my age, I have a new girlfriend who is a lot thinner than me… and I appeal to her emotionally and socially, but I doubt physically. If I ask, she says “don’t worry, I think you look nice” but I don’t care. I want to look and be healthier. After I have lost my flab, I also want to start building muscle. Lately I have been eating a lot less, though, for seemingly no reason at all. About a month ago, I was slightly over 150, but now I’ve dropped to 143.
Basically, how can I get into the habit of exercising regularly? I believe I’m getting into a good diet on my own accord, but any tips on that would help too.
And help me get off of Facebook!! Argh. My friend and my best friend’s sister both comment on how I’m on all the time, and that’s because I basically am, sadly. The only time I’m not is if I’m with friends.
Weight worries for mothers-to-be

I’ve been skinny for my entire life, but lately it’s just become too irritating.
I’m 21 years old, 5’5″ tall and barely weigh 105 pounds. When I was a kid, it didn’t really matter as much, but now, being this skinny is just plain embarrassing.
Basically, I look borderline anorexic, which I’m absolutely not.
I have a healthy appetite and sometimes I eat even more than people with average or above average weight.
Both of my parents are rather slender, themselves. My mom used to be about as skinny as I am, until she had me, and ever since then she’s been maintaining a practically ideal weight.
Since having a kid is obviously not an option for me at the moment, does anyone know how to pack on 10-15 pounds?
Building muscle isn’t really helpful, because I do yoga, fitness and swimming, so my muscles are already toned and I got that issue pretty much covered.
Any tips on specific kinds of food to gain weight fast?
I’ve tried binging on junk food for a couple of months-didn’t get any results, sadly.
