Ht. 5'7", Start: 227 lb, Today: 227 lb, Goal: 155 lb - I really want to start losing, and it's my goal to lose 20-30 pounds this summer. (89 days, honestly, with all the extra blubber I have, I think it's possible) The only problem is...I don't know how to talk to my parents about it... I tried once but I gave up way to fast and my dad didnt even really care. (which was 'good' you could say, at the time)

try talking to him let him know your concerned. if you go to the doc they will tell you that you are over weight and need help. they wll talk to your parents.. or just start goign out riding yoru bike or going on a walk and asking your parents to come wiht.. it;s a get bonding time and you get to work out. it's a start
