I am 12 years old, 5'3 and weigh 150 pounds. I have been overweight for a very long time. A friend of my moms just died recently from being overweight and people always tease me because I am so fat. I really want to lose weight before september 1. I have been eating healthy and excersising but it doesn't feel like I have made any progress. PLZ HELP!!!!!!!!!!!

I have the same problems you do but I am 4'11 and weigh 130 pounds. I think you should try a dibetic diet. It will provent you from getting diabeetes and it cuts down on sugar. I was 163 pound but I lost all that weight by using this diet. I wish you good luck.

You should be very motivated by that death... and you do not want to lose your life over a weight.. you can excercise maybe run around the block.... get into some sports at school or outside of it... You can even try some stuff that will help and be fun at the same time... ex. walking around the mall (w/or w/out friends and water) Skating , going on bikerides with friends , and maybe if you have a younger or a little bit older sister or brother you can play outside with them! I hoped this helped maybe alot maybe just a teeny bit.. I still hoped I motivated and helped you alot... Good Luck ... ~Nay~ ps you can always come to me when you need me!

my cousin was overweight too. but when she and her fiance' moved to an apartment in new york, they were broke so to save money they sold there car. and walked everywhere if it nwas 10 miles or less from there home. they also went on a fruit diet for a couple months where for example they would eat an apple and a half cup of milk for breakfeast, for lunch they would eat a banana and full cup of water, and dinner they would eat an apple and banana, and 1 1/2 cups of water. she lost 60 pounds in 4 months. i tried the diet for 2 days but the temptatiopn was too much. i hope this helped.

if you're 5'3" and 150 i dont think you are VERY overweight at all especially since you are tall for ur age cuz as u can see i am 19 and 5'3" and i was almost 150...(147) and i did not look VERY FAt or overweight at all my doctor actually said i look healthy and he couldnt put me on a diet because its not like i have an eating problem or anything else...and i havent been fat all my life...but anyway...u still are growing and trust me you will lose that weight as you become a teenager because i lost weight when i got to middle school and high school too....but i gained almost 10 lbs in my 1st yr of college...lol...
