Hey my name is Danielle and I am 17. I have been overweight since about the 3rd grade. I weighed 90 lbs at 8 years old, 140 at 10, and 190 at 12. I promised myself I would NEVER weigh more than 200 lbs but now I am 17 and I weight about 230. I wear a size 20! My best friend is my age and she weighs like 125 so it is really hard for me to go out clothes shopping with her or anything cause she wears like a size 7 and we can't even get our clothes from the same stores! I have tried to lose weight before but now I really wanna get serious about it...I need to lose like 60-70 lbs. I am at risk for Diabetes! Anybody wanna help me?? Thanks!!

I too promised myself that i would never weigh over 200lbs. but i broke that promise to myself and it makes me angry. i know how it feels to be overweight. you are not alone. i started getting heavy in 5th grade. boys used to tease me and tell me i was fat and i started to believe it. now i am going to be a senior this coming school year and i weigh 205lbs. it's driving me crazy and it's so embarrasing and i don't know what to do. if you want someone to talk to about it you can email me at babyblue152002@hotmail.com
