I don't want to be attractive.
I am finding it easier to be overweight.... easier when I was 30 lb heavier. The more weight I lose, as I become closer to the top range of healthy, I am getting more and more uncomfortable. Part of me wants to be thin and nice looking, but part of me is embarrassed. I have a very curvy shape that is getting revealed and I…

Women weighing more than men?
Hello, I'm 5 ft 4 and I have a large frame size. I am overweight right now, but when I reach 140 lb, the BMI charts and height-weight charts say it is healthy to be anywhere from 140, 130, 120. Because of my large frame, I put myself at the higher end by my estimates. And yet, there are lots of men who weigh less than that…

Piece of **** family..... :'(
Hello everyone, Lately, I've been getting really upset by my family's comments around me. (This is gonna be long.) First off, my sister and brother sometimes degrade fat or obese people. They talk about people they used to know and how they are now fat. They say it as if to say "Because those old high school peers are fat…

HELP!!!
Guys, I am very frantic and panicked right now. I have lost about 17 lb so far. Somehow, I managed to reel in my eating during that time. Eating has always been the biggest obstacle for me. Now, however, my appetite has returned to the state it was before, back when I felt that I couldn't reel it in and lose weight. I…

Weight loss OCD
Hello, I'm doing okay with my weight loss right now. It's slow but steady. The problem is that I sometimes get really frequent OCD that I can't help but to indulge, and it's related to weight loss. I will feel the urge to sit down and write out all the numbers of lb's for my weight loss. I start with my highest weight and…

Face changes?
Hey guys, I've lost about 15 lb total from my highest weight so far. Just recently I thought I noticed a dimple appearing on one side of my face. Then my mom pointed it out to me, too, so I guess some fat is coming off my face. So what kind of facial changes have you been seeing in your weight loss so far? Dimples? More…

Confused
Hello, I've always been a compulsive over-eater since childhood. That's how I slowly gained all my extra weight. Over the past few years, since I've started trying to control it and lose weight, I see just how much power it has over me, just how hard it is for me to break. Up until a week or so ago, I'd been having huge…

Is this a suspicious incident?
Hey everyone, I need to ask a question about something that happened the other day that is sort of not-so-fitness related. It's a little strange and random, but here it goes. It's a very long story so bear with me. Every night my Mom and I go walking for exercise around the same time after supper, around 6:30-7:30. We go…

1/2 pound a week weight loss
Hey guys, I am on a 500 calorie daily deficit in order to lose weight at a rate of a pound a week. I was just wondering, has anyone lost weight at a rate of a half a pound? How is that? I know it would be quite slow, but all the weight still comes off eventually right? I was just wondering because sometimes I struggle and…

Hypoglycemia?
Hey everyone, I've been having a problem when I exercise. Whenever I go for my nightly brisk walk, I get extremely weak, tired, and hungry by the end of it. My legs feel very weak and clumsy and sometimes my hands shake. I think this is hypoglycemia. How do I stop this from happening or treat it once it happens? Would a…

Body Frame Size?
Hello everyone, How come some people have a more rounded shape when they are overweight, like an apple, then when they lose the weight they have a small, petite frame? Sometimes they look as though they never had any extra weight. Do these people have small frames? Conversely, why are others more shapely and rectangular…

Obsessive calorie counting
Hello, I often find myself counting calories in order to make sure I don't overeat. However, I get so wound up and obsessed over all of it. I find myself recounting the calories over and over at different intervals throughout the day, after each meal, etc. I go over everything I've eaten over and over, too. I think I…
