i am so tired of hearing people ask about weight loss. they are just trying to get in shape for the summer. well that should be done earlier; no that should be done all the time! i worked my butt off to be cut up and now im just sick of hearing fatasses tryin to get a lose-weight-fast solution. sorry, that aint gonna happen. being fit is suposta be a way of life, not something you try to squeeze in before the summer. is anyone with me, is anybody else sick of this crap?

Not everyone is looking for a quick fix. I'm fat and looking to change my life now.  I need motivation and hearing from others is a good way to start.  These ppl do have the wrong idea thinking they can lose weight quickly but you shouldn't put them down. Instead you should give them advice since you exercise regularly and understand what it is to have a balanced diet.  Don't pity us but don't put us down either.

I am 54 yo and have been skinny all my life no matter how much I eat.  People used to say things like that to me all the time.  Over time I learned to ignore them.  If you are healthy and feel good just be happy and ignore stupid people.

I'm not happy!  I had two kids one right after the other...my personal choice.  But now I'm stuck with all this weight!  I am happy with other things like my hair, skin tone, no wrinkles, etc.  But I'm unhappy about my weight.  I went from a 6 to a -- size and I hate it! \n\nHowever, I am working to fix it and I've gone back to my kickboxing classes and I'm beginning to lose weight.  Eventually, I can be happy with myself again.  Can't be unhappy with myself all the time now can I?

No, it's lazy and it's dangerous. If you really want to lose weight do it the proper way. People die because of stomach stapling, they claim all they want is to be thin - but apparently not enough to get out of their reinforced chair and do some exercise once in a while.

Haha, this question severely entertained me...lol! Like you previously mentioned, I think its a combination of reasons. But I think the main reason is because people are desperate when it comes to losing weight, but they want the "quick and easy" way to do it. Unfortuntely, there is no way of losing weight that is "easy," but people still have a hope that some individual is blessed with some other worldy or divine knowledge of the "secret" of weight loss...perhaps somebody out there in YAHOO land truly does possess this power...But until the coming of the Weight-Loss Messiah, people with weight problems will just have to continue to post their desperate pleas for help..lol

Lmao.  I know exactly what you're talking about.  These are the same people going to the gym to do the 15 minute once a week no sweat fat loss programs they read about in their garbage fitness magazines.

Hi! This is Sandra,  Im sorry you are having such a tough time  But I have to tell ya straight up and out STOP IT  can u imagine what u are going to turn into?  Now its only 70lbs think about the future, the way you feel when its time to get dressed for a function or heck just to go to the store  Large people have a hard time dressing not to mention all the health issues that are gonna appear  I believe if when your thinking about food you need to distract yourself  "PRAY" do something  nobody can do it for you  but I do know that there are many people that feel your pain  The only way I can lose weight is to starve my self and I dont recommend it, its very bad for your body  You have to kick that bad "HABIT"  to the curb "YOU" must change your ways or be a fatso  that is the cold hard truth  Get some friends or loved ones to promote you and make a commitment to yourself and your health   k  GOOD LUCK

Remember when considering any of the "quick and easy" weight loss diet pill suggestions... if something sounds too good to be true... it probably is, particularly if you have to pay for it.\n\nYou are welcome to look at my 360 Blog of September 10 if you want some aggressive but realistic suggestions for improving fitness.\n\nAloha

With all the crap going on in the world... you are worried about a few pounds. Give me a break. If nobody else is complaining, you shouldn't.

abc01234589\n1 week ago\n\n5 day(s) left for voting. \n\nReport Abuse\n\n am i a WHORE?\nthis one hot guy in the city once paid me $400 for a night of crunches. me and him did partner-crunches for 14 straight hours without a break, and that is how i got my abs. is this a whore-ful thing to do? it was 6 weeks ago, he was 17 and i am 22.<<\n\nSo, you're 22, and you have an 11 year old daughter. Wow, that's amazing. You've just been exposed for the attention-seeking freak you are. Now, go away.

No, that is not true. Fat people dont want to be fat. It could be hormonal, it could be metabolism or whatever. Its like telling an autistic kid that he is not reading or concentrating enough, and thats what makes him autistic. Obesity really is a medical issue. Its not as easy as starving yourself or running everyday. \nIt is harderer for some to lose wt than the others. You can critize the policy to hand out money to these guys, but calling them lazy isnt fair... ITS SHALLOW!!

I highly doubt that they get some use out of it. I'll bet the answers do help them out. But usually people who are out of shape and are looking for guidance need more than help with their weight. Most people that are dealing with weight also have to deal with depression and other symptoms. In order for them to complete this goal of weight loss I beleive they need to treat the one with the other. When this is done, then results can be made. \n\nIf your happy and motivated you can do anything. But if your depressed and over-weight, how can you possibly deal with your weight in that state of mind.

I agree, weight is not as important as fitness and health.  People can have a low weight and look bigger because they have flab, or have a higher weight and look great because it's all muscle.

yes, I think everyone feels that way at one time or another. It's really hard because the media pushes everyone to be perfect looking (skinny, extra beautiful, perfect hair and skin). I feel that way sometimes, but I just have to accept how God made me. Besides, if everyone looked the same, it'd be boring. That doesn't mean that if you are fat(not saying you are) that you shouldn't do something about it. Just do your best to exercise and eat right, and just like yourself the way you are.

Wow, I realize obesity isn't healthy.  I realize it's not 'even popular'.. in fact I'll go so far as to say that 'obese people are hated' by those who 'feel they are being responsible with their bodies'.  It's very funny, how INTOLERANT this country has become, and while I have my own faults, and when I recognize them, I try to rectify my views if they are at all offensive to a particular race, sexual preferance or even if it's a matter of size/weight.  \n\nI sure hope all you 'thin' people live a really long, life, so that you can sit back and stand on your podiums about how 'righteous you were' about it all.\n\nFunny thing is..... HEADS UP - GENETICS do play a part.. and even the most dedicated athletes that have not used steriods, run every day or whatehaveyou, still drop dead from heart disease.  So instead of throwing stones at obese people, perhsps it would be in your best interest not to be so narrow minded and realize that while yes .. MOST have poor diets, MOST do not exercise enough, but MANY have genetic issues or medical issues (Hypothyroid which regulates metabolism along with many other body processes), might have legitimate reasons for 'being overweight.  What about those that are trying to get their weight off?\n\nNevermind, I know I just read that statement.... How much fatter can we get, before we die by the masses.... the answer?  How many lives will vitamin overdoses, over execiszing, not enough hydration, steroids take from the 'so called - healthy - appearing population?  Let's not forget the anorexics and bulemics that are in part the way they are because of this EXACT intolerance toward ANY Difference.  \n\nOhhhhhh you want to be able to be different, but only 'according to your rules'?  Good luck to you then, because someone will find a way to slam you for your lifestyle, problems or choices and basically insinuate that you are a <blank> insert whatever word that applies to any problems you have.  \n\nAll I can say is, I pray for your soul... may you find tolerance and acceptance for ALL people and instead of 'lumping them together', take the time to find out why - choose to be this way or that way, and do your best not to spread this kind of flaming 'hate' across any public medium.  Because no matter how thin, fit, gorgeous, talented you are???? This post just made you look like a big jack A$$!

i wish that people would stop and think about everything that they are losing out on just because they think they are fat. i have been fat my whole life. i used to dread meeting new people because i was afraid of what they were thinking of me, now i could care less. there are way way bigger people in this world out there then 150 pounds. if you came up to me in person and said that you think you are fat i would laugh in your face. ill tell you what, you want me to send you a picture of some of my family members? i have an aunt that is close to 400 pound. and a cousin that is 330. and i aint no skinny minny myself. what you have to do is except yourself for what and who you are. if you dont like it then you should cut back on calories or lose it the right way because the ways that you are trying will work and then you will gain all of the weight back. and my mother used to be bulimic--she had dentures by age 24.
