Obese People In America

Please answer only if you are obese or overweight. This is not an issue for non-obese.
Thank you.


Thank you for sharing your story, if you have one. I wish you the best in life and your health.

I was and still is # 60 im 6ft 2in to go and weighed 490 now with proper medical treatment and walking and drinking water and diet am on "weighing" for a healthier life

I gained 20 pounds. this year. alone, and I do not really know why. Same food, routine, etc. My dr. think it could be my thyroid.

I'm overweight. In January I was 5'0 weighing 184.I has launched a program of weight loss and healthy eating excerize and now I'm at 145. I gained 15 lbs to go, but it's worth.

My doctor says I have big get below 200 pounds. lol-it's true!
So I'm at 222 today, after losing 67 pounds. few years ago thanks to Atkins. Stabilized and I can not lose the next 30 pounds. I want. I do not look too fat, I carry the weight as well - at least with clothes - but I was shocked to read an article stating that a report of my government class (5 '11 "and 222 lbs.) That obese. Not just a little more weight, but obese! I must go cry now .... Excuse me please .............

I guess I should not complain - I was 335 pounds. Back to college. This is what I consider to be obese. Can not hide the stomach. lol
Good day!

PS If you avatar picture .... you're hot!

I have PCOS, a disorder of the metabolism of sugar and / IBS, irritable bowel syndrome. I've never had a problem keeping my weight steady, but I can not lose. But these two things go against me. With polycystic ovary syndrome, I cut carbs to lose, but with IBS, I need carbohydrates to maintain a healthy stomach, if you know what I mean. Thus, the road is difficult, but I try.

I am obese by definition. However, I am in shape. I have no blood pressure or diabetes or cholesterol. I need to lose weight though. I'm lost and we will continue to lose by natural means. I walk 3 miles per day and reduced my calories by 10 percent. It works well, I lost 63 lbs. to date and need to lose 47 more. Obesity is not a death is a choice. I now make better choices.

Yeah, I think I'm a little overweight, but now it does not bother me much (except when I look in the mirror), but no I am not of the United States. I'm Philippines.why you ask?

Yes, I am one of those. I hate it but at the same time am unmotivated to change.
