WHOA- that is a touchy subject for you. I personally have lost 143 lbs and fell great so I know how you feel about wanting to help others, I do it all the time. Sometimes they are thankful and sometimes they are resentful. Take it easy with her. Like you-nobody else can motivate her. SHE is the only person that can do that. One day she will see a picture, try on a pair of jeans or an old dress and make a decision that she is tired of it. In the meantime you stay on track and set the example for her both foodwise and exercise. She will eventually follow suit because on the inside the jealousy will eat her up. CONGRATULATIONS TO YOU!!!!!!! Keep up the good work!

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.

The goal's not to be real thin but to feel great about yourself and look healthy. Maybe you should just eat a healthy diet.

i would advise you not to try to lose weight in such a short period of time--you'll only end up getting yourself sick.how "big" are you anyway? if your mom thinks you're normal maybe you are!

You're fat, that's not enough? Stand in front of the mirror naked, butt naked, if that is not enough inspiration. Try looking at your kids if you stay overweight then you will die. Look at the boyfriend or husband they will leave you for some skinny barbie doll beetch if you don't lose weight

Well eventually if we live long enough old age gets us all. You seem concerned that your Mommy is overweight -180 lbs and she is 5'5"  although that is quite a bit of weight  she can still be healthy. You state that she exercises a lot and has  a lot of muscle-muscles actually weigh more than fat  . You also say she is active.  which is very good.  I wouldn't worry too much for as long as she is active and has a lot of muscle she'll be just fine.You do not give your age but it would probably be fun if you and your Mommmy  had some quality time where you two exercised together for you could be learning  now a healthy life style and I bet you get the benefit of your Mommy being active for active Mommys do things that are fun/active with their children. Relax-besides you are a kid  and not responsible for your Mommy-she is responsible for herself and sounds like she is taking care of herself. If her weight really worries you more than it should talk to your Mommy and explain how you feel  for there are many things that make a person unhealthy , not just weight.

I'm sorry and I don't mean to be mean but your first qualification is that she's drop dead gorgeous yet you say that your 400 lbs which means that you obviously aren't that concerned about your own appearance. \nI would never want someone to judge me only on my appearance whether I was gorgeous or overweight.  That may be the reason you've been waiting for 42 years, time to change your priorities.

I would beg to differ with this statement.  I have a very high sex drive.  and I am anything but thin...I tease my husband that he is the woman and I am the man in our sexual relationship...

I used to be teased also when I was younger and struggled with my weight and its really hard especially when it comes from your own family! Now being older I realise noone else is going to do it for me...I have to deal with it and I'll show them but in a healthy way. People like to critisize without giving you any advice even family members sometimes, maybe they have insecurities they are covering by putting the focus on your insecurities and really your family should be the role models and foundation for your well being growing up in the first place! If you are worried and want to lose weight so you can lead a healthy and happy life then do it for yourself. Do you have a good doctor you can talk to and they will be very matter a fact with you and let you know from a medical point of you if you need to lose weight or not. I really enjoy pumping the music up and putting an aerobics dvd on or getting my mp3 and going for a walk. It lifts my mood while Im gettting fit and know Im doing it because I deserve it!

Don't tell her you think she's fat.  Tell her you are uncomfortable at your weight and that you want her to exercise with you because you want to spend more time with her.   If  she mentions she has a weight problem then you can say something about working together on it.\n\nThe Cooking Light magazine someone else mentioned is a great idea!!    Good luck!

That is hard to answer. She already knows she is overweight, and is probably unhappy about it. Sometimes, it's hard to get motivated. If you are fit, offer to work with her. If you just tell her she's fat, you'll hurt her feelings and maybe hurt your relationship. Be cautious and be NICE. Don't tell her to 'stop shoving food down her throat'...she only eat more in response.

Excuse me!!!!!!!!!! I know that you are concerned about her and you want her to be healthy and look better, but IT'S HER BODY!!!!!!!! not yours.  If she's not asking for your advice, leave her alone!!!!!!

your not fat dear.Ever think your mother may be jealous of you a little? mothers can be harsh now a days.  your esteem depends on the person you want to be,not some fallacy someone else has in their mind.if you believe your esteem relies on others compliments,you shall not have ahappy life.

i used to be slim until i got ill. i have to take medication and it has made me put on alot of weight. not all overweight people are like that cos they eat too much etc. alot of them have medical conditions. when i see them, i always feel for them and hope they are happy and loved, cos that is all we really want. i am very overweight now but im ok with it. i asked my daughter how she felt about me and she turned around and said, i prefer u this way!  it can be an awful struggle for an overweight person to lose weight, just the same as its very difficult for skinny people to put on weight. we are the way we are. i never thought id end up being the size i am but i accept it. i am still me, there is just more of me to love!

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.
