Help People!I am 11 years old and I am 20 pounds overweight! I have gone to a swim team for two months now and I haven't lost anything!!! And my mom seems to keep bakeing cookies and whenever I see them I take two or three of them! My friends keep elling me that I'm not overweight, but that is what's scaring me.Help me!,Jocelyn

I was under wieght from 5-12 and know Im over wieght and I feel much better. All Im trying to say is you need to love yourself for who you are. And if you want to lose wait and become a model type thats own you but dont ask for others for help

well i think that you shoul stop eating fatty foods and start extracizing and mayby you will lose some weight. and also try talking to your parents are teachers im sure that will help you.

When I told my dad what I wanted to do to lose weight I 1st told him swimming. He said swimming is a great way to lose weight except people who swim intend to gain weight because they need more body fat to protect them from the cold water. As for the cookies when your mom bakes them only eat 1 and split another with her. If you want to eat more have your mom put thm up or save them for another day.

Okay it sounds like you are doing good on the exercise thing because you joined a swim team but you need to change you eating habits. It is all about self-control only have 1 cookie. Just eat what you want just have smaller portions.And limit yourself on the sugar! If you say I can't do it then to bad because you can! And drink 5 cups or more water a day. I hope this helps and I know this will help you swim faster too.
