Sunshine to say I feel your pain can't even describe what I feel. I once was well over 353 pounds and a near fatal bout of diabetes. When I was your age the only thing I got was insults from my father and no help. Please never give up, you will prevail. I lost over 120 pounds and am still in the process of loosing till I am my ideal weight for my body type, no less. You can do it, and I will suggest what really helped me. I walked every day till I finally was walking a mile a day, I even got others to walk with me and they even lost weight. Start slow, and don't walk a lot the first couple weeks because if you get all sore because you are not used to the muscles being used it can be discouraging, take it slow at first and keep a weight loss diary, this is important, as you keep track of daily or weekly weigh ins you will be able to see the progress and it will encourage you to keep on going at it. You can get a pedometer to get a rough idea of how much walking you start with and track that daily, this will help also see the progress you make. Remember at 353 pounds I couldn't walk 300 yards hardly, now 2 miles is fun. McDonalds used to give Pedometers away, and many discount stores like Walmarts they are really cheap. It's easier to use a pedometer than a tape measure to keep track of the distance you are walking and the diary will allow you to make after walk comments on how you feel, so the next time you can adjust the distance according to how you feel. Sunshine don't wait till diabetes ruins your health like it did mine. Keep your chin up and you know as I do, you can do it.
The walking or exercise and a diet plan will work once your body metabolism regulates itself to the food intake and exercise.

your 12...right well im 12 2 but i really dont know if im fat or not. this is americas falt cuz theyve invented shity food that makes us FAT!! try getting rid of EVERYTHING unhealthy my sister is like a fricking lawn mower and she goes through food like one. so we have junk food in our house ALL the time. if u want a snack thats sweet try sugar free jello or popsicles like the chocolate ones. your taste buds detect 2 major tastes salty and sweet things so when you have a craving 4 something salty eat saltines. theyre lowfat and taste good. now u cant just cut calories u have to exercise. gym is a GREAT way to help lose weight. try running, jogging,walking, etc. if u wanna get one HELL OF a work out for your abs do this
1.get in a push up position
2.hop across the room staying in a push up position
3.stay in a push up positon DO NOT hop like a frog KEEP your legs stretched out and use your feet to hop with dont bends your knees

Im 12 yrs old and i way exactly the same as u it sucks

Hi i feel you it weird cuz im goin through the same thing im 12 and ur weight exactly inless uve lost dome (thats great) i wish we could chat i could gain courage and cofidence well i hope that u reply to me i nneed ur help

I'm a 12 year old girl to and weigh 179 pounds too and I been trying to lose weight like 4 a lifetime now.I know how u people feel and I feel the same way as well.If you share all the info you got with me I will share whatever I can and try to help you people as much as possible.We can do it 2gether.
First of all jumping jacks is good and so is curl ups because they tighten the stomach muscles.push-ups also tighten the arm muscles and make u stronger.If you have alot of sweets in your home ask your parents if you can throw it all out and buy healthy things,that's what my mama is doing for me oh i love her23E

hwy, im lori. i weigh 165 and i am 12 going on 13. i realize that my weight is wrong and i am trying to fix it too. try getting at least 30 to i hour of excersize a day. and i know all of the food(especially ice cream for me) will be tempting but you have to resisst. you dont want to die at a young age do you? neither do i. i am working on my weight as hard as i can and i am already loosing ponds. =]]]]
best of luck
lori
