Are you over weight?

I am overweight. I am large boned, which does not help much, and also muscular. I tried to lose weight, even took off ten pounds, after trying the long route of one pound a week, by taking diet products, diet pills, etc. I also got sick doing so. You see if you have a large boned structure, if you do lose weight, you do not look as if you do. Those who are smaller and medium boned can see the weight come out, their tummy's shrink, etc. I think that is the problem. Also since we already have the heavy bones to begin with, we do not feel as lethargic and tired as those who had thinner and lighter bones. That is my take on this. Still the same, I will continue with the walks and the vegetable and fruit eating, and eat balanced.

I am overweight but I wear it fairly well due to my frame and height...I'm working on losing though...I'd LIKE to get down to 135-145 but would be happy at 155....right now I'm 170...which isnt bad considering I weighed in at 205 last summer! Heaviest I've ever been in my life and I HATED IT!!

Yes I am a little overweight. I was losing weight and then I quit smoking, then I gained some of the weight back. So now I have to start trying to lose the weight again. I have found that drinking green tea helps, it helps speed up your metabolism and that helps you to burn calories faster. Also the green tea is very healthy for you.

Oh yes I am..and so sad that I am not losing any weight, Now that I'm attending two weddings next year,I am hyped to lose weight again,am planing to enroll in a gym with my friend so hopefully next month I'll have some pounds off.

I gained three kg. in a month.I worried about over weight.The clothes I bought in June aren't fit for me.a little small...I go out for a walk after supper,and go to work by bicycle for nearly 40 mins.

i am not overweight underweight instead:) but i am trying my best to gain wait...wish i could do it..

I have struggled with my weight for the last 25 years, but right now, I only a few pounds overweight and am working on those few pounds. I currently have health problems that affect my metabolism. At times, I gain weight very easily, but I always try to lose weight when I get to a certain point. But, I also have severe hypoglycemia and have a hard time when I eat too little. At other times, I can lose weight very easily, which can be dangerous because I can't metabolize a large variety of foods and it can be hard to gain the weight back. So, I plan to keep a few extra pounds to keep healthy.

no,i am not overweight but of late i have started putting on weight.i am not really worried as i do have salads now and there is less of salt and oil in the food which i think is healthy.both my in-laws are b.p patients.

i know that i am. i need to lose at least 20 to 30 pounds for sure. i keep saying that i need to lose the weight and i know i need to really do it. i have to focus my thoughts on and do it. I am going to do it, i have to set my mind to it

oh i am over weight for sure. but i am not unhealthy. that is the big thing that people must understand. i am in the process of dropping a few pounds but i am not so over weight to the point where i can't walk or do the things i need to do. but i am a wonderful work in progress

I plan on losing some weight. Some just went off without me doing any serious trying. But I could stand to lose a few more anyhow. I walk a lot, so I tend to find that walking is right helpful.

i've always been under weight and have tried many times to gain weight but never succeed

a little.. my waist measure 33inches, and i dont like it.. used to be 23 - 24 inches waist.. i'm trying to lose weight and some fats

Hello marciascott. No, I dont think Im overweight I think Im underweight and I wanted to gain a little weight.

I am pretty much in control of it now! Trust me you will feel so much better about YOURSELF! it isn't about what other people think, it is doing it for yourself to prove to yourself that you can do it. We all want to live the dream of a hot body - yes even those of us who say we dont. I have been running for 1 hour everyday on my elliptical runner, and am getting really fit... i wasn't that big at the start, i am only 20 and consider myself to be a fairly fit person just chubby round the edges now i am trimming up and my self esteem is high, i feel better than i remember feeling.

I'm overweight. After 3 kids, one of which I just gave birth to 2 months ago, I'm about 50lbs over weight. I'm now on a quest to lose the weight. I am not so much concerned with exactly what I way though. I want to lose weight, but I also would like to be in better shape. With 3 kids to chase after I need to be in good shape.

No i am not. I am one of the lucky people who has a constant weight. But i do watch what i eat. I'm a educated nutrition and lifstyle coach so i do what i can to keep my body healthy. Both or myself, but also to show to my clients that what i teach is working.

hello marciascott!I was overweight at one time but I manage to lose some too,just like you.I've lost exactly 20kgs.I was a size 14 and now a size 8.But I've lost my melons.lol.

Im 24 years old and my weight is 49 kilos.I think it is average for me.So no need to lose wieght.thank you so much ..Enjoyyyyy

I've been at battle with my weight now for about 20 years and still I am fat. I have trired all sorts of weight loss product and just straight out diet and exercise. Dexatrim & acutrim (the very same day) made me feel like I was starving and shook so bad I couldn't get the food in my mouth fast enough, slim quick was just a little chocolate "quick" drink for 2 months, herbalife made me gain weight in 2 weeks, , trimspa did absolutly nothing after a 2 1/2 month stretch & Akavar with the first month I lost 1 pound but then it could be because I was sick with ear infection.. a $40.00 bad investment. These are just some of the "pills/drinks" I have tried. I have been watching my fat and calorie intake along with exercise everyday for 20 years and I am still at 307 pound. I would like to weigh 105 pounds (although my husband has no problem with my weight and still finds me sexy, as he even tells me so)b I would gratefully settle for 175. My 2 children are grossly over weight also and we are all suffering depression as losing weight is the hardest thing to do no matter how much effort is put into it. My maternal side is "heavy and the other is "thin".. I often wonder if it really is hereditary and "we" are just destined to be fat.
