Weight Loss Tips from the Duchess
The Duchess of York, Sarah Ferguson, travels all across America talking about the importance of healthy eating and sensible weight management with the Weight Watchers program. She is quick to point out that healthy eating is not just for those trying to shed pounds. A well-balanced diet and healthy eating habits are important for everyone in the family.
The Duchess offers these tips for people looking to lose weight:
- Eat a variety of healthy foods, regardless of where you are (what city, what country, etc). It’s easy to follow the Weight Watchers program because you can eat real foods and still stay on track.
- Activity is key: keep it simple. Plan your day around activity. Wake up 30 minutes earlier and get in a brisk walk before breakfast or stretch your legs during lunch.
- Don’t be deprived of the foods you love. Eat your favorite foods, like gourmet cheese (my personal favorite) but be mindful of portion sizes.

Hi Tyra my name is Jolyne. Im 20 years old. I weight almost 400lbs and Im 6'0 feet tall. Im scared of what is going to happen to me over the years. I have been trying to loose weight but whatever I try I can never get to my goal, which is to try to loose about 50 to 60lbs. I also wanted to know if you could help me with my low self-esteem. I get teased and picked on all the time at work and outside of work by many different people because of my size. Thats why I have low self-esteem about myself. When im by myself and when im depressed all I do is eat. I can't really think about anyting else. If you could help me PLEASE!!!
Thanks so much,
Jolyne

Hi Tyra!
I'm 15, weigh 143 and I stand at 5'8. I wanted to know if you were going to have an episode for young teens like myself. Now that would be a blessing for me. But if I don't make it in modeling by the time I turned 18 I'll be seeing you on Americas Next Top Model. But can you send me a few tips on how 2 stay at my weight or if i need to loose some let me know an healthy way how to. Please contact me soon=]]

Dear Tyra,
My name is Tiffany. I'm 19 yrs old and i'm struggling to lose weight. For my height i'm suppose to weigh a certain amount and i don't. I want to lose weight badly. I was wondering if there is a way that u can help me. I become depressed very often because i feel as though that i'm not as beautiful as i should be. I try not to be around people in public because i don't think i will fit in. At times i have been sucidal because of me being over weight. I just wanna be a size 5. I wear a 13-14 depending on the clothing brand. I wanna lose all of this stomach weight and i wish that my thighs wouldn't rub when i walk. So if there is a way for u to help me i would really appreciate it
Love,
Tiffany

Hi Tyra,
I have a problem, I am 21 years old and I love to eat, what I mean is that sometimes I eat when I am not even hungry. I am not a big girl but I am not skinny, I do want to lose weight because sometimes by looking at the mirror I don't like what I see. I go to school and I work so sometimes working out is not an option, Can you or anyone out there help me out with some sort of diet that I can actually keep...
Thanks!!!

hey tyra
i need HELP wit loosing weight ! Loosing weight has been a battle i struggled with for a long time. i eat so much food. i eat when good food is around and when im not hungry when im bored. my portions are big. i love junk food especially CHIPS. I'm about to attend college in the fall. I want a total body makeover that will make me CONFIDENT in my skin and look better in clothes that i would love to wear but don't fit good with my body type. Loosing weight is important because I am a bit overweight, and the way I been eating has caused me to break out. I don't usually get pimples but because of my bad eating habits I am starting to get pimples. I need me a nutritionist and a personal trainer. I am positive that with their support I would achieve my dream body type and be happy with myself. I am 18 years old, standing at about 5'6 weighin in at 160Ibs. I think the perfect HEALTHY weight for me that i want to reach is 130. HELP !!!!!!!

Hi, Tyra.
I know you probably will never read this comment.
Since there is so many.
I just am in desperate need of help.
I weigh 140lbs.
And I have a severe eating disorder.
I hate myself.
And the way I look.
I feel like everyday i get larger.
I need help to learn to love myself.

Dear Tyra,
On your show you talk about people losing weight and how they feel about being overweight. But I was wondering if you've had a guest who wanted to gain weight instead of losing weight. I'm 17 years old, and I wear a size 0 in jeans, some people say I'm okay the size I am but I feel that I need to gain weight...But no better how hard I try I just can't.

Hey Tyra first off I just want to let you know that I love both of your shows especially your talk show. You have so many different topics that so many people can relate to. I think that is awesome, thank you so much for that. But I just turned 18 and I have been struggling with my weight since middle school. I am grown now I want this to be over. I am 5'5 and 205 pounds. Wow did I just say that but yea most of my weight is around my mid section. People tell me that I don't look like i am 205 pounds. My boyfriend is so supportive of me even though he loves the way that my body looks. I tried a number of things but cant seem to find something that works for me. What kind of tummy exercises do you do. Please help me so that I can feel beautiful about myself so that I can see the beautiful women that my boyfriend sees in me

i don't understand how you can tell people that they should be happy and comfortable with their bodies no matter their size while at the same time hosting a show which forces girls to lose weight in order to be considered pretty enough to be models.

Dear Tyra,
I was wandering if 140 pounds for an athletic 18 year old girl who is about 5'6" is somewhat too heavy? Is this the proper weight for my age? If not, then how can I lose the extra pounds. Also how can I make my face look and feel more radient without any breakouts? Thank you so much for your time.

Hey Tyra!
I've been watching america's next top model aswell as your own personal tv show The tyra banks show. Both shows have encouraged me to try and lose weight and pursue my dream in modeling. however, with my hard working schedule and little alone-time i don't get mu ch time to go to the gym or even try to work on my physic. I've been told that i have a strong face and be good in modeling...just the body has become an issue. I would appreciate some quick info on how to stay in shape and maybe even try out for canada's next top model(since i'm in canada).
Thank you

dear tyra,
your show is amazing... I honestly appreciate the topics that are in your show.The topics are things that regular people deal with, especially with the dieting topics. I am 16, and 160 pounds. At this age, weight is a big issue. I tell myself it does not bother me, but when I go into a store and cannot fit into a size large I am devastated. I hope to find a way to loose weight, and I am hoping for your guidance. Thanks for understanding

hey tyra, it has always been my dream to have a stomach like you, i love your pictures, i do things like dieting, exercising, but i still see no results, some day i was hoping to be on America's next top model, it has been a dream of mine, i want to prepare for that day hopefully if it comes, sometimes, i am self concious of myself though people tell me they would love to swich positions with me, are there any special things you do in order to maintain your weight?

hi tyra ive just recently watched your show...i'm 15 and i have ALWAYS been worried about my weight. i saw your show from when you went into the clinic for people with eating disorders. After watching that it has actually helped me when i actually want to purge. i never have but its always ther and there have been manby close calls. i dont know wat to do but i have been eating healthier but i never see my self get any skinnier. but i just want to thank you cause your show has helped me and i see how pretty you are and you dont care what other people think of you and i wish i was as strong as you. =]

Hi Tyra my name is Quanda and i am a huge fan of your's, I have a mother who constantly talks about her weight but havent did anything to change what would be a good advice to give her?

Hi Tyra, I admire you. Your one of my idols. You have accomplished so much and i think thats awesome. I was wondering if i can have some advice. You see i'm 13 years old and I live in a small town in New York. West Point to be exact. I'm 5'3 and I weigh about 170 lbs. It's really stressful. I have alot of things on my mind lately and i'm at the age where popularity is a big thing for me. My dad just passed away in march and i cant sleep, i sometimes end up starving myself, cutting myself when i'm stressed and sometimes i would just throw back up the food. but when i'm happy i eat eat and eat. I live with a new family, and nobody understands or knows what i'm going through or what i do. I do work out, but I get really light headed easily lately. I'm not losing so much weight. Maybe like 1 or 2 pounds here and then but nothing to see the improvement. I dont know what to do, i dont want to get sick but its the only way I can lose weight. please tyra I really need your help. I dont want to be sixteen and weighing 230 lbs. i would not show my face in public. but please tyra. please right back.

Hey Tyra,
I'm a really big fan of your show I watch like everyday, and I think your so beautiful, such an awesome person and an amazing role model. Well anyways, I'm 13 and I'm about 5'6" and I'm kinda heavy for my height and it's really embarrasing for my age and I get called all kinds of different names from ppl at my school and my very skinny sister. At least 7 or 8 times a day I get called names about my weight, and it hurts my felings so much that I feel like I'm not worth living. And I feel like no one likes me because I'm heavy and ppl have told me that and it hurts so much. And if they we're overweight and we're called names, then they'd know how it feels to be treated like I have, and everyone else who gets called names. I just wish for once in my life that I could be accepted by everyone, because all my friends are beautiful and skinny and I'm like the only one whose not. :( So I was wondering if you could give me some help or some tips on loosing weight because I wanna prove to all the ppl who called me names that I can be skinny like they can, and then they wouldn't half to call me names anymore.
Love, Jennifer.

Hi Tyra,
i know u get like alot of these letters everyday and it probably takes u forever to like read them all and then right back. But i just wanted 2 say that i love your show and i try to watch it whenever i can and i think its amazing what u do for lots of people. I am 13, my height is 5'5" and i weigh 165 pounds. I know it doesnt seem like alot and i know there r a whole lot of people with worse weight problems than me, but ive been overweight like my whole life and when i went in to the doctor to get a physical ( cuz u need one 2 play sports in my school) even my doctor said i was over weight and sorry for making this letter so long but ive been tryin to lose weight but i just want to eat all the time and its so hard to stop. my friends tell me im very pretty but i dont feel like it. I work 5 days a week cuz i like 2 help out my moms friend who needs a baby sitter, and i work at a cafe. i do it to keep my mind from eating all the time plus its actually kinda fun to work and that does make me feel better but not about my weight. when i get home from work im just so tired and its hard to not sit on the couch, eat, and watch tv plus i come from a small town in wyoming with only 300 people and it really comes down on me. i dont tell any 1 this cuz i dont want people to take pitty on me. besides no 1 would ever suspect it cuz im a straight A student and am on the honor roll and i play as many sports as i can and they're fun so im just asking u to please give me some tips to lose weight cuz it would mean the world to me. love lexi

Hey Tyra,
My name is Paige I really didnt think I had that much of a weight problem, until my step father said you need to work out more. I am 14 turning 15 in a couple of months im 5'5 and 120 pounds. I cant tell you how bad it hurt me when he said that. I told him I would really try hard and lose weight but he doesnt belive me so I want to prove him wrong and everyone else who dont believe me....because I know I could lose the weight if I had the right help I just havent found it yet! I have been made fun of many times about my weight but I really dont let it bother me until someone I love tells me that...so if you dont mind I would like to hear a few tips!

Hi Tyra,
I just want to let you know I enjoy your show….I am 19yrs old and am turning 20 on July 11th; right now I attend Johnson & Wales University in North Miami fl and my major is criminal justice. I can't believe it came to the point that I have to express myself to someone else, which is something I have a problem doing because I don't think anyone would understand where am coming from and how I really dislike myself. So Tyra am writing you hoping you would understand and help me out. Growing up as a little girl I’ve always had a weight problem, now it came to a point that am overweight about 60 pounces. I am 5’1 and I weight 199, right now am on a diet taking pills and a shot and am so ready to give up. Am not one of those girls that is just overweight, I don’t think am pretty and plus I have a gap that I dislike very much. Sometime I feel like why I am here, am just picking up space. No one really knows cuz I just keep everything inside in put a smile on me face. All my friends are all slim and am just the big one in the group sometimes I don’t even like going out with them, cuz all the guy always try to talk to them. Everybody is always on my back, oh you so big, oh you this, oh you so that, make me feel even better about myself, you know what I mean when I say better and this is my family telling me this… I don’t want to be skinny I just want to get rid of my gut, some of my arms, and legs. Tyra thanks for listening to my story. Hope to hear from you soon..
love,
Taherah

Hi Tyra:
I just love your show.
I'm 5'1 and weigh about 190lbs. I'm 25 years old at one time I was active but now it seems like I can't make myself or I don't have the energy to work out. So I have gained a lot of weight. I know it a eat healthier and work out I can lose weight. But I live a very busy life style. Its easier to just glad something quick. And eating healthier cost more so sometimes that gets in the way. Can u give me some tips on how to lose weight with my busy life style? Thank u so much

I read somewhere, that with in the last thirty years, the number of overweight girls, ages 2 to 5yrs old has doubled, 6 to 11yrs old has tripled and for ages 12 to 19yrs old, when most young ladies are going through puberty, being overweight has more than tripled.
As parents, it is our responsibility to teach our daughters how important it is to eat healthier and exercise more. It is not about being thin, but being in good health. We should never call our kids fat, instead we should teach them that people of all sizes are beautiful. Being healthy is what is most important.
If we start early, leading by example, we will have a much better chance teaching good eating, exercise and living habits to our children!!
In order to teach it, you must learn it…the lesson starts with you mom!!
At VassarMagazine.com, we consider wellness to be a dimension of health beyond the absence of disease or infirmity, including social, emotional and spiritual aspects. Not only do we focus on building a stronger you physically, but we also look at building a stronger you both mentally and emotionally.

Hi,
Wow, where do I begin. I am a recently divorced mother of two beautiful girls. Ages 15 and 8. I thought I would be married forever. I am 5ft 7 and my current weight is 245lbs. I have two main issues I guess you could say. My first being my weight. Second is I am very concerned about my physical appearance. I don't think that I am that attractive to men. Sometimes I fix myself up to shere i I believe I look really nice. But then when I leave my home and am around others. The thrill is gone sorta speak. I don't look very good in my clothes due to my size, plus I just don't think I am that attractive. I have been trying to deal with this on my own for sometime now, but now that I am divorced for the second time. I'm beginning to wonder. Is there any advice that you could give me to help me to feel more beautiful. For myself first, then to others.
Signed,
The ugly duckling
Posted by: Tanya | June 20, 2007 4:48 AM
Tyra, you impress me.
You have grown into a woman that is not obsessed with being thin; instead you embrace your body. Regardless of ridiculous criticism, because you do look great!!
You have stepped out and let it be known that you are healthy, happy and sexy!!
People tell me all the time I am confident, and out going. I fluctuate between a size 12 and size 14…
I have never been thin, and for a long time I was very unhappy about it.
Once I matured and I learned to really love myself I realized how beautiful I am. I exercise to feel good and to be healthy, not to try and get thin. It is an impossible goal that will only make me unhappy. I love who I am and how I look!!
I still have friends who are unhappy because they believe that thin is pretty and thick is not.
I beg to differ, and I want to thank you for doing the same.

Hey Tyra,
My Name is Veronica and I am 18years old.From Paterson,NJ.I am writing to you not because I want to be on your show.But because I would like you to help me.I have a 1year old daughter and I live with my fiance which is her father.He is 21.Were both very young.But my problem is that I dont have enough support or enough confidence to do what I want to do.Which is loose weight.Yesturday I was seeing your show and it interested me the things you said to these women.You lifted their spirits and that is what I admire about you.But I am too young and I weigh around 160lbs I dont think a girl my age should weigh this much.I do not think it's healthy for me.I got like this after I gave birth.Before I got pregnant I use to be skinny I wasent a model but I was skinny and I felt good about myself.Now sometimes I dont even feel like leaving my house.And Im going to be very honest with you.Sometimes I don't want to take my clothes off infront of my boyfriend.I get embarassed.I feel disgusted with myself.I want to reach this goal that I have wanted for so long which is getting on diet,exercising,loosing weight,and feeling good about myself.I do not want to let myself down.I want to able to think positive but I can't.When I met my daughters father I was skinny and I ate whatever I wantd to eat and it didn't effect me like it does now.And I don't understand why.I really really would appreciate it if you took some time to read this.And if you could please find it in your heart to help me.I dont want to stay this way and I dont want to gain more then what I weigh now.I need help.

Hey Tyra
My name is Amber, I am 17 years old and i weight about 250bl plus. My whole life i've dealt with being overweight. From sense i can remember i've always been talked about, it has never stopped. Every day i look at myself as being fat. I call myself fat all the time. I hate feeling this way. I try over and over again to lose weight but its like im incapable of doing so.
Bcause i am the size dat i am, it has stop me from doing alot of things, because i feel as if i do something where i have to be in front of people they are going judge me saying things like "look and dat fat girl".
I've never cried about being over weight, but it has created a lot of anger in me. I'm always mad about something and most of my anger comes from me being a big girl.
Tyra i need help, i really do and i feel dat u can be the one to help me.

Dear Tyra,
I know that you probably get emails like this a lot, but I am 16 5'2 and weigh about 130, its not that big of a deal but in a way it is, so much has happened lately that I need help. Just recently my family moved right before my senior year, my boyfriend and I broke up about 2 weeks before, I have always struggled with my weight. About 2 years ago I lost 30 pounds and then I had some friend problems and I gained some of it back. I need to loose about 20 pounds. I love my family and my parents but they tell me that I need to watch my weight and I understand that they love me and just want me to be healthy but after telling me so much, it gets hard to keep hearing it and it makes me want to eat more. I have been pretty secure with myself for the past year but since about february I have become a little insecure. I haven't even said everything that has happened in the past fw months on this comment but i am so overwhelmed. Please help me, I start running and exercising but I think it is my determination that has a problem. I love your show, you inspire so many women all over the country. You make them feel like they are worth something and they are, every woman is.

Dear Tyra
hello I am 15 years old and my current height is 5'1 and I weigh about 230 lbs. I am extreamly overweight and Im afraid Im on the road to becoming morbidly obese. The reason why Im writing this letter to you to see if you could help me lose this weight that is becoming a huge burden over my entire life. Since I was a kid (age 10 to to my current age 15) I have been a little over weight and now its gotten completely out of hand. My mother always tells me to cut back on the eating excercise more. Its just not working. I have streach marks on most body which includes my arms, shoulders, back, thighs, and butt. I cant stand to look at myself in the mirror and see what I have become. When i was younger i used to get teased so much i would go home crying. Now that im in high school its not as bad but its still hurts to have people make jokes about my weight say mean things about me to face. Iam an emotional eater. Food is what makes me happy but its taking over my life and I may be putting myself in an early grave. So Tyra could you please please please help me lose this weight.

Dear Tyra,
Hi, my name is Ashley and i'm 18 years old. I'm writing because I have a problem and I can't handle it any more, I don't know what to do. I'm always so embarassed. The main problem i have with my self is that i think i'm fat. I feel discusting and i'm so unhappy with my self. I have so many strech marks and i'm all jiggly. Ok the thing is if you were to ask any one who knows me if they thought i was fat they'd say no and that i'm beautiful, but no one has been able to get me to believe it. I weigh about 135 when i used to weigh 115.I haven't been swimming with out wearing a pair of shorts over my swim suit since I was in the 6th grade. I've put on so much weight since then and now i'de do any thing just to get back to that weight. I have tried just about every thing. From exercizing, lifting weights, diets, to not eating anything for days at a time.Some of the things i've tried helped some but not enough. I don't know what else I can do. But I do know that i'm sick of feeling this way about my self. Tyra, do you think you can help me?

Hi Tyra
Im 17 years old and as far as I remember I have been overweight. I would lose some weight but either still be overweight or I would just gain them back. All of the women in the family are heavy. The smallest person is a size 18 at about 210lbs and she is my age. I've been wanting to lose weight more and more the older I get. I want to eat healthier, but it isn't that cheap and we have problems paying the rent on time. I have been working out more and taking in fewer calories, even though i have never been a heavy eater. I basically eat what we can affort and most of the time it isnt great for the body. I was wondering if you can help with any suggestions on how to lose this excess weight. Im at a size 22 and my goal is at least a size 14 or very close to it.
I really need your help.

Hello Tyra! My name is Lisa and i am turning 18 in November 8/2008 i enjoy your show, it has inspired me in many different ways! Well thats not what this is about. Growing up i was the skinny child in my family. I was always the cute one, i got the guys instead of my sister in the pre-teen years. The past 2 years i have moved from my hometown to a new city because my sister needed my mother to help her with money and a place to stay for college and my bestfriend had just died and i needed to get away from the memories for a while. I have made no friends, i do nothing but sit at home. I tried plenty of diets, and even diet pills. I started going to this new school and i still met no friends i walked around getting all these strange looks and such. It made me extremly depressed i had to drop out of school. Then i am recently realizing i have gained almost 70lbs! I used to weight 120 and now i am to scared to weight myself, but my guess is 190ish. My mother and i went shopping for pants before, i used to take a size 4 so i took a size 6, that did not fit me, i tried a size 8 and it still did not fit, i cried right there when i couldnt even get my leg in the pants, finally i got a size 9 and they were tight but i wasnt going to do nothing more. Now i take a size 11 and it seems i cant control it, i am almost 18 and i am to graduate this year. Tyra help me loose weight and look sexy to make friends in school and to not be ashamed of taking my graduation picture! Please! I hate the way i look and it is stoping me from everything. I wont go out, i dont have friends to go out with anyway, i wont go to school, i dont have a current job, i dont do anything but sit in my house and come visit my boyfriend! Even he is realizing i am getting fat and i want to stop it before it changes me in a bad way! I went to a gym not to long ago and seen a scale, i tried to push myself to step on it but i couldnt force myself to, it hurt me inside. I dont want to know the monster i have become!! Please Tyra! I really need your help! Nothing helps me! I tried diets, i took pills, i went to gyms, i have done everything and nothing worked. It seems all i do is sit at home and even sometimes cry myself to sleep. I try to talk to my mother about this but i am scared she will not like the way i think about myself. Because as growing up i was the one always confident and sexy! But now that seems it has faded away and is hiding somewhere. My intire family is now over weight but when it truly hit me i was overweight was when i finially seen my father in a few years was i was at my aunts house, i never spoke to my father since he left my mother when i was little, well i was at my aunts house and my father and his girlfriend (my aunt) walked in the room with him and looked at me and said "Wow, Lisa you are getting fat arent you?" That made me feel like i was nothing! I felt all my insides rip out of me and run down the road! I know i can run after them, but i need help! I want to feel and look sexy again! And i want to get rid of all my strech marks and not be so scared of wearing my cute binkini's again!! HELP! Please!!

Hello Tyra.
I just want to tell you that I think you're a great role model. At first I was sceptical because modeling is so superficial, but I've notised that you have so much depth and strenght, and a very sensitive side that I love.
You've actually made me interested in modeling, I just doubt that I have the potential to do it. But it's a dream that's groing inside and I'm starting to feel a little drawn to it.
Anyway, love what you do.
Take care! XXX Regina, Sweden

Dear Tyra,
I am 14 years old and my height is 5'0 and i weigh 166 lb. I usually lose some weight during the summer when i go on vacation but when i come back i gain it back and i am going to enter high school and i want to better my health. I love myself and the way i am but i do mind not being healthy. Even though i try it's hard for me to get active because i am really shy and I am afraid of what people think( i actually cant believe im writting this but i do need the help). Please if you have any tips for me can you please send me an e-mail.

Hi Tyra! My name is Cherlyn. I’m 16 years old and I'm overweight for my age(218). Overweight runs in my family on both of my parents side. I'm trying to change my weight size while I'm young because to me the older I get the hard it is and the more I just want to give up. I’ve been the same size for the past 3 (maybe more) years. I’ve always dreamed of being a smaller size. I don’t really look over weight because of my height but my belly is big. My belly is my main problem. I’m going to be a senior this up coming school year and I want feel confident. I have low self-esteem. During the school year I walk about a mile every school day to my mother’s job, but that doesn’t cut it because of what we eat. And during the summers I try to eat right but I don’t get enough exercise. Can you please give me some tips of exercise and right food that will help me accomplish my dreams?

Hi Tyra! I just wanted to start off by saying you are my inspiration that drives me to become the type of person you are today. I have been overweight my whole life. I am 5'3 and a half and i weigh 165lbs. When i was in grade 8 i lost 20 lbs but ever since iv been re-gaining and re-losing. I am not happy with my body and my dream would be to be as confident, happy and healthy with my self as you are. As of today Iv been eating healthier but Im afraid of bouncing back into the yo yo dieting routine like the past... can you please help?..
Posted by: Lacey | June 5, 2007 7:58 PM
Dear Tyra,
I am a 16 year old female and i weigh about 215 pounds. I am not a big girl but that is only because of my height. I am about 5'9" and i am just thick because of that. I hate not being in shape and being ashamed of my weight and not in control. I want help with how to get it under control becuas ei hate the way my body looks, i never leave the house without a sweater to cover my stomach. I dont think that i am unattractive i just think that my body is horrible. Can you please help me!

Hi tyra,
I love watching your show it hits home every time. I always have tears in my eyes. I love the fact that you always want to help everyone feel better about the way they look or the way they feel inside. I get tears just thinking about this. I would like to have some advise from you about how to have a happier outlook when it comes to my family and my self. I am not a "big" girl but I am between a 14-16 size. I dont like the way I look and want to look better for my self and my husband. He has never said one word to me other than I look wonderfull, but I know inside I am not the same as when we were married. I have had two children who are now 2 1/2 and 3 1/2. I have tried going to the gym at work and tried the workout chanel at home but I get so mad because I am not able to enjoy it to where I look forward to doing it. I have been on meds for depression and have taken my self off of them because I don't want to depend on a pill to be happy around my family and we also are unable to afford them right now because I am on dissability from work due to getting ill last november. I have had one growth removed from my vocalcords and now am in speech therapy to get my voice back. I work in a call center and am not able to return to work untill I can speek in my normal voice. I just feel at my witts end from not being able to talk in a normal mannor to my children or my husband. The weight,the voice problem, the stress of being at home full time are just so hard to deal with. I have a councler to talk with but.......... I just want my happyness back. I don't know how to get back their. It is hard to raise two toddlers when I am sad or angrey all the time. Please if you have any thoughts or advise I could really use it. Thank you for being a wonderfull and sharing person. The lady who said you are an angel is right.

I would like to try that diet, but I was wondering if I could recieve more specific information on what to eat. All my life I have struggled with my wieght and I recently graduated from college and I am working on my Master's. With this new change and accomplishment, I would like to have a new body. Please help me in anyway you can.
Thank you,

Hi Tyra,
My name is Roshana Im a 20yr old young lady. I graduated from high school three years ago and I've gained a tremendous amount of weight. Im 5"2 and I weigh 180lbs Im really uncomfortable with my body right now. Every diet I fail, but lately I've been eating less portions and leaving sodas alone and exercising 5days a week. My 21st birthday is in October hopefully I can stay motivated and be near my target weight which is 140lbs. Im very top heavy but my bottom half is skinny so it looks very out of shape and I cant stand it.

hi tyra i think you're are way too 2-faced. the reason for you show is self gratification and recognition. get over it. oh, and stop trying so hard to prove everybody that u're not fat. no body cares.

Hi Tyra,
Am maureen from Nigeria. I have watched so many of your show and I must tell you that God is using you. Keep it up. I wish you the best and God Blessings Amen.
Please if there is anyway you can assist me with a job or otherwise I will be gratiful.
Most times I wish I leave close to where you are, as I have seen you helping people. Am only but a poor girl from a poor family. And has suffered heart break just like other girls you have helped. I would be glad of there is anyway you can help me. Am a hard working girl that I know.
May God continue to help you as you carry on with your good work
Bye

Ms. Banks I don’t know if you will actually read this but Hey, I will attempt to release this positive vibe in the atmosphere in an attempt it will touch someone’s heart. I feel for all the millions of Americans who suffer from weight issues, and or what obstacle holds us all back.. I myself am a Fitness Trainer who teaches Martial arts.. I empower people with the YES I CAN attitude and use motivation to help them reach their goals. I remind people that no one really over eats… they just don’t move enough… They is a plethora to the ideology and the vision I have for we live in a instant world meaning we want things now instant coffee, instant mail, instant photos, even instant gratification, patience is almost an nonexistence attribute. Have me on your show. And in just a 15 minutes your audience men and women will leave with the tools that they too can and will be successful

hi tyra. i'm christina. i just started watching your show recently and i seriously have been lifted..corny i know but its the only way to describe it. your confidence and your beauty is just unbelieveable. the way you make girls feel about themselves and what you do for others is so amazing i can barely get over it. my favorite episode of all time was the "SO WHAT?!" one. you are so great! i have a lot of friends and a lot of people that i can talk to but i cant really express myself to them fully. they dont understand me that well. i love them all to death but idk i just cant find anyone who really understands and listens to me. thats why im turning to you. i have never met you obviously...some day i wish to do so...but i feel like you are the only one who can help me. all my good friends are skinny and pretty and perfect. i guess you can say im average weight..my friends say im skinny but i do not believe them..they are just saying it to make me feel better..but i know the truth. i own a mirror. all i want to do is be skinny for the summer. im not social bc of my weight. its killing me and my life. i dont like to be seen a lot. i wear big shirts and sweatshirts at the beach and my friends tease me. i know they dont mean it but it hurts you know? my legs are skinny and muscular and fine but not my stomach and my core. its flabby and my belly button is so werid! and i have the one thing on my body i hate most...i call it my boob flab. its that bunch of fat under my boobs that makes me look fatter than i am. i just need help..a way to shed the pounds but be healthy at the same time. thats what your show has taught me. not to do it the unhealthy way..like making yourself throw up..which ive tried and it does not work. ive tried not eating. i tried that for a while but it just made my life a living hell. i was grumpy and miserable and just not me. i still do that from time to time becuase nothing seems to work for me. please help me tyra. please.

Hello Tyra, my name is Amanda and i have been overweight my whole life. I need some help or some advice on how to lose weight. i have tried every diet that has been on the market. There are times when my friends want me to go out with them and i want to so bad, that i get excited then when it comes down to it I make up some excuse not to go. The reason i use is that i am tired, but it is really becasue I feel and look nasty. I feel like i might become a hermit becasue I always turn my friends down...Please help!

Hey Tyra. I've always been underweight but when I began College, I gained 30 pounds in one year! My eating habits really changed. I would skip meals or eat very late at night while studying. I'm trying to lose weight now, but nothing seems to work! I was hoping that you had some tips? I also forgot to mention that I took one dosage of the Depo Provera shot (lasts 3 months). Could that have been a contributing factor? My thighs and arms are huge now. I'm only 5'2 and weigh 136 lbs. HELP!! I want my self confidence back... :(

I need someones help. Big time. I'm 15 and a little over 300 pounds. I need help. My mom has me on the Atkins diet, but it's so hard for me, because I still want to be a teenager and have a little of what teenagers have, does anyone have ANY ideas for a good diet or weight-loss plan for me? I really need help. My family has a history of heart disease and diabetes and many have died from it. I don't want to end up that way.

Hi Tyra. This is actually the first time I've ever been on your website. I watch your show every now and again, and after watching the Cosmo episode of your show..I decided to give your site a look. Anywho...I'm only 5'4" and I weight quite a bit. I'm too embarrassed to actually say how much...It's over 160 though..And it's hard to find swim-wear and clothes that I would actually like to wear. I was wondering if you could give me some advice on how to get rid of the weight I want to loose..And I've been big all my life..and I want to make a dramatic change. Please help!

hi tyra im a mother of a 3 year old and i just had a baby 3 months ago and im very young(20) alomost 21. I got pregnant when i was 16 and ended up marrying my babys daddy!!! And im very happy with him and like i said i now have another new baby. my problem is that after i had my first child i obviously had to go on a type of birth control. Ive always been thick but since i started the pill i instantly gained weight, i gained 60 pounds. i took the pill for about 3 years and then i decided to stop which is when i conceived again. Im happy with my family my kids and husband and partially with myself. its been very difficult for me to lose weight. i just started taking walks in the morning and i would like some help on my diet i love bread and pasta!! any tips!!!

Hi tyra,
I just wanted to let you know that the weight loss show really inspired me to get healthy for myself. I have been overweight since the beginning of my teenage years and it has carried over into my adult life. Now that im 23 years old i wanna make a change for me and for the better. I wanna to start truly loving myself. Im going to get braces for my teeth and get the products to start clearing up my skin and just start working on making me healthy, and most of all LOVE me because if i dont who will! I just would like to thank you for showing that everyone can be healthy and that its not just for skinny people even if your Plus size you can still be healthy and faboulous.

I am just commenting on the show that aired today (May 31,2007)about "Diet War". I have great confidence in Ian Smith because I see the great success stories from Celebrity Fit Club. The other women that were helping people lose weight did not agree with him and did not think he knew what he was talking about but he is doing something right because I seen it happen and I know he is going to win!!!!!!

Tyra just saw you on the cover of Life Style, you look great, I thought you looked great with your extra 30 lbs on. I have to wonder, your weight obviously bothered you , if it didn't you wouldn't have lost those extra pounds. I'm only saying this cause I am struggling with my weight gain. People won't let me enjoy this new body, isn't that horrible for me to say, I should'nt care what others think about me espically at this age. Obiviously it bothers me if it didn't I would be able to embrace my new look. Like you my weight gain isn't unattractive, I went from a size 3-5 to a size 9--14 depending on the cut of the close, I'm also tall. My friends went through this after getting married or having children, I'm going through this 21 years later. I don't know how to handle ignorant remarks. I'm not that big, I am muscular and now have a stomach and luv handles which I hate oh yeah can't forget the big boobs...lol. I realize that my insecurities are taken over, I hate what its done to my spirit. Last Wedesday I started eating healthy and exercising trying not to use food as my comfort, but let me tell you its been real hard especially for someone who's been able to eat everthing shes always wanted. Its sad that the media influences us on what we should look like. I could go on and on, it would be nice to hear from you, I know so would everyone else. Your great, take care of you!!

This comment is for the teenagers that have posted about weight issues. I am 29yrs old now and I have struggled with weight issues from as long as I can remember.
I started popping pills (Dexatrim) and drinking Slim Fast when I was 12 yrs old (at the advice and urging of my parents). Not only was my self esteem completely blown away, but I was absolutely frustrated and thought to myself that something was wrong with me or I was cursed. Everyone at school ate junk all day and gained nothing while I was starving myself and gaining weight.
Through the years after that, I had many other issues that were related to self esteem - unhealthy relationships with guys, poor relationships with parents, hating myself and abusing myself. I wanted to let you girls know that your body will do things to you during puberty that you cannot control. Some of us aren't as lucky as the "skinny" girls. But don't hate yourself or torture yourself. There is no simple rule on losing weight. It's trial and error. It's going to be tougher when your body is going through changes during puberty. Do the best you can, don't give up, and above all, love yourself no matter what others may think. How YOU feel about yourself makes a huge difference in everything you do - not just how you look. You do NOT have to look like a stick to be able to love yourself. If you change your attitude about how you feel about yourself, you may be surprised at how much you can achieve in life.
I did not find a diet that worked for me until I was nearly 23 yrs old. I still have my ups and downs all the time, but when I gain weight, I don't feel bad about it or ashamed anymore. I simply know that I've had a little too much fun with food lately and that I need to go back to eating regularly. My diet has become the regular way I eat. Point is, don't look at a diet as a means of punishing yourself for something. Look at it as something no different than changing a habit or brushing your teeth an extra time a day. You just do it cuz it makes you feel good. And just an fyi, when you get older - guys will grow up and value you a little more for what you have on the inside than on the outside. You wouldn't want to be around shallow people anyway :)

Hi Tyra,
Well, i just joined Weight Watchers @ Work and I lost 6.2 pounds my first week!!! I was so suprised when I stepped on the scale today. I can honestly say that it does REALLY work.
Posted by: Kellie | May 30, 2007 2:26 PM
Heyy Tyra!
I just finished watching your show today.I diddn't catch it the first time it aired.It was on "On what have you allways wanted to do". Those girls that came out with you are deffianlty speical.I remember one of the girls saying that she had lupus.I am a dancer and my friend(also a dancer) got diagnosed with lupus.She kept having to miss dance is get needles in her knees and try to keep the inflamtion down.She says it's really painful and it is hard to ever walk sometimes.Currently she wears a knee brace but then she gave up her talent as a dancer because of this disease. ALthough it is really hard for her to dance she manages to cope with the pain taking alot of pain killers. She is only 15 years old. I think her mom has it and it got passed to her. I really feel for her because all of the teachers at my dance studio and her friends would get mad at her for not comming to dance.But I stood up for her and said she cannot help it.
I think every child is beautiful even if they are a little different.In my high school there are these kids called "DC kids" which are developmentally challenged kids.I see people always staring at them and laughing as they walk away. They should deserve the same respect as us.One teacher told me he would avoid them because he diddn't know how to react with them.He told us now he is ashamed of that and now he interacts with them all the time. For my music class we are having a concert just for them. They will get to feel they they are normal as everyone else.
I really always enjoy your shows .They really touch me deeply.I know right now you are taking a break because i called your ticket show line.I think you are beautiful person and a huge role model to me.I am going to LA for 4 days and I hope I run into you.I doubt it tho.. LA is pretty big.I would just love to come to your audience but you have to be 18 years old.. am only 15, and 16 in 3 months.I really sad that America's Next Top Model. It was great! I am going to keep the People's Magazine with you on the front forever to remind myself that you are beautiful no matter what anyone else says.Sometimes I think my tighs are fat. But really I was just like you when you were little. I am about 5"6 and a half.. much shorter than you are now.People said to me get some food in you. I was like I do eat alot for my size... My friend is about 5"9 and she looks like a model.People always make fun of her because they say she is too skinny. But she was like I try to eat more to gain weight.I was like Jocelyn remember Tyra? People always used to make fun of her but she managed to push through it.So I try to encourage her that she is fine the way she is. I will always treasure that peoples magazine and hopefully get you to autograph it.. and remember what a beautiful angel you are.One Day I hope to meet you.Thank you so much Tyra for making us girls still feel beautiful.ohh 1 more thing! CANADA'S NEXT TOP MODEL IS ON TONIGHT! SEASON PREMIER I AM SOO EXCITED!!PLEASE PLEASE APPEAR ON IT.
Brittany(Canada)
NOW IT'S OUR TURN .. CANADA'S NEXT TOP MODEL AIRS TONIGHT ! WHO WILL BE CANADA'S NEXT TOP MODEL???

Hey Tyra,
I wanted to say hi and that I love your shows..especially America's next top Model. Well I am 19 years old and I weigh 160 lbs. but I was wondering what foods are good to eat to avoid a poofy stomach or foods that are good for energy but are easily digested. I just want to lose 5 lbs and then maintain it, but its so hard to lose or maintain weight since I've lost close to 70 lbs already. I just want any advice and also good work outs to tone the body...

Hey Tyra, I recently starting excercising and eating better; although I haven't lost much weight yet, I'm feeling great on the inside! I'm 22 and my weight is 235lbs. I saw your recent show where people had lost a lot of weight but they still had a ton of left over skin. I was wondering what can I do to help PREVENT all the extra skin?

Tyra, (Its erica again)
I was reading through all these young girls who posted before me.. they are saying that they are 5'0" and 160 or other things like that, I would love to photograph them and help them realize they are still beautiful and that they are perfect, I hate to hear these girls wanting to be skinny like Paris or Lindsey, I would love to reach out and help these girls and say look you are so beautiful, dress in clothing that is your size and put a little makeup on and hold your head high cause you are so beautiful and you are perfect the way you are! I want young girls to realize that cause it took me so long to realize that and I am so much happier now that I know that about myself, even though my own mother makes fun of me for being bigger than her I know I am beautiful and I want to bring that to other young girls!

Wassup! I just want to first say that I'm a big fan of your talk show and America's Next Top Model.
Anyway, I have a hug issue with my weight that I can't seem to fix. I have tried so may diet and excercise plans that haven't been working at all. My weight now is 160lbs. and I'm 5'2 in height. I want to go down to a healthy weight at least 130-135lbs. I know that it all started when I lost my job. I just began to get real depressed and eating everything in sight. Please, Tyra help a sista out.

my name is shelby. in all of the posts above are probably older woman, well im not even a teenager yet! im 12 yrs old and i weigh about 160lbs. ive tried going on diets but they just dont work. my mom and my friends tell me im pretty,and im not fat, but i know they are just being nice which i think is mean, telling me im something im not. and the worst part of this is guys at skool call me ugly and fat, they even call me a guy!! it hurts my feelings a lot right now in my life because i was teased about being fat ever sence 2nd grade! i treid to go bulimic and anorexic but it never worked because my mom and dad made me eat dinner every night. if u could put up diets for teenagers it would really help!!!!!!!!!!!!

I am a very beautiful girl and i have a very high self esteem but the only thing is i have beeen trying to loose weight since i was 12 years old. my tummy is very big and i need to get it reduced to the normal size, which is what every girl is supposed to have in my country now a days. I am a very used to be a very smart chld but i have been struggling with problems in my family and this have affect my school studies. It has also caused me to do certain thing that i am not supposed to do . I wish that there could be something i can do about it.

hey tyra.
i love your show though im only 14 this year. i find that it's very insipiring and it helps people regain self confidence and self esteem.
to be honest, i lack alot of confidence. ever since young, i've been an overweight child. dealing with my weight isnt easy. and i tend to be very demoralised when i see other skinner girls. my friends tend to give those girls praise like how pretty they are or how nice their hair is. i never get praised or positively commented, even my sister puts me down.
sometimes, i dont go out often because i dont have clothes to wear. many clothes make me look and feel fat. i also do not want to go out with my friends, who are all very slim. sometimes, i just feel like dying cos of frustration.
im really insipired by your show. through it, i managed to understand that there's more to me than how i look and how much i weigh. there's still more important things inside me apart from looks.
thank you tyra. you're my idol, my role model. :D

Hey Tyra Girl,
Let me start off by saying that i am a fan of course. But i am 22yrs old and i have a 1yr old son. When i was pregnant i weighed 151 my whole pregnancy. Then after i had him i dropped to 141. Well that weight lasted for about 2mths after he born. Then suprise suprise here comes tina the talking tummy. I am now probably 175-180 not really sure and i am 5'4,but i do know that i am overweight. i have tried everytthing. i have probalby spent too much money on weightlost products that have lead to no results. I am just asking for some wonderful words of advice on how i could shed these pounds off without having to spend too much more money that i know i dont have to spend on this. Thanks for your time.
Smooches!

Hi Tyra...my name is Angelica. Recently Ive been worried about me weight, actually worrying about my weight is all I do. Im always judging other girls and wishing I was as thin as they are. I gained some weight since Ive been with my boyfriend, like always going out to eat and now Im seeing the results. Ive tried not eating and only drinking water and it worked and I lost ten pounds. But now Im just stuck and I need some advice as to what I should do to get good and healthy results and advice on what I should do to get on a good diet! Thanks a bunch...I love your show it's awesome. Love, Angelica*

I'll be one to tell you that the weight loss strategy that this woman is promoting really WORKS. Soon after joining the program, and following it closely, the weight started coming off (15 lbs.) and I noticed the change in my body....so did my hubby... Needless to say...He gave me more attention and well, here comes baby # 2. So the weight's coming back on, but I know to take care during my pregnancy and what to do after so that I regain my shape....

Hey Tyra,
I wanted to comment about that weight watchers program. for some it works. for me it doesnt. Im on the Jenny Craig diet now. im 26yrs old and well thank god trying to maintain my weight. in the past year ive gained about 20-30lbs and i hate that i did. i was with somoene for a year and i think the most that i hate about is that he wasnt supportive to me about my weight. i recently got back with my ex of 5years and i dont think i could ever be happy with him. hes been totally supportive to me and helping me in every way he can. i love watching your show as much as i can. youre a wonderful person and very insprational too. youre not afraid to say whats on your mind. youre beautiful and incredibly hot (if i may add). and i just wanted to say thank you for being such a wonderful woman. Luv You Tyra!

Posted by: kendra | December 13, 2006 9:49 AM
Hey Tyra,
I love your show and I watch it all the time. I'm 15 years old, going to be 16 in January. I'm a pretty girl except, I don't feel pretty because over the past year or two I have gained about 40 pounds if not more! I hate my weight and I feel so fat and ugly, I used to be so skinny and people would constantly tell my how skinny and gorgeous I was. But now im like this fat blimp and I hate it! I also have several other problems which is why I let my self go. I eat weigh too much and I hate veggies and water, and I don't sweat when I work out, I just get over heated so I rarely work out and I don't walk because I've recently gained this huge fear of going places by myself because i dont want to get kidnapped or anything like that, silly i know. Plus I have NO support from my family. But I REALLY wanna lose weight. PLEASEEE EMAIL ME SOME HEATHLY MEALS THAT ACTUALLY TASTE GOOD AND ARE AFFORDABLE OR SOME WORKOUTS THAT REALLY WORK SO I CAN GET RID OF THIS GUT!!

Tyra & Staff,
Please consider me for your show if you should ever have a "Tyra Show Fitness or Weight Loss Club". I'm a single mom and work lots of long hours managing a store. I know I could lose the weight if I had buddies, guidance and support. I put on 30lbs after a break up and entering single mamahood. Weighing in at 165lbs at 5'1. I'm trying to manage it all and I'm doing well with every thing EXCEPT my weight.

Dear Tyra,
Let us start off by saying how much we absolutely love your show! We watch it all the time, and you are such an inspiration to us.
The reason we are writing to you is to ask if you have any weight loss tips for us. We would love to someday compete in pageants. The only thing holding us back from the pageant experience is the swim suit portion of the competition. We don't exactly have the typical pageant body. It would be great if you could somehow get back to us with some advice on how to get that skinny and toned Miss America figure. Thanks!

Dearest Tyra:
I am a 40 yr old woman with two children. I have gained about 60 pounds in the last 4 yrs and it's made me depressed. My husband and I are separated because he chose to be with a younger thinner version of me. I don't know how to gain my confidence again. I have a decent shape but every time I look in the mirror I get more depressed. Can you help me? I realize confidence is within, but my confidence is so hidden I can't find it. HELP!!!!

Dear tyra, I am 29 years old, and I have been battling with my weight for the past 10 years. Everyone remembers me as being this skinny girl growing up, so everytime theysee me, they constantly remind me of what I used to look like. I no longer look that way, and it hurts me and frustrates me. I try to have confidence about me and love me for the way that I am now, but it is so hard, when everytime I look around I am surrounded by beautiful thin females. My weight is now beginning to bother my health and it is becoming hard for me to breath as well as walk these. I am a whopping 260, and this is the biggest that I have ever been. I want to decrease, but I don't know how. I am scared, and frustrated, and I don't know what to really do. I've tried to eat right, but I don't have the will power to keep it going.

Hi Tyra
First, i would just like to thank you for everything you do. you are a great role model to women of any age. basically i have been trying to get into shape and lose weight for some time now. everyone in my family is heavy and struggling with dieting. i have lost 30 lbs thus far but i just cant seem to lose any more. i am not obsessed with looks and purely want to lose the weight to feel good, be healthy and actually feel amazing in my clothes. i have tried working out multiple times and day and restricting myself to 700 cals/day and then tried increasing it to 1300/day. i have been on this plan for ~4 months and have yet to lose even 1 lb : ( i dont know what to do anymore and weight watchers is so expensive. i have two jobs and go to school full time and still struggle with money so paying to diet is not something i can do. do you have any suggestions for me? i fear that if i keep going on without losing any weight i will keep pushing myself to far with exercise. thank you for your time and any advice you can give.
ps. your mom is so beautiful, just like you, and i thank her for bringing you into this world to give girls like me something/someone to look up to. take care and happy holidays!

Hi Tyra. i'm 14 years old. I get told all the time that i am fat. it makes me have low self esteem and i'm really smart. my mom is a lot of support and she tells me i'm not. i weigh quite a bit. i think.... i don't know what to do. if you read this could you please e-mail me back or something because i really need some advice. you are one of my idols. there was a book fair at my school and they had this biography over you and i bought it because i thought it might help me. i haven't had time to read it though because in my family i am the middle child and i feel like my parents revolove around my brother and sister so i don't have time for myself unless i don't have any homework or have to make dinner or anything else. i get to take baths before i get to go to bed and that's like the only time i get to myself and when i'm on myspace. i get on there to talk to my friends because i can't talk to my friends in person after school unless it's on the weekends. i love your show Tyra. sometimes on school nights i'll stay up to watch it to see if i can learn anything because you are my inspiration. thank you for all your words of wisdom!!

Hey Tyra...I was just wondering how you always seem to be so self-confident??? I'm 19, and I have never had any self-confidence. I've always gotten good grades, played on sports teams for school, been some what popular, yet I'm never happy with myself. I recently lost about 30 pounds, but I still don't feel attractive. I get hit on a lot by guys, but this just always makes me feel uncomfortable because I have never thought of myself as being pretty. Can you please help me become more confident with myself?????

HI TYRA i absolutely love your show!

Hi Tyra-
My name is Krista and I am a 24 year old single mom. I lost 100 pounds before i became pregnant and I gained to all back and have been so depressed. I am having a very hard time getting motivated again. I am looking for some inspiration. I did it once and know i can do it again. All my friends and family say I am being too hard on myself because i just had a baby but i guess i am upset with myself for allowing myself to gain all my weight back. So I can definatley understand where girls are coming from when it comes to weight if anyone has any words of encouragement and inspiration feel free to share them with me because i dont know where else to go and what else to do. Depression is getting to me and i feel if someone has something they can share with me to let me know i can do it, it might help me get motivated again. Thanks so much and I love the show Tyra :)

I love the dutchess! I think in her royal standing it would be pretty easy, to become a pretty snobbey person, but she is so down to earth which great to see. I love how she saw her flaws, and embraced the fact that she had something to work towards. Which is why I think the whole planet was proud when she reached her personal goal!

Hey Tyra I love your show I think the advice you offer people is great. I also enjoy watching ANTM. I am 21 and I have a 5mo old son, before I had him I was in shape. I have lost most of it but I am stuck with a slight pooch and a little extra around the hip area. I weigh in at about 103 lbs and I am 4 10 on a good day...yeah I am short. I have called around to gyms but the prices are outrageous! My husband is the only one working at this time and I am in school trying to get a Bachelors in Paralegal Studies and we only have 1 vehicle because we had to give the other on up after I had to go on maternity leave. I had thought about trying those yoga videos but I have never done anything like that. What is Heidi Klums secret to loosing her baby weight? Do you have any advice and what do you think about yoga? I am not saying I am overweight by no means but I just want to get back into my old cloths without having to hold my breath..and I want my old confidence back..Please Help
Thanks a million

Hi Tyra!
Girl...love your show!! You're an amazing woman and I'm very glad that you're keeping it real for your audience and avid fans.
Anyhow...I've been battling with weightgain issues for 19 years. I'm a mom of 4 teens and I still blame my weight gain on my children :)...Sometimes, I'm motivated to do something about it, but by the time I leave work and battle the everyday traffic girl, I'm tired and can't deal with battling with folks at the gym. I'm an attractive 39 year old. I have a thyroid problem and know that the extra weight is the cause of all my medical issues. Hopefully, the upcoming year I can take charge and find the strength inside my body and soul to do something about it because I really want to look and feel better.

My name is Jade, and I am 13 years old and over weight. I weigh about 170 pounds and hate it. People at my school and every where else stare and laugh at me. I have no friends because of this. My graduation is coming up and I don't want to go in a nice dress with a fat stomach. And I also think that my weight affects my self esteem. Boy's don't ask me out or anything. I really like this boy named Maxwell, he knows I like him but I don't think I'll ever have a chance with him. Please Help Tyra=(

Hey Tyra girl,
I just wanted to say I love love love your talk show and antm. They are truely my favorite shows on tv besides csi, lol. Anyways, I think your are a very good role model for young women like myself and I admire the inspiration you have and you give others. I have been to hell and back again and I just got out of a really deep depression, but with your help and my family's I feel the hope to overcome my insecurities and make the best out of any situation that comes my way. I am overweight right now because of my newborn son, and I know how to shed the pounds, but I just dont have the time to plan strict meals and go to the gym, but I want to trim down before the summer. Is there a way to do something very effective but not time consuming? Oh and why are you dieting, your just fabolous and fierce the way you are!!!

Hello, I just wanted to let everyone know that is interested in losing weight that I truely believe that Weight Watchers is the way to go. I have lost 19 lbs in 14 weeks and I love the program. I don't feel deprived at all and I still eat what I enjoy. I suggest it to anyone that is interested in losing. It is a wonderful program and I will continue on it until I get to my goal which is about 14 more lbs. and then I will maintain. It basically comes down to portion control. Try it, you won't be disapointed.

Hello Tyra,
I'm 13 years old, and i weigh 179.5 pounds. I'm trying to lose weight. It's quite difficult. I can't even go swimming in the summer becuz i hate the fact that everybody will be starring at me, becuz of how big i am. I don't even go to my friend swimming parties becuz i hate being in a bathing suit with all my fat. Sometimes i don't even want to to go the mall, and the mall is like my 2nd home, it's getting really bad. Most of the time i cry myself to sleep becuz i wanna be like all the other girls. And not be this big. Then my grad is coming up, and i don't wanna be the biggest girl there. I would love to be like 120 pounds. I really need some help. Please help me Tyra. Bye.
Love,
Britt..

Being a teenager, that's a major issue. What should i do. When itry to go on diets, i cant. I don't know what im suppose to take away, how much to eat, when... HELP ME! I WAS 115, NOW IM 146
Posted by: Jennifer | December 7, 2006 8:52 AM
Hey Tyra.
I'm 18 years old and I've just been reading some of the comments that people have written and it sounds to me like they are whinning about their weight. Let me tell you that about 2 years ago I was not happy with my weight. But after honest hard work, and I do mean hard work like excersing everyday and eating right, I've lost all the weight that I thought I should lose. And just recently I've gained half of that weight back due to emotional eating due to stress. At first I was frustrated because my clothes fit differently and my cheecks got chubby. And after that I was obssessed wih dieting. I was restricting myself not only unthealthy food but sometimes just food in general. I remember one time I only ate one apple for the whole luch and evening period. And then I felt awfully weak and my head was spinning the next day I woke up.
After that I realized that I have got to stop this foolishness. I have got to stop starving then binging myself. I realized that it was not directing me to my goal of weight loss. So now even though I don't consider myself thin anymore, I'm ok with the way I'm. And I'm eating healthy again and living a physically active lifestyle. And I know by doing just this, I'll slowly but naturally get to my old self again.
Love you Tyra

Hi Tyra,
I am a 25 yr old woman from Canada. Yes Canada I love your show. I want to thank you for doing the Thick and Sexy because it shows that you don't have to be a size 2 to be sexy. Also I have been doing weight watchers for 12 weeks now (that includes my first weigh in) and have lost steadly and so far I am 21 lbs lighter than I was 12 weeks ago. I must say that Weight Watchers is one of the EASIEST things I have done. Because you have to plan you really think about what you are putting in your mouth. Also I give myself what I call "free days" once a week, I still watch my points however if I go over no big deal. I still eat all my favorite stuff just smaller portions. I eat out about 2 times a week and my main rule is avoid grains when eating out. Pasta, rice and bread really packs on the points= calories=fat. I still eat grains but in moderation and almost always at home. Also I have ice cream almost every evening. My fave is Heavenly Hash but again it is all about portion!
I always stop and think do I really want to use my points for this? Is it worth it. Kinda like shopping for clothes ... when you see a really 2 expensive sweaters do you buy both or think ... Which looks better Which is WORTH it. Food is the same way. Which is worth it. I always make sure I get my 8cups of water and meet my veggie/meat/dairy/grains for the day. But then whatever is left over in points I use for a "treat" or for snacking that evening while watching my fave shows.
To everyone who is worried about their weight or want to do something about it, I definately recommend Weight Watchers. It is the best and easiest program I have ever done. I started out weighing 338.8lbs and Now 12 weeks later I am 317.4 AND I have gone down 3 YES 3 Pant sizes!!!! Just remember it didn't go on overnight so it ISN'T going to come off overnight. It takes time and that is the safest way to lose!
Really what to you have to lose besides the weight?

Hi Tyra
My name is Julie, and I'm 17 years old. Im currently working on getting over / dealing with an eating disorder. Im at a normal body weight (5'8 and 150) and everyone seems to think I weigh 30 pounds less than what I really do. I just recently got out of the hospital and am need of some motivation or someone to kick my butt, and since youre such a motivation, I was wondering if you could help.
I work out on a regular basis, eat healthy (I'm a vegetarian) and try not to eat past 8 at night. I know my metabolism is shot from not eating for so long, but by being healthy and eating healthy, I cant seem to lose anymore weight which makes me want to go back to my old habits.
Youve been an inspiration to me for such a long time, and watching ANTM I always feel so discouraged because I always wanted to model, but I feel I'll never be thin enough.
A lot of people look at me and get upset when they hear the word fat coming out of my mouth directed towards myself, but its all mental, its the eating disorder that causes me this pain and feeling of being fat.
I love watching your show and was wondering if there was any way you could do a show about the deadly side effects of eating disorders. I know youve had several like that, but I truly feel that the more people with Eating Disorders see them, the more they feel motivated to get their life back on track.
Thanks.

I am 23 and I was an athlete for most of my life. I constantly burned off everything I ate, and I was forced to eat more in order to retain the muscle that I was building.
I stopped swimming for 2 years now, and no matter how hard I work out outside of the pool as well as what I eat, I have my muscle turning into fat. My arms are still somewhat toned but they look huge.
How do I besides cardio and repetitive reps break it down. My body is trained to build muscle, but I still feel fat.
Also, somedays I am great at eating, and somedays I crave sweets. I've tried eating protein, and nuts and three meals with tiny snacks in between as well as not eating past 6. I starve that way.
I just don't know what to do.

Tyra,
I joined wieght watchers about 2 years ago and I had lost about 25-30 lbs and although I still felt "fat" everyone else kept telling me how great I was looking. (I just couldn't see it at the time) I had to stop doing wieght watchers because the program was through my work, and it was the only convenient time I was able to make it to a meeting. I had a 2 yr old at home and didn't have a sitter any other time. Since then, i've gotten married and had another baby. So now i'm a stay at home mom. When I first found out I was pregnant I ate as an excuse (even though I knew I would regret it later on) Well, my son is 4 months old now and I am miserable! I just keep eating and gaining and I look at myself every day and I'm disgusted at what I see. I don't blame anyone but myself. I put every pound into my mouth. I still have the tools that wieght watchers taught me, but I don't seem to have the willpower. What can I do? Please help me!

Before I had my daughter I was only 100lbs. I'm 5'1 so that is a good size I think for myself. My daughter is 3 months old and I'm getting discouraged because I'm not loosing any more weight. I don't like to look in the mirror because it makes me sick to my stomache. I know that there will be no response to this comment because of so many people wanting advice. I guess I just needed to get it out. I just wish I could be happy with myself. I expect myself to look a certain way and because I don't look the way I think I should I hate my body.

Hi tyra,
i need help with my weight! 4 years ago i met my husband in daytona beach i lived in canada and i went there for spring break. Well then i was very pretty and was perfecly happy with my body, and i also had a good self esteem. 20 months ago i had my son william (the love of my life)but the problem now is that i gained a lot of weight and i am very unhappy. I know that 180 pounds is not a big deal for a lot of people but for me it is . My husband is very handsome and i feel that he is not attracted to me any more. I want to go back to canada to see my family and friends but im ashamed and scared to be called fat again. I dont go shopping for clothes anymore because i dont fit in the clothes i use to. I feel so ugly that i dont really even do my hair or put make up on. I wanted to get a personal trainer but they all ask for way too much money and we can't afford it. SO if you can help me or have any tips to help me lose all the ugly weight im carring please contact me. Thank you so much for everything you do for people .
You're great.

Hi Tyra,
I love Duchess Fergie and I am pleased that you had her on your show. She is the only other royalty since Princess Diana that I follow through the media. She has a wonderful spirit and her beautiful personality is so infectious. I commend her for raising her daughters with a "normal" lifestyle.

Hello Tyra,
I am currently at work right now, think that i am going to get fired(lol). I admire you so much and the hard work that you put. I have been having weight issues myself ever since the age of 10yrs old. inever been a slim girl, i always had weight that come with my curvacious body. I tend to loss weight one moment and gain weight the next. I gain weight just by walking(LOL). I dont allow my weight to bring down my self-esteem, my friends say that i am toooo confident for a plus size girl. I have been in fashion shows at school and even host a talent show where i was acting and dress up like Monique. I am not just your biggest fan i am monique' biggest fan also. you are women are strong, intelligent and outstanding black woman. Thank you so much for inspiring my life and allowing me to inspire others despite the issues they come across in life.

Hi Tyra,
My name is Tarsha Friends, and I really enjoy watching your show. I purposely watch your show at night so that I can have a good laugh before I go to bed. I would like to know why you stopped modeling. I think you are a beautiful young lady. Happy belated B-Day by the way. I hope that you did something really fun and exciting.
I was wondering what I would have to do you walk the red carpet with you. I looked on your website for the information on how someone could hang out with Tyra in L.A.

Hey, what's good Tyra? I'm Nancy Joseph from Fort Lauderdale, FL an I am 17 years old. I love everything about me,except my stomach. I have always been a chubby,plus size or fat girl and none of that every seem to matter until I went into high school. The kids don't say anything mean to me, at least not to my face. But I dont like the fact of always wearing a jacket to cover up my roll. So I'm begging you to send some exercise and dieting tips my way. Heck! you can even mail me some exercise videos or DVDS.

Hey Tyra
Whats up?You are such a hottie!!
Tyra if there is one thing that would make me that happiest girl in canada it would be to be skinnie but thats not just it.. Alot of people could get off there butt and start eating rite and working out but the thing is im 16 and I weigh 205lbs. I would gladly watch what im eating and work out but the only thing that is holding me back is that I knoe that once im skinie I will still have these Stretch marks, they will be faded but they will still be there and thats why I dont date much. Its because im scared of what guys would say to me, or would thy think im really Ugly cause of it of my tummy. That is why I always go on the internet and find guys,is because then they only half to see a pic of me from my neck up. My parents hate when I internet date becuase You never knoe what kind of creep is out there on the internet looking for some teen age girls. I have a uge proublem giveing out my number to any random guy..And my parents are scared that one of these days one of those guys will come looking for me.

I was so moved by the lady on your show that lost 209 pound through weight watchers. I to am overweight and would like to lose but I am afraid of the complications.
Posted by: Trinette Monnie | December 5, 2006 12:30 PM
I admire the young lady who took her clothes off and lined up today. And although I'm not full figured I can say i know how she feels to be nervous to wear anything but her clothes. I am 5feet, 105lb and i was affraid to wear a two peice swimsuit. I just wore one for the first time april of 2003, because i am very self conscience about my breasts.
Posted by: india | December 5, 2006 11:20 AM
I am so motivated by the lady that lost 209 pounds through WeightWatchers. I have been gaining weight over the last 6 years. I joined WeightWatchers and lost about 19 pounds, but gained it back. I have so much pain in my back and legs. I am positive it is my weight. I weighted this morning and I am up to 201 pounds. I have not had any testing done. I do not want to claim any medical porblems. I have been trying on my own, but after seeing the story I am motivated to find out what is causing my pain. I will lose this weight with help. When I hurt, food makes me feel better, especially chocolate.
