Hi Everyone,
I just found this thread by looking for weight loss tips. But here is my story..

I am almost 16 years old and I am 5'10'' and weigh 240lbs. Its SO sad and I feel so ugly all the time. :( I always hide under my jackets or sweaters and yet one year ago I was in Cuba with my fam. And we had undergone a major life change. I had lost 30lbs, my dad 22, my mom 11, and they arent fat like me.. im not sure where I come from... But I looked and felt GREAT! I was wearing short shorts, tank tops, and batting my eye lashes and some of the boys lol.

;)

But I started home schooling and I just lost my motivation.. and now I am back at 240. And the dr. said I HAVE to lose weight for my health as I am quite prone to Diabetes. I dont want to end up like that at all, it hurts and it makes me cry that i could be like that because im to fat for my frame.. my grandpa had it even tho he wasnt fat at all, he died at 52. And its just in both my sides of my family..

I just dont know what i can do anymore.. i really really need help. im so upset with myself becuase I can be such a determined person and I will sometimes lose like 6 lbs, 10 lbs, and then gain it back... i am SO lost and just need so much guidance.


I dont feel attractive at all... like I watch those movies with the gorgeus girls like Kate Hudson, Hilary Duff, Lindsay Lohan, Jennifer Aniston, and I look at them and I feel like I will never be able to have a bf becuase im not 'thin' enough.. I dont even care about having a bf but its just, I dont know.. i just want to feel pretty. I have NEVER todl ANYONE about this.. becuase all my friends are 2 years older than me and are thin and gorgues and popular.. they woldnt understand.

thanks for reading and any advice you can give to me.

What were you doing in Cuba that help you loose all that weight? if you did it before you can do it again girl. It is all up to you.

Don't try to be like Hilary Duff, or any actress, try to be the best you, that is all, realize that actresses and actors have people cooking, doing their daily chores, etc, just so they can concentrate in looking good on the screen. If I didn't have to work 12hrs shifts and come home to do my regular stuff and watch my kids or clean up after the dogs I would be skiny too. Life for the normal people like you and I is diferent but it still can be done. So with a little patiance start your transformation, remembering to be the best you for the day, excersice today for the new you, eat right today for you also.

Keep the faith.
 
Hi Berkaboo Welcome!! Little Luey is right don't compare yourself to celebrities I know it is hard because they are everywhere in the media, but try and find something you really like about yourself not what you see in others.

If the doctors say you should lose weight for health concerns well they should be recommending a weight loss programme. You are only 16 so you do need guidance and support.
So speak to your Doctor and go from there take little steps and try and nip this weight issue in the bud now don't let it take over your life.
I started dieting at a very young age and have yoyoed right through my adult life.
I look forward to seeing how you go.
All the best.

Thanks so much everyone! I didnt lose the weight in Cuba.. but I maintained it. It was because everyday I would swim, walk to town, shop, and I didnt really have time for snacking!
 
Hilary Duff looked so cute before she went all aneroxic-like. Don't try to be like them just be yourself, I agree, welcome to the forums and good luck!!
