i dont like labelling people and i have nothing against anyone, each person has their own qualities and differeces. i just would like to know if anyone has lost weight that they didnt want and how did you do it? was it stressfull, did something make you decide you would do it, did you get the support you expected? what kind of things did you eat and what kind of drinks did you take? did you manage to get to your goal weight, did you think you would,did you do more excercise or was it all through dieting. do people now treat you differently now you have lost the weight? please dont think i am being rude, i am curious as a friend is trying to lose some weight and he asked me to find out what to eat,how hard it would be and what if any excercises he should do. so hopefully by helping my friend out, with the answers and discussion we have we will be helping give tips and stories to others who read this thread.

yes when i was smaller men stopped me on the street now they dont. But I earned my fat back i was pregnant. Anyway i have not got my lipozene in yet so i dont know if it is easy. Dont not eat it can kill you and is not worth it. everyone no matter what they look like should be loved like ti does not matter. The good stuff is inside not outside that is how i see it anyway

I lost 70 pounds. I took prescription diet pills. I like to call them my magic pills. They were great. I don't think that people necesarily treat me differently as I have a different attitude. I am very confident. It shows. You can always tell when I feel good about myself. I will dress in tighter tees and stuff. No baggy clothes. I am not trying to lose 30 pounds. I gained some weight back earlier this year when I injured my back at work. It is driving me crazy. I don't feel like myself in my own body. The extra weight is so heavy and stuff. I just feel fat. I know that I am not fat, so don't even say it. That doesn't matter to me. I feel fat that is what matters. You have to make yourself happy. NO one else. Do what makes you feel better and don't pay attention to what others say. I don't know what really motivated me to lose the weight other than I needed to. Once I started losing, I was on a roll though. It was addictive. I didn't want it to stop. The attention that goes along with it is okay too. LOL

i think you just have to be happy for yourself, and also to other people and not judge them because they are different.
