Hi Tyra, First I would like to congratulate you on all of your success and say "You Go Girl". I am a 28 yr old mother of tree and over the last 6 yrs I have gained a bit of weight. Unfortunately, I can go to a gym like I want to being that I work full time and have small children. I am currently a size 14 in jeans/ 12 in dresses, due to my wide hips and booty. My waist measures in at an awful 32.5 inches and booty at 46 in. I was on the Depo shot and went from a size 8 (147 lbs) to 170lbs. I'm 5' 9.5" tall and would like to lose inches on my thighs, hips, waist and big butt..., PLEASE HELP ME. I haven't a clue on what to do.

Hi Tyra, I am 18 years old and when I was 11 I had an extreme eating disorder I was about 4' 6" and 52 lbs! I went to a clinic called the Kartini Clinic in Portland, Or and they sent me to the hospital where I stayed for over two months but while I was there they grouped all of the ED patients together and at 11 they had a lot to teach me about how to better hide my habits and add some new ones. At 13 I went back for about the same amount of time. Only now after 5 years away from the place with my family overseeing my eating have I truly overcome it. I thought it was impossible. I wish there was something I could do or say now to inspire people still in that situation because it worries me that the way in which most treatment centers deal with it is to put all of the ED patients together and while they may be force feeding them all in treatment at home no one is any better, for me it was much worse. If I could say anything to someone with an eating disorder now it would be just to have faith and if you make yourself eat even just to maintain weight for long enough like an addiction it will fade not completely but enough to understand what you are putting your family through.

Hi Tyra and everybody else! My name is Ary and I am from Orlando FL. A year ago I was struggling with my weight to and it was difficult to get back to the way I was until….

Hi Tyra. Sometimes people at school make remarks that I am too skinny or I have an eating disorder and I don't! I I am 13 and 120 pounds. I am five foot seven also. For a little while I started to eat and eat and eat and maybe look a little bigger. Then people started saying I eat like a pig so now I don't know what to do. Adults say that I am fine but everyone at school says otherwise. And on top of that I sometimes feel like I am not as pretty as my friends or anyone else my age. Once again adults say I'm beautiful but its not like they are going to say I'm ugly! And I want to be a model when I grow up and several people say I should when I don't even know them, but with people saying things I feel like it won't matter if I could become a very successful model. Tyra please, please, please, give me some advice! Thank You for listening :)!
