Ht. 5'9", Start: 220 lb, Today: 288 lb (BMI %tile: 98), Goal: 200 lb - Before quarantine I was already a bit chubby at 220Lbs, but not bad. I expected I gained a few pounds, but until I got on the scale today I was expecting to see 235-250lbs, but I am now 288lbs! I hate how I look, and I have noticed I am not able to be as active as I used to be, I get winded easily, and I can’t fit in my clothes and I know I need help because I don’t want to be just like my parents (my dad is 450lbs and my mom is 380lbs). I know if I can’t get this under control I will be over 300lbs by summer and it is so scary, in a year I gained 68lbs and if I repeat that next year I will be 356lbs shortly after my 16th birthday and according to my dad he wasn’t even over 200lbs until after high school so where does that put me?

Hi Jackson, I turned 16 last week, and I'm 460lbs. I'm like you, my parents are both huge and I suppose I've just inherited their genes. I really struggle to do loads of things, and clothes are dead difficult.
