While the weight is slowly coming off, I find that another frustration is that there are really no work-out clothes in regular stores that actually fit people who need to lose weight. ANYONE ELSE SEE THE IRONY IN THAT? All the work-out clothes are in tiny sizes...lovely for those folks who are already skinny, but doesn't anyone think that they need to make something besides large sweats and oversized T-shirts for those of us who really are working hard at fitness but who aren't (and never will be) a size 2?! It may seem a 'small' thing, but I'd like to look as good as is possible while I'm trying so hard to get fit/healthier. Morale booster, ya know?

Hi Tyra,
First of all..i love u,you're like my role model!I'm really having trouble trying to lose weight and now that summer's right around the corner, I want to be able to lose about 15 lbs and have a really nice tummy.I'm 18 and I weigh 155 lbs, if there's any advice you can give me I'd greatly appreciate it.Thank You! xoxo & God bless

Hello there Tyra,
I think you are so gorgeous! Whenever i have the time i always watch your shows, and i happen to catch you show about screw the scale. I liked it, but for some reason no matter how many times i hear that phrase " screw the scale" or all these diffrent things about weight and not to worry. I still have a problem with my weight.I can't seem to get it through my thick head that weight doesn't matter. Also, i love my mom and i know she loves me too, but sometimes i hate it when i need a ride home or to school, she tells me she's busy and for me to walk home and excercise cause i need to loose weight anyways. I know that she's just messing around but when i look at my reflection, i see nothing but THE WORD FAT WRITTEN ALL OVER ME...do you think you have a clue on how to help me to get over my weight problem?

Hey Tyra!
Oh my goodness, I love you! I watched your "screw the scale show", and I guess it helped. I'm not really concerned about my weight, I'm more concerned about my health. I am the right weight, and I guess the right size, I just don't eat or exercise right. I know this sounds silly, but I think I'm addicted to food. I am a bored, stress, lonely, and just all around eater.I have always dreamed of being a chef, which is why I love food so much, i am always cooking something, and then eating whatever I cook, which is of coarse never low in fat. Im still small now, but I am definetely getting bigger by the day. I never exercise, except for in the summer when I have swim team. I am scared that the habbits I am developing now is going to catch up to me when i get older and my matabolism slows down. I am 14 by the way, so its not like I can drive myself to the gym. Please email me if you have the time, I LOVE YOU!

Hi Tyra Iam 15 years old and currently weigh 150. I have been a dancing for 11 years . I love dancing and do not want to give it up. I as I get closer to graduating I fear that because of my weight that any colleges will first judge me on my weight not my capablitiy . How can I go about losing weight inorder to achieve my dream?

Dear Tyra,
im am 18, and a hue fan!! ok well..im am not a perfect size 2 as my mom would say, but it hurts me when she says that kind of thing to me because she makes me feel like i will never get a date unless i loose some weight. i really need your help on finding easy ways to loose weight or dealing with my mom. thanks tyra =)

Hi Tyra,
Your "screw the scale" show really did help me. I am 20 and weigh 240. I have very little self esteem, mainly because I was called fat my whole life. On top of that, I have a two year old daughter, who is perfect in every way, but I haven't lost any of the weight from her and my stomach sags...a lot. I always hate looking in the mirror at myself, it always makes me cry. Because of your show, I stopped looking at the scale. Instead, I measured myself around the waist arms, thighs and chest, and I lost 7 inches in two weeks. That show really helped me in a lot of ways. I still have a hard time looking in mirrors, but I do look, and I have noticed a big difference in how my stomach looks. I can now look at pictures of myself and see how pretty I am. I could never do that before. Ever since I started watching your shows, I do have higher self-esteem. Thank you so much. You really helped me see my life in a better way.

Hey Tyra,
I am 17 yrs old and i way 230 lbs. I have very low self esteem because of my weight and every time i am in public i almost like freak out because i am so self conscious about my weight. When i look in the mirror, i dont even see a person, all i see is a fat tub of lard and hurts me so bad to not be able to look at myself and be as confident as the other guys at my school. When i watch tv and see those celebrities that are all fit and have athletic bodies, it almost makes me depressed because i wish so bad that i could look like that. I've been trying to loose wait and so far i've lost 15 lbs. But it is so hard for me to stick to a diet without going off and eating something unhealthy for me. And its even harder for me to be physically active and start doing excercises. I have no modivation at my home from my mother and i am to embarassed to ask my friends for help. Please Tyra, if you have any suggestions for me to help me tackle this weight problem that i know many others are going through, please help in any way you can. Thank you so much.
Love, Anthony

Hi Tyra

I have always watched your show and I adore you. I am 55yrs old, overweight and a diabetic. I've been watching the scales also but today, abfter watching your show and now know what to for so now I can say screw the scales too.

Dear Tyra,

I currently weigh 190 and I am 5'5". I feel so depressed within myself. I was wondering what is a good regimen for me to do as far as dieting. I would get really depressed cause I could never lose the weight healthy and sometimes I would turn to throwing up after I eat.
Tell me something healthy that I can do to lose some weight. Plus I have high blood pressure and I need to lose the weight

Hi Tyra,
I loved your "screw the scale" show. I dvr'd it, I can't say how many times I have watched it. Sadly I am having my own battles with the scale. I am 5'5 and 165 lbs and unhappy about it. Luckily I have huge T's and a lot of A so many people can't tell. But I see myself without clothes and spend many nights in tears. I wear a size 12 which isn't bad but I prefer to have less inches to pinch. I am a 29 yr old, single parent in the military you would think I would be fit and trim. Not so much. Are there any dieting/health tips you would recommend?

Hi Tyra!
I'm a 35 year old girl from the Netherlands, Europe. We can see your show here too you know! I love it, just like I love ANTM. We're only a little later to see the shows, but that doesn't matter to me. I loved this episode: SCREW THE SCALE! But do YOU really think so, having been a topmodel and all? I think the message is very good, but for some people, not only girls, it would be better to watch the scale, or... even better I think, watch the way your jeans fit! If they're too tight, it's about time to excercise a little more and eat a little less.
I've got to say, I like you more now, than I did when you were modelling! Keep up the good work! Big hug, Nathalie
