False Weight Loss Advertising Is Declining

O.K. Let me just let you girls in on a story and this is a TRUE Story, It consists of my older sister how is 35......about 2yrs ago this july she decided she was leaving her husband........Well she was 5'1 and oh about 205 aprrox. Me I am 5'5 and presently weigh 190.....She started starving herself and taking handfulls of stacker 2 pills a day and then when she ate she puked........By Christmas she went from a 16 to a 9/10 and flaunted it in everyones face.......but as with us she gorge in everything cookies/candie/big plate of food tinking she was "fooling" us she was eating......Well in the skinney of things here are aftermath.....Stacker 2's are like Coke......They spped you up and then you crash you are supposed to not exceed 6 a 24 hour period she was taking 6 at a TIME.......She did huge damage to her teeth and gums.......Messed up her throat oh yeah did I mention she is also a smoker......She fell in the shower shaving her legs and cracked 2 ribs....Dr informed her she was malnutirioned and gave her pills to help her stomach......Her skin has a gray tone to it......She swears she eats but I know better...She is now a size 3...She is built to be small....so hopefully this is done and she will maintain but I am worried for her. In the beggining it was awful she was so critical of every person even slightly over weight...It made me uncomfortable....But see with me I am not a real sister so our bodies are totally different she is smalled framed I am medium framed and 5'5,,,But the worst part of it is my mom has jumped on the band wagon and is skinney now too...It is like a competition with her and my older sister (my older sister is unaware)......She lives on chicken and salad......So I am constantly trying something and nothing works...I was belimic in high school for a little while and just up and quit...I maintainded but got prego at 18....My body never bounced back....I hate the way I look and there is no positive influence except my husband....But he is slightly over weight and my little sister who is beautiful and a size 9 she is typica 19 yr old weight goes slightly up and down but she nver gains anywhere but her stomach and she is beautiful in anything she put on.....I 8 years ago went on Merida I lost an average of 11-13lbs a month.....basically I never ate and it was with a little tiny pill....After math a couple years ago they recalled it abecause people where havine right valve failure I went through a million test and found out heart a little large but no damage and oh yeah by the way you have Lupus....Lupus can kill some people...My I guess it isn't full blown....I freaked out thinking I was going to die immediately...Put me on a million meds.....Felt worse so quit taking everything....My Lupus effects my muscles mostly in my arms/hands....I lost 25lbs on the zone diet (Really strict and hard) then went off I went over 2 yrs from 170-190 currently I am now at 186 it is a constant battle but I have learned you have to do it right....There is too much at stake when you do it the wrong way,.......You never heal from it....I decided to propose to my hubby we both attempt to lose 25lb by July if more great but HAVE TO LOSE 25LBS...When we do we are both going to Vegas.....I have been excercising and even ran for the first time on a treadmill this week You can do it but please talking from experience of myself and people I love dearly.....DO IT RIGHT....No laxatives/diet pills, Take a multi vitamin and excercise.......Even when you starve your self thin you look thin in clothes but out of clothes....NOT A PRETTY SIGHT your skin is grayish in color and it just makes you look old plus your skin doesn't shrink at the same pace so you have loose hanign skin EVERYWHERE I want weight loss to be a positive......Maybe we can all network together.....Inspiring emails....Healthy tips...I am 33 and want this I have struggled my WHOLE LIFE with weight loss up and down...But I know I can't be any thinner then 145-155 that may sound huge to you but do this.....Everyone has a different shape....All my weight sets in my butt & thighs......have a small waste stomach OK even with having a child it isn't flat as it was have a little pouch but you know under wear hides that a good bathing suit top hides that......arms are yukky too but all I can do is stay positive and try!!!!

ok... my name kristin and i'm 4'11.5 and weigh OVER!! 130 lbs. i fell like a fat short girl. i fell like a little pig! i really need to lose weight! somene help me! i'm thinking of trying laxatives do they really work?

Hi I,m a 32 year old mother of 2 , in the past year i,v gained alot of wieght on my 5'3 frame I,m around 165 pounds. So I went to the doctor and got a prescription for Merida ! I was wondering if anybody eles who has tried it has had any success or any problems with this drug?

ok so im 15 and im 5"2 and a half, i weigh 113 over all. I dont have any problems with weight but only my middle part of my body. which would be around my stomack area and love handles. Anyways i just wanted to say that you girls are silly to think that your fat or over-weight.
.....For this reason, I think very low of my self sometimes. because i have hairy problems yes i guess you could say i am a hairy girl. i cry and ask my self why why why. i am so sad to think of it. My face is literaly hair including my cheeks and my BACk and belly and a lot more. That is why be thankful that you think you are only over weight. Hey let me tell you all you need to do is work at it and dedecate your self to it. But what can i do with my problem. So take this in concederation wish the best :)

U teens r definitely not alone.i am 24, 5'4 and 170lbs. I know the stress low self esteem and obsession with finding something that works fast and easy. Being not able to find clothes to fit and not make you look like an old lady is so hard. I have not tried that hard yet but knowing that so many people go tru this and succeed should inspire us all. So lets start eating right, exercising and kissing those love handles away. good luck to us!

Here is the result of an eating disorder I had from age 12 to 26.

Two pregnancies that caused triple weight gain, could not breast feed and bed ridden. Gave birth, went right back to the laxatives, vomiting, etc. Kids are fine, now ages 11 and 14.

After I gave birth, bloody discharge for several years, leasing to cancer. Severe constipation problems, abnormal kidney funtion, pallops in the colon, constant pain, fatigue, weakness and confusion. Have not been practicing poor eating habbits since cancer diagnoses.

14 surgeries later and chemotheropy, I am now 37, in remission and still abnormal kidney function.

Yes - eating disorders do lead to death or fighting to stay alive, not staying thin.

If you want to remain thin, seek a licensed nutritionist, excercise, take vitamins or something with the vitamons you need, like V8. You can't change others and how you may think they see you on the outside, but you can change yourself. My eating disorder is the cause for these medical problems I have today. Yes, eating disorders can cause cancer due to lack of nutrition causing less electrolights and nutriants, developing malignant tumors because calcium deposits don't go in the right places in the body, they cluster and that is how a tumor is formed and turns into cancer.

Eating disorders only go away if you make them go away.
