Ht. 5'2", Start: 170 lb, Today: 175 lb (BMI %tile: 98), Goal: 100 lb - Does anyone know what to do to make a uniform bigger? My school uniform is too small for me, but mom can't afford a new one so I have to keep this one.
The problem is, the skirt is soooooo tight it hurts and gives me red marks all round my waist, and the shirt is too short to cover my belly properly sothe bit that sags over my skirt's waistband is totally uncovered. So I need a bigger uniform really soon, can anyone help?

He's 13 and last June he was 61" tall and 132 pounds. His pediatrician at that time told his father and me that John was obese and to help him lose weight.Last Tuesday, we took John back for another physical(he just started 8th grade and he wants to play sports, so the district requires current physicals for all such students. John grew 1" taller and he gained 33 pounds over the summer. I know John has a huge appetite and knew he gained weight this summer because we had to buy all new school clothes for him because he couldn't even pull the nice pants he wore last June over his legs and hips, but I had no idea he had gained so much weight. Yesterday we went to a neighbor's house for a end of summer party. They have a pool, and so John was there in his boardshorts...

Yesterday we went to a neighbor's house for a end of summer party. They have a pool, and so John was there in his boardshorts we bought in July but are now very tight. He's not self-conscious at all about his weight (the other chubby teen boys there all kept their tee shirts on, but John didn't).
John ate a ton of food, but that was OK because it was potluck so there was a lot of food. It doesn't bother me that he eats so much because I know he's still growing. He always tells me he's hungry and I know he loves to eat.
My husband tells me not to worry and that John will get teller and grow into his weight, but I am worried. If John keeps on gaining 11 pounds a month he'll be over 300 pounds next year.
John is such a nice boy I don't want him to think I'm criticizing him so I don't tell him not to eat so much.
BTW, my husband and I decided not to let John go out for football because of danger of concussions, but we told him he can wrestle, and try for basketball and baseball. He's OK with that.
Teens, please give me advice, PLEASE! How can I help my son get his weight under control when he doesn't seem to think he has a problem and my husband is no help.(My husband was very heavy as a youngster and teen and now at age 40 weighs well over 300).
THANKS FOR ANY ADVICE YOU CAN GIVE ME. (view less)

BMI takes no account into how much muscle mass you have. I personally hate BMI and think it is another way of trying to put people down. Remember to stay strong during your journey.

Honestly, I didn't think it would get this far. My weight is so up and down, I could lose and gain a couple pounds in the matter of a week. I don't get much support at home. My friends and family just don't really get it and I can't go to them after a binge or anything. I guess I am kind of in need of a buddy on here. Thanks!

Ht. 6'0", Start: 235 lb, Today: 235 lb (BMI %tile: 98), Goal: 190 lb - I'm at a point in my life right now where I get total control of my destiny. I want to fly one day, for a living, with a major airline. My dad will pay for my flight school, but not without first loosing some weight to show him I'm serious. It's so much harder than I thought. At first, the idea was gum. I put gum in my mouth, and it's an excuse to say no more. It worked, and I recommend it, but then I started taking the gum out. I guess I just need the strength to keep it in. I need to turn this around.

Ht. 5'5", Start: 160 lb, Today: 143 lb (BMI %tile: 82), Goal: 120 lb - Hey everyone another quick update...
I'M NOT OVERWEIGHT ANYMORE!!!
I'm so happy that all the hard work has paid off! I still have weight to lose because I'm not where I want to be yet but this is a start! I still have a chubby belly but hopefully that will soon go!
I went on holiday and we did loads of walking everyday and because it was really hot you sweat loads so that made me lose about 7 pounds on 2 weeks!!
I'm really happy that I'm not overweight anymore just gotta try and keep it off and lose more!
If anyone wants any advice then just talk

I cant figure out a way to lose weight. I can barely walk, my belly hangs past my knees so i have a lot of back pain. i cant find any clothes at all that fit. the thing I would like to find the most is pants and bras, I seem to be too big for normal sizes. If anyone knows a doctor that could help me that would be great. I keep falling which is making my health/ mobility worsen. Thanks, Nia
