I don't know why people don't just stop feeding their fat faces and just decide to lose weight.

Come on people, just stop opening your mouth and move your ass a little and you'll lose weight.

I am sick of all this crap about obesity as a medical issue. There is nothing medical about eating too much junk and not ever getting off their fat asses.

It's clear that you don't know much other than how to be obnoxious.

Obesity is a problem because the bodies we are born with are not made for a modern society of vast abundance and lettle physical labor.

It may be easy for you to lose weight but for some of us who struggle everyday, it's really not just a matter of not eating.

Everything around us prods us to eat. Have you ever seen the tv commercials, and the stores that all tempt us with junk?

Why is it that we don't ever see a commercial for fruits and vegetable?

"Why is it that we don't ever see a commercial for fruits and vegetable?"

Yearly "Daily Pyramid" Health Ad budget in United States: Around $200,000

Yearly "Junk Food" Budgets (Hershey+M&M's+all junk food) is around $100,000,000

It is a medical problem. It's become an obsessive thing for a lot of people.

You know how some people scrub their hands constantly? Some people do the same with food.

I think the sweatsuit works.
People tell me at the gym, that if i'm sweating it's working.... allso i heard a story of the former strongest man in the world, Jón Páll. that when he had to cut down fat he took a spinning class in a sauna in some kind of a rainware... i don't know if its true. but i think it just might work ;).

I hope all those suckers now realize that America is a nation of stupidity and obesity.

Whats with the obession with weight!

I kinda agree with the first poster, in a much less harsher sense you cant expect anything, pill or other matter to lose the weight for you, Granted it may help the process along but you do have to get motivated To get up and do things, The person who posted with the title "youre an idiot" is unjustifiably blaming marketing on obesity. Over indulgence is not a problem caused by the media, it's caused by lack of self control. However people also need to stop being so idealistic, The average woman is about a size 16 i believe it was, not a size zero. not to mention, not everyones body is made to be a size zero, somepeople just carry a heavier build and they need to stop obsessing over false ideals.

As a life-long fat guy, let me say that, "Close your mouth and move your a**" doesn't always work. In fact, that is the worst thing to do. To severely restrict calories causes your metabolism to slow down, thus defeating the purpose. The best things someone can do who has a propensity toward being a tub o' lard, like myself, is to find an intake that will keep you from getting fatter, and be happy. Exercise, yes, eat meats as well as fruits and vegetables, (stay away from crap like siomple carbs), and be happy you aren't washing yourself with a rag on a stick.

I think those of us who want to drop a few pounds should start following the regimes of competitive eating winners. Sonya Thomas (aka Black Widow) weighs 105 pounds and is the #1 eating champion in the U.S. (third in the world).
In one contest she ate 37 hotdogs in 12 minutes..so how does she get it all in her, and how does she get it all out??!!
I don't think any weight loss program has studied these
kind of people. We are hung up on carbs and colorie counting. So, how do they stretch their stomach and fill it with carbs, sugar (whatever the competition)without gaining fat cells?

Fat people are fat because they are lazy and undisciplined. All they need to do is show a little self control when they eat and exercise a little and they won't be fat. F**** Fat People!

Oh come on, you fattist.

Why is it that you can't say anything about anyone more in this politically correct world but fat people are often accepted as safe for hate.

Who the gave you the right to criticize what I look like to you? I f you don't like the way I look, too bad.

I don't like the fact that poeple like you insenstive idiots but I still have to deal with you.

I have to say I agree with both sides of the argument above. Closing your mouth does work... but it is definitely not healthy. I am a former wrestler (not professional haha) but high school Greco-Roman. Well if anyone knows how to cut weight it is a wrestler. Each season I had to cut 30 pounds of weight. Everyone concentrates on not eating. The fact is that America is getting lazy... If you want a healthy way of losing weight then you have to exercise. Not only that you have to keep a routine with your exercise. I remember my first year of college I began to gain weight and every couple of weeks I would get in a "workout" mode where I would just workout really hard then feel better about myself for about 2 weeks then I would workout again. All I was doing was torturing myself. The truth is you have to find a workout that you can truly enjoy (that is the problem most of us cant find that haha) but if you do just stick with that and keep a routine and you will lose weight. (Its also not too bad of an idea to try and stay away from greasy fried foods and cokes) My first 10 pounds of weight loss in wrestling were very easy to lose... I simply gave up drinking coca cola and switched to WATER, juice, and milk. You will be amazed the change something as simple as that can make. Another thing all of these diets are soo strict I found it much easier to diet when I said I wasn't going to drink cokes unless I really really really wanted it. The way that worked out is I'll have maybe 1 coke every 1 or 2 weeks. That is much healthier than chugging down 2-5 a day. Not that any of you have even read this far down on this. Well good luck. Weight loss can definitely be a pain.

Most juice has about 160 calories per 8 ounce serving. There are some low-calorie juices that are okay, but I still don't see how that would enable anyone to lose any or much weight.

Age is a factor. It is more difficult to lose weight at an older age since it is more difficult to be as active as when you are young and strong. Add some medical problems and surgeries, and the task gets even harder. Some of you who are now young and critical of older overweight people may change your attitudes when you are older....and much heavier.

Sound like losers to me to pig out on that much food at once. Instead of throwing a party to celebrate their "win", they just throw up.

How about the "Hollywood" twiggies--don't some/most/almost all use various legal and illegal drugs to control their diets and weight? Their "meth-od" may very well include meth. And their "diet coke" ain't Coca Cola--at least not the contemporary recipe's ingredients.

Don't be "food"--there are many "cheaters" out there. The people who try to lose weight the "proper" ways aren't very successful.

I find the insensitivy and discrimination placed on big boned people by moderen society to be unfair. Would you go into the childrens ICU and make fun of them for bone marrow disease? NO, but you think nothing of charging pleasantly plump people twice as much on airplanes...

It is a medical condition and it deserves the same consideration as other conditions like cancer and blood disease!

lol, just kidding, I agree. Do less eating, do more moving.
no excuses. Sorry mother nature is so rough, but that is the way life as been on this 3rd rock since time started, a the biggies need to deal with it.

I agree that it is hard to lose weight. But, you got that way for a reason. It is different if you ACTUALLY have a major health problem. But, I have found that many overweight people "blame" their being that way on a "health problem" when in fact it is just them being caught up in life and gaining a little weight here and there until they wake up one morning try to put on some clothes and realize that it no longer fits. I have been in this situation and I agree that it sucks to be considered "overweight." But if we take a look back, were there this many overweight people 100 years ago?.. The answer is NO! Why? Because people had real jobs with real lifting and didnt sit behind a computer all day, or be a stay at home mom that just watches tv all day and eats herself into another 20 pounds. If you are overweight, you can't blame it on advertising or "fast food," that is just making excuses for your bad decisions throughout the day. Once you begin to accept that it is YOUR decision to stop eating the things you eat it will make it alot easier. Losing weight can be an uphill battle for most. But you can do it! Just think, don't lose weight because you feel that society won't except you if you dont, lost weight so you can live and play with your kids without getting winded, and so you can see them get married, and have kids of their own. Good Luck!!

I know it's cheesy, but Nike's long-time ad slogan, "just do it," is really the only thing that works. I've lost over 100 pounds and I didn't use only one diet. It took me about 2 years and I went through 3 or 4 different types of diets, but the one thing that was constant was that I kept plugging away and kept exercising, lifting weights and running. And yes, I used the sauna, because it makes your skin feel tight and clean and healthy and feeling that way might just be what you need to keep the motivation and discipline to diet the next day. And yes, some people, lots of people including myself, are metabolically resistant to losing weight, but that doesn't mean they can't do it. It's just harder, like someone genetically predisposed to alchoholism is more likely to be an alcoholic but isn't guaranteed to. It's more difficult, but it's still do-able. Another important thing is that you have to use a diet that works with your situation and as your situation changes, the diet has to change too. On body image, people need to stop with this "accept yourself the way you are" business, it's self-destructive. That's like telling a 6-year-old to quit school, accept themself the way they are. They'd never learn anything and be crippled for life. Dieting's the same. Never accept mediocrity, you've got to have a vision of how you want to look, and that vision must include capability. It must be a vision of faster, stronger, leaner, more capable. Being fat is a handicap that's totally correctable with some hard work. Also, the scale, tape measure, and mirror are a compass for the diet. You'd get lost and never know from day to day if you were going the right direction without them, so you must use them often. Almost any diet will work, else it wouldn't have been passed along and you wouldn't have heard of it. In the end, just do it.

It's true most fat people are FAT because of lack of effort...

want to lose weight fast and enjoyable?

go to the dominican republic...plenty of water is the best way to lose weight. Coca-Cola around my village is rear..so i had it about a can a day...the food is delicious...and you can have plenty of it...fresh grapefruit juice twice a day (i am not a fan but it's alright as long as i squeeze my nose) a whole lot of relaxation and a walk for 15 minutes everyday is the key.
i lost 60lbs in 3 months doing absolutely nothing... size 22 to a size 16 and i loved it.

2 friends have done the same and are planning their return. believe me it works!

email me if you would like to know more

Well I think that the people on here that say the media has nothing to do with being over weight are unmistakabley wrong. To be socially accepted as pretty or beautiful you have to be thin its just the simple fact.. but weight is not the only thing more and more women now a days are getting breast implants why? because thats what "they" say is beautiful granted that if you dont have a pretty face you are not accepted as beautiful either thus plastic surgery but why would these people go to such extremety to be perfect the media says we have to if being overweight meant you were beautiful dont kid yourself you know that a lot of people would then try to be overweight I know it sounds like it would never happen because being overweight is unhealthy and ugly.. but you only think that because you were raised by the media that thin was beautiful I will be truthful I think thin is beautiful but if i were raised were the media thought big was beautiful I would probably think that bis was beautiful.. The media has raised us to think this way .. Media has everything to do with being overweight...We have such a problem with being overweight because temptation we all give in .! we are overweight we want to be skinny yet we still eat these fatty food but instead of making more fatty foods why dont we work on something that is very healthy for you but tastes like a candy bar how come that isnt invented yet? Because people buy snickers not a bag of celery..Money the people have everything to do with us being overweight so does Media obesity is a problem a definite problem! That can only be fixed if we get together and change how we choose to buy thing if noone bought candy bars and started buying celery companies would be competiting then to create something that has all the values of celery yet tastes wonderful so we would buy that stop buying fatty foods and we will get more healthy foods!!!!!!!!!!!

For those of you that think that dehydration is a good weight loss technique, think again. When you dehydrate yourself in a rubber suit and see the pounds "melt away", you are losing water weight, not fat. Water is a large part of your body and when you dehydrate yourself, you see the numbers get lower on the scale, but you are not actually losing the type of weight you want to lose, such as fat.

Your body is hydrated for a reason and when you take that water away, your body does not function properly. More stress is put on your organs to do important daily functions.

Dehydration and rubber suits are NOT the way to lose weight. Acually, it puts your body at risk for bigger problems than you being overweight. There is no quick fix for being over weight. Dehydration especially.

all of u sticking up for the fat people are probably fat asses yourselves.. its not a damn medical condition. its called being lazy and eating to much. get off your asses and exercise and stop eating so much junk.. its not that hard

Shut up you illiterate fool. You can't even use simple grammar correctly and you are bringing these people down? Fuck you man, it is a condition and i am not fat. I recognize that it is genetically predetermined and it is at times unavoidable so shut the fuck up and read.

You idiots who are in denial about eating disorders, SERIOUSLY need to do some research before you just jump up and say "get off your fat asses and stop eating so damn much" . Until you know what it's like to be judged and abused by society because of your size, then you don't have ANY damn business saying things like that. I had a friend who had this phrase "what may be like reciting the alphabet for one, may be like pulling teeth for another.", it may be cheesey but it's true. I don't give a damn HOW fast your metabolism is, or HOW many hours of exercise you get in a week. "I exercise everyday and I don't eat junk food! I don't see why you fat pigs can't do it! I did it" PLEASE! It may be simple for you,everyone is different. You have no real right judge those who don't do it, nor do you have any real right to assume that everyone can just do it like that just because YOU get up and do it every day. That's YOU. Instead, give some REAL advice, and instead of acting like EVERY obese person is trying to blame their obesity on someone else, LISTEN to what that person may have to say, you might just learn something. Help them out, don't bring them down. I mean, no one has the same body, or the same metabolism and so on. So what may seem like "pigging out" to you may actually be a more serious situation for that person who is doing the "pigging out". You just don't know, and since you don't know, it's best you take your own advice and "keep your mouth shut".

You know what stop complaining about fat people.... When you look at some girls they are over weight but you cant tell. Another thing its not that easy to lose weight for some of us. i have thought of being anorexic or bulimic my friends always complain im not fat but i am well at least i think i am i get up and dressed and looking in miror thinking who is that ugly fat girl. I deal with temptations over not eating some times at lunch i wanna go sit in a stall and just get away but my friends convince me to come and then i dont wanna eat there but then every one will show sympathy.....What im trying to say FAT looks good on some girls just go on a low carb diet but it doesnt work all the time. Dont stuuf your faces all the time so yah bye....

ok look people who are standing up for the fatties. Fat people are like people who smoke. They say they cant help it and they tried to stop (lose weight) but they just couldnt ya know why? cause depending on when you try to quit (or lose weight) the more addictive you have become (the more fat you got and the more lazy you got) so it just seems to hard to do, but its not a mental disorder where you cant help it. We have no problem telling people who smoke they should stop, but if we see somebody shoving their faces with a burger praticly dripping with saturated fat we keep our mouths shut because its rude and they just cant help it.... it makes me laugh the people who are extremly over weight need to do something about it, its gonna take a long time cause youve gotten "so addicted" that you either dont wanna stop or youve gotten so lazy you feel you cant do it, just do it or at least try to and when i say try to that doesnt mean get off the couch walk to the door than go back to the couch and scream out "i give up i just cant do it!!!" lol you gotta work hard! you can do it!

I found that I could not stop eating.  The self hatred, the bewilderment, the terrible health, whatever it was, it was not enough to relieve me of the obsession with food.  Eating disorder, eating smishorder.  Who cares why I constantly overate?  The only thing that matters is that I found a solution to my problem.

The obsession with food overpowered all other thoughts so that I always picked up that first compulsive bite.  By joining OA, I found the power to be able to stop.  I don't diet, I don't eat wacky foods or drinks, I don't over-exercise and I don't have a compulsion to overeat anymore.

OA is free.  All contributions are voluntary.  I go to the meetings, take what I can use, and leave the rest.  But does it work?  I know people who have abstained from compulsive overeating for 10-20 years and maintained normal body weights.

If you think you need help, go to oa.org and find a meeting near you.

Go ahead knock it all down. It is interesting that there are google ads for weight loss. Lets hear some answers. Every body is different. I myself have used a weight loss gel that does work. Along with other suggested suppliments. It works! I used a body suit it helped. Get some real input and research and then comment! You sound like a moron!

LOL, those are not just whacky but innovative too. Not many can maintain being on a weight loss program for long and keep deviating. Such things may aid in keeping them motivated. Although quick weight loss is only possible by natural exercising and diet control.

i dont think that means ur fat i think u have self asteem issues

that's hilarious.
well done my dear.
:D

Well first to all the people telling fat people to get off there a** trust me I’m off mine I exercise and I eat way less then my skinny friends and you know what your hating, and anger make me want to stay big. God must want me this way cause I have tried a lot of things but as soon as I hit puberty it was all weight gain for me...and those saying ignorant things have you looked at yourself, you must have some internal problems if you have this much hatred over someone who has a little extra weight on them. If I got on a site and said f*** skinny people I would get all types of h*ll. It's ok though I know I’m fat, succulent as I like to call it :) I also know that many people like me this way that’s why this is America cause it's diverse from color, size, or sex. Secondly Keep hope alive big people

Its totaly right. I might get in trouble for this but its the FDA's fault to. They are putting the drug CAFFIENE in the junk food which makes people want more of the food, which makes them fat asses. But its also their fault cause they can't get off their wide load ass and work! If they want to cut weight, talk to a wrestler!

Since you are talking about the FDA i will say something to. The FDA comes up with these perscription drugs that supposobly help you but not your wallet. Did you know that there are NATURAL remedys for disesase such as breast cancer herpies and even AIDS! These cures are found in herbs and oils. The FDA doesnt want you to know this because they wont make any money if people use natural remedys. The FDA did not say any thing about all these cures for one reason:''MONEY''. Find out more online from kevin treadus book NATURAL CURES THEY DONT WANT YOU TO KNOW ABOUT. -KEVIN SUPPORTER

Hey, im the same guy who wrote FDA IS BAD. And i would like to apologize to the FDA. the FDA keeps us safe by recalling unsafe foods and drugs.i was just mad when i saw kevin trudue's book. Again, FDA I hope you accept my apolige and forgive my actions...sorry...

What? Why would you talk **** about the fda that way?!

Hey annoynmus shut the heck up and mind your god dang bussiness! Ok?

all i have to say is. haha? haha? ahhhhhhhaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhaaaaaaaahhahah

Seriously, don't everyone hate fat people. Yes I acknowledge I am fat. But I accept that's my fault. I've tried to lose weight, and I'm simply not disciplined enough to do it. It isnt a disease, it's just my own lack of application. But that's no reason to call us all evil. Also, Nicotine addiction is a serious thing, it has physical and chemical addiction aspects to it, where when someone stops, chemicals in their brain cause them to go in withdrawl, so dont compare fat people to nicotine addicts, as nicotine addiction is serious, where as fat people like me are just lazy. But that's no reason to hate, it's not like we're clubbing baby seals with homeless people.

Why are those who have never dealt with this problem criticizing others dealing with it? They haven't a clue what it is like to live large from age four. Many of you are not medical doctors and have no degrees in the sciences. However, I see your opinions, often rude and characterized by hate and misunderstanding, to be thrown out here like you are, indeed, experts. Get over yourselves and try to help others who are going through problems that you actually have or have conquered. You have not conquered obesity if you have never been obese.

Im' trying Phentermine now and it's helped a great deal. It's apparently fairly safe and I have spoken, at length, with my two medical doctors about the health benefits and cons associated with it. I have high blood pressure and depression and it does increase blood pressure, but not in any great way.

Best,

Hey.. Im fat(i weigh 140 lbs.)... some people like to be that way.. the weight looks good on my cousin because he is 5'10.5'' so yeah... dont knock fat people.. it aint nice!

I’m shocked that people are getting so angry about other people's weight I will admit honestly that I’m overweight, obese even at 292lb but that is my problem and has nothing to do with any one else. I don’t hate you for having buckteeth or a lazy eye or for being just plain idiotic, that’s you problem and has nothing to do with me. I really think we should all have more important things to be angry about, because really if all you have to be angry about is someone else’s weight problem your life must really be pretty d*** good!

All right David H., first of all, who the heck has heard of a weight losing gel? Second, diet pills can't be the ONLY way you lost weight! That's BS! Diet and exercisie is the REAL key to losing weight. Not f***ing pills!! This is what P90X promotes! Diet and exercise! Seems to me you're too lazy to get of you butt and lift a dumbell so you'd rather pop a pill! I have done my research, now you need to do yours! SO S***W OFF PAL!!!

I think there is some validity to the arguments about "getting off your ass and doing something", however, not all people are built the same. I personally do not need to lose weight, I am healthy and look great, but I work VERY hard to maintain my weight. A typical day in my diet / exercise routine includes:
3/4 cup of oatmeal for breakfast (and NOT the sugary packaged crap, I'm talking about OATS boiled in water, with milk on top, no sugar).
1/2 cup of orange juice
one apple and a small handful of unsalted nuts for a snack mid morning
a can of tuna & a homemade fruit smoothie for lunch (the smoothie consists of a handful of frozen fruit, a banana, a little water, and three small spoonfuls of low calorie peach yogurt)
in the afternoon comes my treat, 3 arrowroot cookies (90 calories total).
then comes dinner, which varies, but usually a spinach salad, or maybe an egg-white omelette, sometimes i'll make fajitas but wrap them in lettuce instead of the high calorie tortilla wraps, and skip the sour cream, just veggies, chicken and salsa.
I eat nothing after 7pm, and drink lots of water
I don't think anyone could argue I overeat, I also run about 7kms about 4 times a week, and hit the gym to do some weights about twice a week. I have a job where I stand and walk around all day (not exactly physical labour but not sitting at a desk.
Now here's the real kicker... my boyfriend is a TWIG. He eats so much crap you wouldn't believe it and complains that he can't GAIN weight. He has never been to the gym since I've known him, and does not run or play any sports (other than golf...). I feed him mountains of food and he eats whatever yummy treats he wants, whenever he wants. I did a calculation once and figured he probably eats about 4000 calories in a typical day, and he hates vegetables, doesn't eat many.
I guess the only point to my rambling is to point out that although we may look like a healthy couple together, for whatever reason it is very easy for him and extremely difficult for myself.
SO, maybe we should give overweight people a LITTLE benefit of the doubt in that SOME of them may have a different body type like myself that makes it more dificult to lose weight than for other people.

omg! seriously i am SICK of hearing that having a wieght problem is because you are lazy, undisiplined and all that bullshit! i am considered "fat" because i am 5'10 and 200lbs. well let me let you in on a secret! I AM BUILT LIKE A FUCKING GUY! there is unfortunately nothing small about my build. I AM NOT LAZY! i work three fucking jobs! all three i am on my feet all day. I EAT 2 MEALS A DAY, and it isnt fast food either. SO ALL YOU FUCKING SHIT HEADS WHO THINK BEING FAT IS FROM LACK OF WILL POWER OR BEING LAZY YOU CAN GO FUCK YOUR SKINNY ASS! i am a size 16 and happy. ive tried to lose wieght but it doesnt happen. i wish i could go into hollister and american eagle and get my clothes. well they just dont make them for real women. I have hips and size 36D boobs. so do you really think my bubble ass is going to fit in those damn jeans made for girls who have no curves? hell no! so everyone who is skinny by nature good for you. but us women who have real bodies more power to us. I am as healthy as they come so im not worried. i just wish all you haters would keep your mouth shut about things you know NOTHING about.

People who think they are fat are obviously lazy. I constintly hear people that think they are to fat, then go out and drink a thousand calories at the bar and then go to whataburger and eat five hundred more... It's not hard people, it's called the gym. Good old fashion exercising has never killed ANYONE!!
