Keep hope, remember your young and you can do anything your mind tells you to. Dont worry about what others have to say, worry about how you feel. When I was 15 I was 250lbs, and now im down to about 199. I lost 50 lbs because of my dedication to diet and running. I know its tough, I've been there, and im still working on improvement, and if you ever need someone to talk to im here. Just stay dedicated, life may be hard now, but it will let you learn to truly appreciate what you gain (or lose *lbs.) in the future. I know you can do it. But don't do it for me, or anyone else for that matter, do it for yourself. If your doing it for someone else, chances are it won't work. So keep hope and write your results and i'll keep a lookout. Yours truly, Pat
