Hey,Miss!Why do you have to lose weight?

You're not fat?? Well, I AM. And I've tried lots of diet plans too BUT none of them succeeded. Grapefruit diet, banana diet, apple diet, no-rice diet. Well, I think one of them (grapefruit diet) BUT I didn't continue it anymore because it affects my stomachs acidity. So now, I started doing a 15-minute workout. Um, not actually a total body workout, just some sit-ups and weight lifting. Actually, losing weight will be a difficult task for me because I am hypothyroid (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hypothyroidism). Before, I have a normal weight, and now, I am OVERWEIGHT. And being that is very frustrating too. So now, I keep on searching some good diet plans to help me loose weight.

Although I have worried about my weight at times, I don't starve myself (at least not intentionally). Right now, I tend to eat less, but that is common in people going through chemotherapy. When I was 200 lbs, I did worry about it a lot more, but after my first cancer operation, I went down to 180. I am now down to under 160 (8 years after first cancer operation), but a lot of that was from eating more healthfully, especially during the years I was teaching in China. I do usually try to eat as much as I can tolerate daily even when I don't feel well. This has kept me from losing any weight and that keeps the doctor happy. Once I am done with treatment, I will try to do more in order to lose a few pounds, but I don't worry about my shape. I have never tried to "catch the attention of males" (or anyone else for that matter).

No me I'm in shape, round.I have never tried to lose weight and I never will! I eat a huge meal a day and snack when I get hungry again.

The way to lose weight is not to skip meals and such but to each a healthy diet. Eat five or six small snack type meals and drink alot of water. Fruit and vegetables and not fatty stuff. More walking and keep moving. Don't starve yourself and expect to lose.

I always make sure I'm eating at least 3 meals and 2 snacks because my body is precious and I can't torture it, making it suffer with those crash diets. But, the thing is that when I loose weight it's because my heart tells me that it's the right thing to do. It's not so much as being fat or not having that swim suit body it's more along the lines of being healthy. Making sure that you're cholesterol isn't too high or your blood pressure isn't too high or too low.

I don't do that, maybe for some female figure conscious. i don't want to get hungry and let my digestive system suffer just because i am catching up some figure that would please men. As long as i am healthy and my husband says i'm sexy i don't care if i eat a lot...

Never again my friend. I finally listened to my son and 3 years ago, though I was not fat, I was a terrible roller coaster dieter and at times use to starve to loose some weight. I could easily loose weight but not keep what I wanted off for too long. So I started to exercise at home five days a week for an hour on my bike, supplemented all sugared colas for lots of water, began to eat 3 - 4 meals a day, sensibly and in four months my metabolism raised so high that I lost a total of 70 pounds. I still exercise only but 30mins 3 days a week for cardio now because I cannot get any skinnier and still drink lots of water and 3 - 4 meals a day is a must. I will from time to time eat some not so great meals but can do so because of my continual maintaining of my high metabolism. Have been very successful now for 3 years. Consistency and change in eating habits is a must. I never thought it was possible and thought if I ate more then once a day I would get fat and doing all mentioned above worked for me.

Yes, we have to lose weight if we are over weighted. For me, I am in the standard range for medium size as a Chinese. We need to maintain a good weight so that we are healthier, happier, more impressive and more confident. For those who need to lose their weight, they must make up their mind to lose weight. Then only they can make it successfully. There are many methods among the people to lose their weight. From my understanding, some people tried to fast to lose their weight. Without eating for a long period, I don't think it is a healthy method. Consuming the available pills or herbal in the market to lose the weight, is a very dangerous and unwise attempt. There were many cases in my neighboring country, Singapore. By doing so, we are taking a risk to hurt ourselves. Some of them lost their kidneys and lives. If I need to lose my weight, I prefer to eat as normal with moderate foods and do more exercise. This is good to maintain sufficient nutrition to our body but without exceeding our daily need.

I don't have any problems with losing weight but i did have a problem with gaining weight. I bought expensive milk from GNC that didn't work at all. Bought some pills so that i can have a good appetite and eat a lot to gain weight but it didn't work. Even if i was pregnant with my son i still was skinny and in fact was under weight. I just have a fast metabolism. It was only about 4 years ago when I started gaining weight and i found out how to do that and that is to eat 5 or 6 times a day at exactly the same time daily. I gained a kilogram a week until i reached my desired weight. Now i did that not because I wanted to attract men but because I want to feel good about myself, to have more confidence and to easily find a dress that perfectly fits.

hi, actually i am slim now but i still do exercise because to health, i want to take good care of my health and body,and you're right girls do exercise to re-shape there body in goo so that they will be more beautiful in the eyes of men.

Why want to do it for men? Isn't our own health more important? I have never been on a diet before. I eat whatever I like, and luckily I am not fat, hehe! I only take 3 meals per day, so no supper for me. If you want to keep in shape, exercise is the best way. I don't believe in all those diet pills or diet coffee or whatever. Those are from people who want to make money out of you.

I'm always trying to lose weight but I fail.

Being a member of the feminine community, I can say that we do get obsessed in our quest for an "awesome" figure. It is our nature to want to always look good in the eyes of others. I had subjected myself to diet because of "health" issues. At the past, I am not too conscious with what I eat..I just pig in whenever there is food! LOL Kidding aside, as we all grow older we tend to develop certain health issues. And the only way to address that is to modify our lifestyle- eat healthy foods and proper diet. For me losing weight is not so much because of VAIN reasons mainly. I need to take care of my weight because I am not getting any younger and I don't wanna wake up one day in regret because I fail to take care of my body. Getting ill is mainly the result of us not taking of ourselves. That's my take on this issue. Have a nice day!

I often play basketball and table tennis,but I like the basketball best.Because on the one thing it often consume more calories ,and on the other thing,it often full of body,and can make many friends.

I have a hard time trying to lose weight. I am not obese but could stand to lose some weight and get in shape. I try to watch my food intake and do skip some meals but alot of times, itis hard to do that when I get hungry.

Hi,friend first I'm not a Miss..^^but my girlfriend now is on diet... she usually doesn't have supper,,like what you said,,she ate some fruit instead of it... but I'm worried about her health...I told her that if it's time to eat,then eat...if you eat much,then do some exercise...you put on weight in this way,then it's OK....The most important thing is healthy,isn't it...

I'm one of those lucky ones who maintain a healthy weight without having to diet. I've always eaten a variety of foods and stayed moderately active.

Im not a girl but I am a gym buff so here is my point of view. You are correct, being overweight does have its complication and it is usually an indicator of some diseases. This alone is a reason for you to be active and to loose weight. Aesthetics, some women use their figure to get attention and to get the man of their dreams. Although their motivation is not for health , they are becoming fit due to their actions. Loosing weight or becoming fit should is always a matter of choice. Should be fit to have curves or should you be fit to be healthy. Lastly , not all men go for sexy looking women. There are those that want their ladies to have some plumpness. Beauty is relative and you shouldn't be forced to loose weight because it is the norm. Just my two cents.

Single ladies like to be slim to be attractive to guys. Since they would want to have a relationship with guys, they'll try to look slim-sexy which majority of men like about women. Another, for me, it gives me confident when I am slim 'cause my sisters are. I'm becoming the shortest amongst my sisters and so being short, I would like to be slim inorder to compliment my height.

Hi oldsix691418,im just like you also,im trying to lose weight because im not satisfied w/my 122 lbs weight,im doing this because i wanted my clothes t fit me just right and by doing so we just ant to be physically fit and healthy not just in mind but also in body...:)
