Lotty Shaw

I'm 5'6, 115 pounds and 17. I am nearly underweight but every time I look in the mirror all I see is fat, and lots of it! A few months ago i weighed 135 pound and hated it so I started the abc diet and exercised 6 days a week. Im still doing that now but even though ive lost 20 pound I'm still fat! Even my boyfriend didnt believe me when i told him that i had lost 20 pound! He thought i had lost less then that cos i dont look like im nearly underweight. Can you been nearly underweight and fat? Im so confused! I just want to be skinny! I no im not hugely fat cos my collar bone sticks out and you can see the outline of my rib cage but my legs are huge and so is my stomach!

So today I have eaten baked beans on toast (2 pieces of white bread and half a tin of beans) and I have done 1 and a half hours of powerwalking. I am going to have half a bag of a vegetable stir-fry for tea (30 calories) and I'm going to jog on the stop for 10 minutes. What is my net total of calories? Im meant to have 500 calories today. So how many calories have i eaten and how many have i burned? Im 117 pounds if it helps? Thanks.

Okay so I'm 5'6" and 117 pounds (huge I know). I really need to lose 14 pound by the 16th of october (my 18th birthday) so far I have started the abc diet and I've started exercising for an hour, 6 days a week. I have also turned vegetarian and cut dairy and carbs out of my diet. I know that I'll be underweight but I will finally be a little bit happy with my body! What else can I do to make sure i lose this weight? Please don't judge :-) I just want a nice body. I'm a size 8 at the moment (UK size) and I want to be a size 2-4. I just feel like a fat slob!

Okay so im 5'6 and 118 pound and 17. I really want to lose about 14 pound and before anyone says that i would be underweight but the way i see it, if someones unhappy with there weight then you should lose some, even if it means that they're going to be underweight. So far i have started the abc diet and started exercising for about an hour everyday, i will up it to 2 hours a day in a couple of weeks. Is there anything else i can do? Its my 18th birthday next month and i want to look my best. Please dont tell me that i dont need to lose any weight or anything cos in my mind i do. Thanks for the help :-)

I have a fear of gaining weight and when i do i feel really upset and broad about it for the rest of the day. I go through stages with my eating, for a few days i will just binge eat then for a week i will basically starve myself so i dont put any weight on. I think im fat even though people tell me im not ( im 5'6 and 118 pounds and 17 years old) is this the start of an eating disorder or what? I tend to do loads of exercise when im not eating as well or if i do eat anything i make sure i burn all the calories. Help!

Im going on holiday in 6 days and i know what im going to be on my period soon (my breasts have got bigger, im craving junk food ect) i really dont want to be on my period whilst on holiday! I have the contraceptive implant but i was on the pill before and still have some left, would taking them again prevent my period? I would stop taking them once i got back off holiday. Will this work? I do use tampons but i dont want to have to use them on holiday. Would it be better to start taking them tomorrow on when i actually come on?

I really want to loose some weight but i dont want to be to skinny. I currenty weigh 120 pounds. How much should i weigh?

So today i have eaten: 3 crackers with 1/4 of a tea spoon of butter on each 1 packet of salt and vinegar disco crips 2 small burgers in a bun. Drink: 2 black coffees with no sugar, 1 litre of water, 1 glass of champagne. Ive eaten way to much today :( so, how many calories have i had today?

I am currently 121 pounds and 5'6". My measurements are:

bust: 34DD

waist: 26"

hips: 34"

Dont tell me that my body is perfect because it isn't! How much weight do I need to lose ro have the perfect body? (to me the perfect body is having bones showing, my coller bone shows a bit but not much and my hip bones show when I lay down) I'm aiming to lose about 6 pounds in 3 weeks, will this allow me to have my perfect body? In my eyes in really fat so please help, cheers. No rude comments please.

I'm 5'6" and 122 pounds. I was wondering if i'm at the best weight for my height? (when I say best I mean at the right weight for my body to be able to fight infections easily ect.) Or do I need to loose/gain weight? ( I don't really want to gain weight, in my eyes I need to loose about 10 pounds but I just want my body to be at it's healthiest). Thanks.

I don't know how much I weigh! I weigh 123 pounds and when I convert it on my phone to stones it says that i'm 8.8 stone but when I check my weight on a converter on the Internet it says that i'm 8.11 stone. Can someone help me please? How much do I actually weigh? According to wii fit I am 56.4kgs. What is that in stone? Thanks.

So today I have eaten:

Breakfast: 1 small apple and a black coffee with no sugar

Lunch: 2 pieces of white bread and butter, half a stick of celery

Dinner: Weight watchers chicken casserole with 1 piece of bread and butter

Drinks: 3 black coffees with no sugar, 1 500ml bottle of ice, 4 750ml bottles of water.

How many calories are in all this? I'm trying to have 700 calories a day or less. Thanks.

For about 6 months now my periods have been really messed up. I will miss 2 periods and then I will be on for a month. But this month it's been different, I came on at the start of the month and then a week later I came off, then a few days later I came back on again and it's been like that for a month now. I had the contraceptive implant put in a year and a half ago, then first year was fine and my periods were normal, now the last 6 months they have been messed up. I haven't changed my diet at all in the last 6 months. I've had my period for 7 years ( I started when I was 10) so it's not just my body getting used to it. What's wrong with me? Should I go to the doctors? Sometimes the blood is normal and red and other times it's a really horrible black colour and really sticky. Please help.

About 2 years ago I fainted and had a fit at my boyfriends for no reason and ever since then my whole life just feels like a dream. I will do something and then later on I will think about what I have done that day and not actually know if it happened or I dreamed it. It's worse when i'm on my own and I really think about it. Sometimes I can be at my boyfriends and be cuddled up to him in bed and it feels like he's going numb at that he's not actually there and that i'm cuddling up to a post in the middle of the street and that his house isn't real and that i'm in someone Else's house or that i'm in an abandoned house and that i'm on my own. What's wrong with me and should I do to the doctors? As i'm typing this my life feels like a dream. I'm 17.

So today I have eaten/drank

Breakfast: black coffee with no sugar

Lunch: 1/4 of a egg, mayo and cress sandwich

Dinner: Roast dinner ( 4 roast potatoes, 100g of veg: carrots, broccoli, cauliflower, peas, brussels sprouts, 2 small yorkshire puddings, 10ml of gravy) (my mum done pork with it, I don't like red meat)

Snacks: 1 Muller light red cherry yogurt.

Drinks: 3 black coffees with no sugar, 1 glass of summer fruits juice, 4 glasses of water.

So how many calories have I had today roughly?

I'm trying to loose weight but I can't quit snacking. I want to loose about 10 pounds. It's normally around 9o'clock in the evening that I start feeling really hungry and start snacking. I normally eat junk food when I snack. I've been on a diet for a few weeks and I've only lost about 7 pound ( I was 132 pound and now i'm 125 pounds) I do try and eat healthily and not go over 1000 calories a day, most of the time I can do it but when I get the munchies I eat double that (I do don't touch any drugs so don't say anything about drugs) right now it's 23:12 and I feel like snacking. What can I do to stop myself from wanting to snack? Also, if I eat 1000 calories a day and exercise for about an hour and a half every day then how long will it take me too lose 10 pounds? Would I still be a healthy weight if I lost 10 pounds? Right now i'm 5'6 and 125 pounds and 17 years old. Can someone tell me how they stopped snacking on a diet? Thanks in advance.

I'm 17. I really need a job and my mum said that the factory's in my town are looking for workers but i've heard that you've got to be 18 to work in a factory. Is this true? I live in the UK.

Okay so I'm 5'6" and 127 pound and I feel like an elephant and look like one to! According to my BMI i'm a healthy weight but I just feel so fat, I really want to lose about 13 pound which would take my weight down to 114 pounds, I don't know if i'll stop there but I think that's a good goal to reach for at the moment. I want to of lost this 13 pound by the 7th on July (i'm going on holiday that day), would I be able to lose 13 pound by then if I eat under 1000 calories a day and exercise for 2 hours? And don't say things like 'you need more than 1000 calories a day otherwise you're body will go into starvation mode and you'll just gain it all back..bla bla bla' cos I already know all that! I'll just have to live on 1000 calories for the rest of my life, I mean come on, 1000 calories is a lot anyway!! Back to the point, would I lose 13 pound by then? Or more? Or less? Or does anyone have a better diet? (and don't say eat 2000 calories a day and exercise cos i'm basically doing that, just slashing my calories in half).

My measurements are:

Bust: 34DD

Waist: 27"

Hips: 35"

(told you I was an elephant!)

So, can anyone help me?

I'm on a diet so to get rid of my hunger I drink black coffee with no sugar and i'm eating a lot less then I normally did. Before I started this diet I only went to the toilet about once a week if that but now I go at least once a day, is it the coffee that's doing this? I have about 6 coffees a day roughly. (When I say going to the toilet I mean having a number 2). If it's not the coffee then what could it be?

I told my mum 2 weeks ago that I was going on a diet and at first she didn't mind but for the past 4 days she's been making me eat fatty food. Yesterday my dad decided to have a takeaway so I said that I will make myself someone else to eat, something healthy so I started making myself a little salad and ate it, my mum and dad went of to the kebab shop and then came back with a pizza for me, even though I had already had a salad, I told my mum that I didn't want it put she just turned round and said that I have to eat it because she brought it for me so I ate half of it just to shut her up and today my mum said that we were having burgers and chips today so I said that I was going to have something else but she said that I have to have the same as everyone else so I agreed to have 1 burger in a bun with nothing else, I was upstairs and she called me down because tea was ready and I had 1 burger in a bun with 2 rations of bacon, a cheese slice and loads of ketchup. I took the bacon out and was going to leave it but I got make to eat it. Was is she doing this? It's not like i'm underweight or anything! I'm 5'6" and weight 125 pounds. Why is she doing this? She knows how much I want to lose weight but she just keeps making me eat junk, it's making me not want to eat anything at all. Also, how many calories would of been in my burger? It was a normal sized burger.
