I know this is going on forever but i just want to put out there im a not lazy fat kid i do 3 different sports football, golf which doesnt take alot of working out but you know and wrestling 8th grade year im 9th grade now i weighed 180 at the start of 8th grade end of my two football seasons i was in school football and a optional league i weighed 200-205 if i remember right and now i weigh 220 and its not like i never had extra fat i have had extra all the way from 8 years old but now its just getting ridiculous i dont want to take off my shirt in public, I dont like to really even hang out with friends anymore im becoming a social misfit and i hate it please if anybody could just help me and give me tips on what i should be doing like i said i have weight lifiting 3 times week for and hour and a half then i workout at home on my pecs and thighs just to try and give my lifts some more weight and i just recently started to run 1 mile everyday i stopped drinking pop eating chips ice cream pop cicles fast food everything i eat fruit, Fat free yogurt, boneless skinless chicken breast lettuce with fat free or lower fat dressings and i follow the serving sizes i eat 4-5 times a day
 
Sounds like you have the right idea. Keep working out on the basics and try to eat as healthy as possible. I would talk with someone at a local gym or a nutritionist if you can find someone you like. It is extremely helpful to find someone to help keep you focused.

Remember, you didn't get overweight or out-of-shape over night, it took years. So, getting back in shape won't happen overnight. Keep up with it.

keep up with the sports you have been playing, mostly the football game.. i would suggest you to go with swimming and cycling.. if you want to go to gym, keep doing the cardio exercise regularly.. as you are small dont go for weight lifting, in some cases it effects the increasing of height. all the best..
