[quote="Metal_Man"]I used to weigh 300lbs but now weigh 170 which is about right for my height. I have celiac disease and once I quit eating gluten the weight came off pretty quick. Overeating is not the only cause of obesity. I have to watch what I eat and exercise which isn't always fun but I'm healthier at 40 than I was at 20. It's not fun being overweight.[/quote]

Eat more protein and good fats, make vegies your friend, eat until you are no longer hungry and not until you are full. Also, eat 5 - 6 small meals a day while maintaining a healthy eating lifestyle. You will want to keep this up in college.
exercise: If time is really an issue than you can do a workout at home (push-ups, squats, pull-ups w/ door jam bar, abs) and some interval training, which blasts fat much faster than lower intensity workouts.

I know exactly what you mean. I never felt fat, that was part of the problem. I didn't even see the fat when looking in a mirror. It wasn't until I saw a photo of myself at 220 pounds (I'm 5'3") that it really sank in that I had a weight problem, and then I couldn't get up the interest to do anything about it.
There's this rock art field school I want to attend that involves a hiking and rock-climbing to get to the site and so I figured if I was going to make it up the side of that hill, I had to do something about the weight. I've been working on my weight ever since and am half-way to my goal. I suppose it's become my newest obsession -- I spend a lot of time researching, learning, reading forums, counting and logging everything, exercising, etc.

Losing weight doesnt work quite the way you would expect. I went through periods when I would lose a lot of pounds but my body would stay the same shape. Then I would stop losing pounds and my body would begin to change shape. If you excercise a lot you will reach a point where you actually gain some weight because of increased muscle mass but you are still shedding body fat. It is a long process but don't stop just because your body is not doing what you expect it to do.

I always think I'm this thin girl who looks great and has a nice butt.. but then I look in the mirror. And then I see how incredibly huge I am, and it depresses me more than just accepting the fact that I'm fat. I lost 50 lbs a few months ago, but because I couldn't see it in the mirror.. I stopped the diet change
I totally know what you're talking about, though.

I held a healthy steady 63-67 kgs from when I was 16 up to 20. I then got really depressed, anti-dpressants helped me put on a few kilos. Then I got really sick and went down to about 55 kgs, I had some stomach problems and was diagnosed with Crohn's disease. I had to take meds for Crohn's and Psych meds and went up to about 87 kgs. My Crohn's settled down so I got to stop taking the stronger meds and I stopped taking the psych meds. I started smoking and my weight went back to about 75 kgs, I quit smoking and my weight went back up to about 88 kgs. I started watching my diet a bit, drank more water instead of eating so much and got a job doing labour so I managed to get my weight to abou 75 kgs. I have put on a couple of kgs now beacsuse it's winter, I want to lose a couple of kgs because my ideal weight is probably about 70 kgs.
I recently got Wii Fit and hope that will help me, I am not as regular as I should be at Wii Fit training.
I guess I am not really the best to give advice.....

Ride a bicycle everywhere you can (or just walk). Take stairs instead of the elevator for any floor below 6 (or even get off the elevator 2 or 3 floors early and take the stairs the rest of the way). Play sports. Doesn't have to be a team sport. Take martial arts. Learn how to row. Take dance lessons. Run. Walk. Swim.
And for goodness sakes, eat healthily! That means nothing processed and no artificial colours/sweeteners/preservatives.

Healthy-self image?
It means you are comfortable with yourself, if you have a good self image it means you are happy the way you are.
I have body dysmorphic disorder which means no matter how thin I am I'm always going to look huge in the mirror to me. I have poor self image.
Oh yeah, now I know what you mean, I'm overweight and I'm okay being that way.

Also, antibodies to gluten can cross-react with the thyroid...when the gluten is out of the diet, the thyroid recovers and energy goes up, weight goes down.

That's interesting - were you overweight when they diagnosed you? I'm overweight and I suspect I have problems with gluten or wheat in general - I have digestive problems if I eat too much bread - but when I went to the doctor to get a celiac test done she looked at me like I was an idiot. Yes, generally if you can't digest food properly you'll lose weight, but there's got to be a stage while celiac is still developing where you're just sensitive to gluten, not necessarily full-out "allergic".
Very few doctors in North America even know what celiac is so don't waste your time trying to get an official diagnosis. My doctor told me that I know far more about celiac than she does. Since doctors can't write a prescription for celiac they really don't want to know about it. The best way to tell if gluten is a problem is to not eat it for six weeks and you will notice a difference if it is. For me it only took a week and I felt like a completely different person. check out
www.celiac.com
for more information. Sometimes when you body is reacing to something it doesn't like you will reatain water and store up excessive amounts of fat. Tha is why I weighed so much. Once the offending toxin was out of my body it quit storing extra water and fat.

Not always. But mostly I feel skinny, until I see myself in a reflection, bend over or try to fit in a tight space, or overeat and feel stuffed.
People say you feel skinny because the muscle tissue is under the fat, not over it.
The strange thing is that when I was skinny, I felt fat most of the time.
