heck I was overweight last year (and i was vewy strong and funny) whenever some "popular" person made fun of me, i made fun of them back! hehe well most of its probly just baby fat, itll go bye bye soon, and i think im a lot thinner now is cause last year i became the best endurance and sprinter runner in my grade! yay!
Try this, will power is the key.
Weight problem eh? Well, there are a number of solutions you can take, none of them are easy imo... What I did to lose much of my weight (since I do have to constantly stay fit in the military:\) is to:
#1. Watch what you eat. And I don't mean starve yourself and eat bread and water for a month straight. That won't do anything, infact you'll gain more weight that way. Eat light foods, and keep up eating a variety of foods, even beef and starchy foods. Junk food is ok... but remember too much of anything can only do harm.
#2. Run around! Pick up a sport, or just do something physical for awhile. Even if it means doing a morning jog every other day. Your body can't burn the "extra fuel" if you're not active. Oh! And don't do bursts of exercises! This doesn't help your body at all, if anything you'll end up with cramps and no progress. Take small steps and work your way up, for example just try walking around your neighborhood a couple times. After a week of doing that move up to adding 15 or more push-ups everyday. Get the idea?
#3. This has more to do with number 1, but I think its fairly important to know to increase your "water" intake. Not juice, soda, or coffee. I'm talking about regular good ol' water, or even the bottled variety. Doing so will greatly reduce your constant hunger strikes, not to mention its healthy for you.
And lastly, #4. Be positive about it and be patient! Losing weight doesn't happen overnight, if you want stats try weighing yourself once or twice a week before breakfast. Keep a record of this weight and see the pattern that develops.
Well that's what I do! And I'm at my target weight which is 160 pounds. If you can at least follow three out of the four steps you will see some improvement, but I recommend following all four steps. <.<
Ok that wraps it up, I hope this helps and good luck.

I lost ten pounds in a week by spending a lot of time skateboarding and I only ate three meals a day and almost no snacks except apples or oranges...it was pretty easy for me, but I suppose it could be hard for other people...I hope that helps...It's actually very fun (and tasty if you like fruit :) ) way to lose weight.

Hey Bna_li ya not alone there ! =3
Yup , yup i have had my share bit of Weight problems recently. Kairyu has taken da Words out of my mouth ;) Don't worry about it Bna_li , with self control and will power you can easily lose weight :).
Well i am 13 , and its more than normal to get Puppy fat (As in before and while puberty you gain more weight) and i did get Puppy fat as loads of other pre-Teens do. Now i'm 13 though , thats over and i am slightly overweight for several reasons , not eating the right diet , not exercising enough , and i have had a illness which needed medication , and the side effect was i gained weight :/
To lose weight , you do not need to go on your average diet as in stop eating completely or only eat fruit and veg for a month. You could do it , but thats the painfull way. There are other ways that are much easier and can even become enjoyable to do. I am currently going to our Local Health Club Gym , and i really enjoy it. The Gym for a start , is very nice and the equipment is really cewl , easy to use and its air conditioned in there (There are wide screen Tvs to plug your headphones into while you go on the Treadmill or Cycle ect.. I go to the Gym atleast two or three times a week. Its amazing how little can make such a change , i don't go to the Gym daily but i have already felt a difference in my Strength (Sit ups really pull ya stomache in =P) and i swear i already look different in my weight tone ^_^
So exercise is one thing , try to find active things to do that you enjoy ;) For eg. A sport you like or a Game. I go Horse Riding and Play Hockey. Exercise while doing things you like you can dance , skate , swim , run whatever you fancy !. If your like me and sit on the comp for too long in time , you can always just jog round the block or something every now and then :P Secondly is diet , Infact your diet is the most important key to losing weight. Take the Atkins diet , people lost weight on that without even getting out of their chairs. I love junk food like alot of people , but you have to slowly cut down on that for starters. Try not to eat to much Junk food , cut down on Carbohydrates like White Bread , Pasta and Rice which people often eat to much of and they gain weight from eating to much Carbs. Stop eating White Bread and eat Brown which is better for you as its a slow realising Carbohydrate ^^ Eating Potatos is alright , but try and eat the Skin aswell.
When you feel a Sugar craving coming on , instead of grabbing a Chocolate Bar have a very sweet Orange or Breakfast Bar. If you don't mind Dark Chocolate then eat a bit of that instead of Milk Choco which is worse. I'd also cut down on Milk since its very fattening. You can still eat Junk food , but not too often. If you are exercising enough then it won't matter as much. Eat better , Do enjoyable exercise and have fun ! You won't regret it in any way. Have confidence and remember never to listen to the Bullies who try to ruin your life . Their the lame ones and you know it ^-^
I have been bullied about my weight , (even though i am not "Obese or extremely overweight" i am just abit too podgy) and i know how much it can hurt. Don't listen to them , their the ones that look stupid =3 Oh dear i am ranting on now are'nt i ? ^^;
Hope this helps Bna_li !! n.n-

Ah, it's okay. It's not that hard to get back in shape at all, as long as you do some of these things. You just need to stick with it. ^_^; Kairyu and the others gave some useful advice, but I'll still give some of my own health tips.
Drink lots of water and juice. Especially pineapple, apple, grape, etc. And every morning when you wake up, make drinking a glass of water one of the first things that you do. In fact, I would recommend cutting out soda and any other kind of junk, or atleast minimizing your intake. Soda has nothing in it that is good for you, so there's no use drinking it. And stay away from diet drinks. They have a chemical (Or something) called Aspartame in them, which is bad. (It subsitutes something in the regular drinks, but it's not good.)
Eating a lot of food all at once is no good. It's okay if you get hungry easily, just stay active during the day and you'll have no problem. It's better to eat small amounts of food at different times of the day instead of large amounts three times a day.
Stay active. This is most important for getting and staying in shape, plus it's extremely good for you. Don't just sit around all day, or else all of that wasted time will come back to haunt you when you're older and you find out that you have some kind of disease. When you stay active it keeps your blood flowing. When you don't, it just goes slower and your veins (I think) can get clogged up, and if they do it's deadly. Even if you don't have enough time to work out two or more hours a day, just 30 minutes atleast 3 times a week will keep you healthy. Whenever you have the chance, go on a walk, go swimming, get involved in sports, play outside, etc. There are a lot of fun things that you can do, and you'll hardly realize that you're actually excercising. Just don't push yourself. Go at your own pace. Don't expect to just be able to run 10 miles on your first try. You have to build up your muscles, and eventually they'll be really strong so maybe you could do that. Excercising isn't only for losing weight. It's good for you. A lot of people that are in shape excercise just because they want to stay healthy, and live longer lives. I know this for a fact. My 67 year old grandmother excercises every day, and she can do some things that I can't, or can barely do! O_O She can raise her whole leg up to touch her head. Lol, that's some proof. Also, if you just walk really slowly you're not going to get anywhere. Go up hills, walk fast, etc. And stretching before you walk or do any kind of excercise is a must. Always do that.
And if you want to try it, here's a really good diet that works. I know, it seems like it would be hard, but it's only three days, and if you stick with it and follow it exactly, you could lose a lot of weight very easily.
Lose 10 lbs in one wk.
Must be followed exactly. No snacking.
1st day ? Breakfast ???.?.? grapefruit,1 slice dry toast, 2 tbsp peanut butter,
black coffee or tea
Lunch?????...1/2 cup tuna, 1 slice dry toast, coffee or tea
Dinner????.?.2 slices any type of meat (approx 3 ounces) 1 cup green
Beans, 1 cup beets, 1 small apple, 1 cup vanilla ice cream

Lunch?????...1 cup cottage cheese, 5 saltine crackers
Dinner?????..2 weiners, 1 cup broccoli, ? cup carrots, ? banana,
? cup vanilla ice cream
3rd day ? Breakfast????..5 saltine crackers, 1 slice cheddar cheese, 1 small apple,
black coffee or tea
Lunch??????1 hard boiled egg, 1 slice dry toast
Dinner????.?..1 cup tuna, 1 cup beets, 1 cup cauliflower, ? cantaloupe,
? cup vanilla ice cream
This diet works on chemical breakdown and it is proven. Do not vary or substitute any of the above foods.
Salt & Pepper may be used. No other seasoning.
Where no quantity is given, there are no restrictions other than common sense.
This diet is to be used only 3 days at a time. In 3 days you will lose 10 lbs. After 3 days of dieting, you can eat normal food, but do not overdo it.
After 4 days of normal eating start back on your 3 day diet. You can lose up to 40 lbs in one month if you stick to it. This is a safe diet.

Um, pretty much all the good advice has already been said, but just stay encouraged, we're all here for that. If you slip and eat a lot of junk food or something, don't give up. Just keep at it, even if you do slip now and then. It's much better to stick with it even if it means eating a little more, than sticking with a strict diet and binge eating every week. If it helps you feel better, you could kind of post in this topic how you did on good days and so forth. Encouragement is important with staying with it too. On days you goof up, just shrug it off and remember to try not to again. No one is going to put shame on you for messing up, it's human. We'll only offer comfort and advice on helping you resist binge eating. And you will probably mess up, sure. If you can get a good diet established now, it'll help you your whole life, as Kayleigh said. ^_^

I'm pretty big, but I don't worry about it for now...I'm 16, and I told myself when I'm 18 I'll start working out and stuff...I just want to sit back and eat potato chips as long as I can before I'm thrown out in the world. I don't look that bad...no one says anything to me about it, at least. The problem is that I eat portions that are too big...my mom gives me enough food for three people at dinner, which is bad...I have a small breakfast and an average lunch though. The only time in my life when I ever had massive weight loss was last year when I first became afflicted with horrible depression...I lost 10 or 15 pounds in 2 months, basically because I was never hungry. I'm still hardly ever hungry now, but I can stand to eat again.
My only advice is to not worry about it for now, and when you have more freedom just work out and eat right...that's my plan.
