True that. Well If i look back in 2006 i wasn't obese. I weighed around 60 kgs then, which wasn't bad for 5.3 ft girl. Well, then due to some family tensions and studies, i put on weight gradually over the time span of four years. I weighed 95 kgs in 2010. I didnt give it much attention till last year's August. I currently weigh 87 kgs. Not much weight lost but still its something. If we look into the formula Calorie in

a firend of mine lost weight by not avoiding sugar and oil in her diet. she only ate boiled and grilled food. in two months she lost almost five kilos. i think water therapy also works. drink 4 glasses (roughly 540ml) of water before having breakfast in the morning. i learned that the japanese use water therapy to cure diseases and to flush out the toxins from their body so i tried this. i eat normally, i'm not on a diet but i have lost one kilo in one month.

Sadly, I am doing all of the above for 7 months now.... I should have lost around 20 kgs but managed to lost only 5-6 kgs, I guess body types also add alot to your weight loss process

dagami, i take 4-5 meals (2 snacks and 3 main meals) daily. I drink around 3-4 ltrs of water daily. I don't like sugar/sweet taste so no chocolates,cakes etc. I have cut my soda and fast food intake from daily to occasionally. I have incorporated exercise one hour 5 days a week. I feel good about myself but still haven't lost what i should have by now. Anyways,thank you so much for your tips and concern, that's so nice of you

maybe you're in the plateau stage. the body gets used to your caloric intake and it has adjusted already. try taking 5 small meals in a day. this will speed up your metabolism and you will start losing weight again. it is important that you don't starve yourself as this will only worsen the situation. for more information about the plateau stage in dieting, run a search about it. you'll find the information useful. good luck

Oh cut yourself some slack girl! You're 25, you're not 55. Yes, some might be getting engaged or married your age, but I bet you wouldn't feel as bad knowing that most of those girls would have a divorce or get separated after a few years (knock on wood). Marriage isn't a race. If you say you're doing everything you can to lose weight, then you probably are. Perhaps the main thing you need to look into are the things you are wearing. Perhaps you're wearing clothes that hide your assets and show off your liabilities. I am a big girl and I have learned to mix and match things so that I can have a figure. I am quite older than you and I am not yet married. Now, do your exercise NOT because you feel insecure, but because it makes you feel good about yourself. Stop measuring yourself, instead do the routine, dance, walk, eat healthy, smile more. A lot of people look older than they are because of what they do to themselves. Don't give too much pressure on yourself. How can Mr. Right approach you if you're always hiding in your shell? How will he have the chance of meeting or getting some courage of saying "hello" if you keep on looking like you're angry at all times? Get a grip! Relax. Enjoy your life. People are attracted with personality in the long run. Physical may be a hindrance at first, but once a person gets to know you better, I tell you they can love you ~ if you love yourself first. I told you I am a big girl, but I have someone who loves me because I am confident and I know I am worth loving. Be worth loving too. Have a great mylot experience ahead!

You weighed 95 kilos in 2010 and so you have lost some weight but not as much that it pleases you. I think a pretty face is what pleases most men looking for a suitor. I believe that a fuller body might be cuddly for a man. He might really like that and adore you. I lost 4 kilos on a trip around four different countries in March and April in 2012. I joined a sports center in November 2011. I advise you to see a health adviser to get some suggestions. In my home country we have clubs called Weight Watchers and Slimming World. It doesn't matter if you wait until age 26, 27, 28, 29 or 30 years old to get married. You just need the right man that will love you exactly how you are. Good luck.

Hello,night01watcher! First of all,do not despair! Loosing weight is possible. I say this because the last year i lost more than 20 kg. First things first, I'm sorry to hear about your country customs and traditions. I doubt an arranged marriage can succeed without some amount of luck. But i won't judge that, though from my own principles i disapprove of it. Now, for the weight loss. Search the Dukan diet online. It did wonders for me, it's not hard to follow and it jump-started my metabolism back. And now i can eat and not get fat anymore. I won't tell you the details, here because there's a lot to tell and you can find them all on the diet's site. Both official and fan made.It's a very fun community of people that support each other. I would give you a link but i mainly stayed on the group page in my country. All I can say is you get to eat, not starve and loose weight. No fake products, no strict diet no exhausting exercises. Actually, after you start loosing a few pounds you'll feel motivated to work out yourself as you'll gain some courage. The trick of the diet : it strips the body of the bad, free energy supplies that he's used to now : sugar, fats and so on and teaches is to consume proteins and process them properly, into healthy energy for your body. This means your muscles won't loose their mass during the diet either :) Which is a problem with all other diets. And after you hold it like this for a while, no sugar and no fats, you can start reintroducing things slowly in your diet and they won't go on your hips or legs, but they will be properly processed. It takes time but it's efficient from the first 2 weeks you can loose 4-5 kg. :) Try it and i promiss you won't regret it! Good luck and let us know how it goes!

I think you have the wrong goal for losing weight. First, you need to put in mind that losing weight is for your own good. It is to stay healthy. When you're obese or overweight, all sorts of health problems will come to you. So first, have the right goal. Then after knowing and believing that it is for health reason that you are doing this, start by avoiding all sodas. Drink plain water after each meal. This greatly takes off a lot of pounds, I assure you. Then, start limiting the amount of food you take. You can do this little by little, then while you're at this, start doing some exercises. You can start by simply walking. You can later on perk up the routine by jogging from time to time. Do this daily, do your best to sweat out while you limit your food intake and junk all sodas. You will really get good results I tell you.

I'm so sorry you have to live in such a society. It would be horrible for me. I mean,. I'm 77 kgs for somewhere between 5.2 and 5.3 feet... so I'm clearly not skinny and nice looking. But I've found the perfect man... but I was really lucky (especially since I gained like 5-6 kilos from a birth control pill after we met, and he still thinks I'm beautiful). I hate it when people tell/told me that no one would like me because I'm not skinny. You should, first of all, stop stressing about this whole thing. It's gonna be worse if you get depressed because of it. Can't you attend a psychologist where you live? It would help. Or go the a gym, and ask a personal trainer about what she/he thinks, what you could do better to lose more weight. I still can't get over this after 25 you do not have a chance to get married thing. In my society people even 50 ys old get married. It's really sexist in my opinion.

Well,doroffee,you are right i must say, this kinda thinking really is sexist. But the thing is you can not shut people's mouths,all you can do is ignore and not be one of them. This is what I am gonna do. God help me :) About the psychologist, nope... why? because the people here think that mad people see psychologist. Well, may be i can go to a psychologist secretly though. Also, the concept of personal trainer is new here, they are either really expensive or they are not available :( But i am feeling really better now :) so many people with such kind words :) thank you

I won't buy the idea that love is all about figure. Well, maybe in your case (Arrange marriage) you are left with no choice but to lose weight to have suitor. But the real concept of love is not about physical looks but the inner self of the person- Love is a feeling within- not a beauty to admire.

I wish i was born somewhere i was allowed to do things my own way. Its not like that I like being fat, but its also not the end of the world. I hope things get better really soon.

Don't be so much affected by this my friend. Just keep on doing what you have to do in losing weight. Don't do it just to be able to get a suitor but for your own health. Being obese has lots of problems, so just keep on and in no time you will get down to your much coveted weight. And don't get pressured because the more you are, the more that losing weight will be difficult.

Yes you are right i shouldn't be bothered by what other people have to say. I should feel happy about how i am doing and losing and keeping it off. Well frankly, somebody who'll marry you for your looks is not someone that you deserve. :)

I think you don't lose weight is because you have so much pressure on yourself.Myabe your nerves ar playing you a bad trick. Have you tried consulting with a proffesional trainer and dietologist? May be you are doing something wrong.

Yes you are right, that may be the cause. But i have been seeing the nutritionist as well since August. She says its better to lose weight slowly and never put it back on than to lose weight quickly and get fat again. But she hasn't put me on any medications because she says i am young and that i can lose weight without medicine. She is very supportive, she has shown me cases that of people who were able to lose only one kg during 6 months due to medical conditions
