Well, I may not have been underweight (I'd consider myself average) but sometimes adults don't understand. I gained weight as I grew two inches over six months of school, that should be 20 but I only gained ten. I ate about 2,000 + calories, and was always fully awake and energetic. When I told my mom I wanted to be healthier, she said that I overate and needed to stop. I then ate too little and lost 8 pounds of water weight. My mom still says I have no control over myself when I really eat very healthily. I don't know.

I don't think that it's right to say they can't be gay or bi! I am asexual, and I found it very offensive when people say "You are too young to decide that". Then why is it accepted that my friends are heterosexual. One of them flipped out on me when I said, "Do you think you're old enough to know you're hetero?". Really, do you want kids to just live not knowing their sexuality? Or give them the freedom and respect to say, " I am homosexual, and you're going to have to deal with it".

It's called "motivation". Imagine seeing yourself 20 pounds less. Doesn't that give you a want to go out, exercise, and just get fit? I have in the past stated " I know this is impossible, but it helps motivate me". Just like when people put their head on a morbidly obese person. I find that somewhat strange but that helps them exercise too apparently.

We aren't supposed to talk about eating disorders, we only talk to get over them :)

Well, none of you may know this, but I have stated that 90 pounds is an unreachable weight. I'm not that idiotic, thank you. I will not have an eating disorder. It's not good because you just loose water weight and structural fat. What I worry about is that in the couple days I have gained 10 pounds. I emotionally eat, eat  more than I should, and barely exercise. Even my own mother told me that she thinks I eat too much! Both of my parents (especially my dad) want me to get involved in sports. I will be joining track in the fall. Now, this is obviously going to make my thighs bigger with muscle. I find this good, for thigh size doesn't matter, I just want to be healthy. I have an incredibly low metabolism for anything physical, but I have a high sitting metabolism.

  I know I will become a woman. I get that. What I don't get is you saying, without knowing anything about me, that I have an eating disorder and will cause problems in the long run. I have been eating the right amount currently, 1500 calories a day. Actually, I don't know, I don't count calories. I just need more exercise. What problem with eating healthy and exercising is this?

  Lastly, I just wanted an exercise that is good for thighs. Please respect that. I can't just trust any random site on the web, so if anyone wants to stop arguing and give me it I'll be glad to take it and leave. I have lots of fat and muscle, and my bmi is at the 73rd percentile. To be at risk of being underweight, your bmi must be below the 5th percentile.But I'm sure you all know that. I'm always wrong on here, and yelled at a lot.

I just wanted to thank everyone here. I realized that this was an unhealthy way to approach it, and I'd rather lose weight at a slow, steady pace then become sickly.

 My friend yesterday said she only had eaten a banana and an egg, and I realized how unhealthy that was. She has been exercising constantly, may I say over-exercising, and I now want to just be healthy and muscular. I ate a large breakfast until I was full, and I plan on doing the same, and exercising more often. I feel completely healthy and aware of myself. Thank you.

Walking is one of the best methods of excercise! Do not be fooled by the idea of jogging 10 miles! When you run without you're body being ready, your muscles may be injured. As long as your walk is brisk and energetic, there is nothing wrong with that! Try to move your arms as you walk, and maybe put your shoulders back and stick your stomach in. This way you are excercising your whole body! You can even walk with a group of friends. I would completely support walking!

I'm 13 (Just turned practically) and here to loose weight, and by loose weight I'd be happy to gain weight but have a leaner, stronger body!

I know my goal is much, much too low, but it gives me all the more reason to work at it!

*I'm probably way behind, but I saw some earlier posts about being the only chunky one in the group, and actually most of my friends are overweight! But they are too insecure to tell the truth...well my one friend is thin but she is 4'9". She's like a dwarf!
