I agree with you!  Congrats by the way!  My impression is that these camps offer emotional as well as physical support!

I'm guessing you don't exercise much, or you haven't in a while.  If you haven't exercised, your body has very little muscle, which burns calories 24-7.  Sometimes that doesn't matter, but at some point your body slows down.  Sometimes it's when you get a job, or a car, and you are sitting a lot more.and any excess weight is \n\nYour body slowly started losing muscle. For a while, it didn't make too much difference. But now your body doesn't have enough muscle to burn off what you are eating, so your body can't do anything but store it as a pot belly.

You're really, really bored, aren't you?  I'm rather shocked at people who are taking you seriously.  In my humble opinion, you are severely underweight.  At your height, you should not weigh less than 350.  Eat up, snookums!

Your weight does not seem to be high but it is understandable for anyone to want to look better. Best thing to do is to work out and start eating healthier. You shouldn't worry so much about your weight and worry more about how you look and how healthy you are. There are some people who weigh 80 pounds but are nothing but 80 pounds of fat; and yet others weigh 200 but are 200 pounds of muscle.\nIf you work out you may look thinner but be gaining weight this is because muscle weighs more than fat. Don't worry about your weight worry about your health. These are secrets which keep me fit and healthy.\n\nTry to follow the food pyramid...its on the back of most cereal boxes. If you follow this you will realize you will be eating less because when you need to eat 6 servings of fruit you get filled pretty quick.\n\nAlso follow serving sizes on packages. If it says one serving is 4 cookies you should eat 4 cookies.\n\nWork out. Get a personal trainer. Or ask someone who knows what they are doing. Don't strain yourself because that is always worse.\n\nAnd try to give yourself a little leeway. If you want an extra cookie, and extra fruit give it to yourself. If your still hungry always eat. If your hungry it is because your body needs it.\n\nLies like carbs being bad for you is not true. Humans need carbs to function. Especially for brain power. You don't want to be a beautiful retard right!...You just need to do everything in moderation. Remember don't drink alcohol either because those drinks are not necessary and add to excess fat.\n\nRemember your health should always be a priority. Imagine if the person closest to you were to become very sick. It's always scary when our lives are in danger so don't put your own in danger.\n\nStay healthy!

My friend lost about 70 in that amount of time, but she was seriously stressed out (ended a long term relationship) and it was from the stress.  She has maintained the loss though and looks great.  She weighs about 120 now.

I used to be 95 pounds that was way to skinny. I put on weigt and weigh around 125 and I get checked out by guys a lot more now. Hollywood is stupid more and more of them are getting way too skinny. 123 pounds isn't fat unless you are 3ft tall.

Probably not.  But the reason alot of people have a hard time losing weight is becasue they have a lot of parasites (everyone has them you know) and their intestines are all clogged up.  So go to drnatura.com or something like that and check out their stuff along with the testimonials.  My girlfriend got it about 8 months ago and not only did it make her feel better but since then she's lost like 39 pounds so maybe this is what you need.  And either way, good luck and good for you in wanting to be healthier and more fit!  Just don't go extreme and make yourself sick.  Promise me you won't do that!  Pretty please?  Thanks!  And hey, no matter how much you weigh you're still a beautiful, special person.  May Peace Be With You.

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.

If you want to waste your money then send it to me. Don’t fall into the trap that most of  American is in, which is, NO FAT, NO CARBS, DIET PILL, everyone who goes down that road never really gets into shape, it is just an evil trick. You see most of the weight they actually loose is in the form of muscle which is much heavier than fat.\n\nJust get on a good diet with all the good fats and carbs and exercise. You will loose weight and keep it off this way.\n\nAdditional comment:\nI see you re-posted this question and bashed us. I for one am nowhere near fat, sorry that my and the others opinions offended your sorry  butt

It might sound weird, but maybe you're not eating enough. You're doing a lot of exercise and burning a lot of calories, which is AWESOME. I know that in order for me to lose weight when I exercise a lot, I have to eat my activity points (on Weight Watchers). I've lost 50 pounds on it. I hit a plateau as soon as I lost 20 pounds as started exercising. I couldn't understand it...why am I exercising like crazy and not losing weight? I started eating my activity points and the weight just started dropping off. I mean, like, instantly. I lost about 8 pounds in two weeks once I started eating a little more each day that I worked out. I think it has to do with your body going into a starvation mode because it's losing so many calories. If you have any other questions about it, I suggest you check out the LJ forum that I post on. It's full of helpful weight loss tips. Here's the link... http://community.livejournal.com/_weightwatchers/ Good luck! :)

Its a matter of perception.  Diet and exercise plans are all good.  Its a matter of finding one that works best for you.  I am 5'7' and 215.  I'm fine with my weight although some days I feel like a hippo.  The first thing to do is to convince yourself you are fine the way you are.  Yes, you want to change, but you are beautiful right this very moment.  You are not fixing yourself you are improving what's already fixed.  I did the low carb thing for a while and lost some weight but had trouble keeping it off.  When I'm in a hurry I'll throw back a slim fast.  But mostly I stick to the six small meals a day.  I don't feel hungry and I control my portions.  If you are out of shape running is just going to make you lose interest.  Try walking first till your body gets used to the exertion.  \n\nThere is no such thing targeted weight loss. If you  are a little annoyed with thick thighs (like me) you can't focus just on those.  YOur body will lose fat where ever it wants.

Maybe try to watch what you eat, or if u have alot of money take 1 of those diet classes.....or work out because if u work out then its ok to eat like a pig, a friend of mine eats so much but then he works out and nothings wrong with him

I've actually had a similar situation.  I used to weigh about 30 lbs. more than I do now.  And everyone who knew me then tells me I am so skinny now...too skinny.  I'm 5'5" & 135 lbs!  I'm perfectly healthy.  I guess some people just look better "thicker"  I also got a lot more attention from the opposite sex when I was heavier.  As long as you're healthy & happy, don't worry about what other people think!\n\np.s. your "friend" is a jerk for saying that!

You could have a lot of mucle, but I know that when I weighed 200 pounds when I was 12 years old, although I didn't look like I weighed that much, it was still an unhealthy weight. It depends on how tall a person is and if he or she excercises and eats right, too. If you don't excercise, then chances are that it's not muscle and it is fat... If you really want the right answer, ask a docter. Now I weigh under 125 pounds and I was suprised at how much of that weight I lost really was fat... The main thing that matters is if you are healthy and can move around normally.

Get rid of fast food and pop especially. You can live without those. Only eat sugary and fatty foods on rare occasions. Eat lots of the right food, like fruits, protiens, vegatables, and stuff like that. Drink lots of water. And most important, get lots of exercise. People don't want to believe it or something, but exercise is the way to lose weight, not dieting. I mean, I ate donughts every day at camp but still lost weight from running around every day:)

You're only fat if you think you're fat.  If you're happey the way you are now then don't do anything about it.  People should just live there lives happy and not cair what other people think about them.\n\nIf you don't like that answer go see a doctor and ask him what he thinks.

Are your friends maybe concerned because you lost all that weight in a very short ammount of time? maybe they are questioning how healthy it is for you. If you yourself are concerned that your out of control then maybe let your docter know how your dieting has come along and let he or she be the judge
