No no no Lydia. Don't do the diet pills. They hardly work and even if they do work a lot of them require you to actually eat a healthy diet as well.

The best thing to do is get some exercise. I know you said you had a wii fit so you should aim to go on that at least a couple of times and week. Also, you could go for a morning/evening walk with your ipod

And just try to eat as healthy as you can. Say you want a pizza, go for Italian base instead of deep pan or stuffed crust. They have weightwatchers meals in supermarkets that I sometimes get if I'm feeling healthy because then you know that what you're eating doesn't contain too much fat (although you should check the salt content of them too since some are really high in it)

But tbh though I've seen you on webcam and I don't think you're fat, you look about normal to me.

yeah i do have a wii fit and a dance mat, also i have a trampoline. i love walking, usually i do an hours walking a day, yet still i seem to not loose any weight. i dont really eat alot, i more tend to graze throughout the day than anything. i tend to skip brekkie in the morning too.

I find that when i dont eat properly..just pick at stuff all day i dont lose any weight. Its better to eat proper meals. Even if there small. Skipping breakfast will make you hungry and you will end up eating more!! If you eat brekkie it will get you through most of the day without picking at other food, then have dinner.

Your trampoline is the best way to exercise...(and so much fun!) A half an hour on the tramopline a day will help you lose weight.

But be careful...trying to lose too much weight will mess with your head. Eat and exercise properly and you'll stay healthy

Hey!

I just wanted to say that if you don't eat a lot then you're more than likely not to loose any weight because the food you do eat your body will keep. The best way is to work out a meal plan stick to it, and exercise the best you can. Its the most healthy way of loosing weight.
Also if you are not loosing weight it could be that you arrived at a weight plateau which I tend to find is a cut off point where your body is trying to say to you 'Stop, No more'

If you need any more advice I'll be happy to talk!

Take care

Hey there. When I went to college I felt that way too. I tried diet ppills, crazy diets, not eating, laxatives... EVERYTHING! I was really lucky not to really mess up my body. I started eating [Edited by Cas*: Removing numbers] a day. I had about [Edited] for breakfast. [Edited] for a snack around 10 or 11 AM. Maybe [Edited] for lunch at 12 or 1. [Edited] for a snack around 3, and then usually [Edited] for dinner in the evening. I exercised one hour on the elliptical and did weights 5 days a week and lost [Edited] pounds the first month. I have lost [Edited] pounds over the course of the year, although once I got into classes and my exercise and eating were less regular my weight loss slowed a bit. THat is what I recommend, especially now that it is summer time. I would also recommend eating healthy things without too many chemicals and writing down everything you put in your mouth. Drinking water with lemon is great too. If you do things the healthy way you will get results and they will last. Good Luck!

it makes me so sad when i hear people say things like this. losing weight isnt going to erase your problems. if you have an issue with self esteem than i dont think the weight loss is gonna fix it. a person with good self esteem is able to love themselves no matter what. its ok to want to lose weight but u shouldnt feel worthless because you're not a certain weight. if you want to lose, do it the right way. exercise and eat healthy. at the end of the day it should be about your health more than anything else.
