Hi ppl! My name is Michelle and I've got this massive problem (massive being the apppropiate word!). I'm 13yrsold and obese 'cos I weigh in at 160lbs-170lbs. I feel so fat and to make it worse, my best friends are soo skinny and totally unsupportive of my weight. I really would like advice on dieting and a dieting pal. I don't care if ur gal/boy, any age or any size. My e-mail is M_J_CHAPMAN@YAHOO.CO.UK. Thanks alot! P.s. why do skinny people think that if your'e heavy, your'e unfit? I can run as fast if not faster than most of them! xxxx

well first the reson skinny people aren't really supportive is because, well if they are your freinds, they don't want to talk about it. since they are skinny they don't know what it is like being bigger. so they just don't say anything at all. they could say the wrong thing with out knowing it and hurt your feelings. so if u want them to be supportive, let them know it is ok to talk about your weight problem and it won't hurt your feelings. maybe they will be more open mindin about it if u tell them that. and the reson why some people think that over weight people aren't fit is cuzz well some times over weight people aren't fit. it is very unusul to find one that is.

Hi! This weird for me cause we have the same name and when i was 13 i was in your exact situation! The most I can remember weighing is 170 pounds, but I was probably around 175 at one time or another. Now I am 150 pounds and i feel so much better! By media standards I am still obese, but to myself, I am the healthiest I have ever been. A few things I did: count calories such as eating only 1500 calories a day. I exercised such as running in place for 10 minutes a day. I am currently doing tae bo and I can't believe how much stronger my legs are! Try to take little steps. It took me a year to lose that much weight, and, eventhough I am at a plateau right now at 150 pounds, I don't really care as long as I feel good about myself. P.S. I am 5ft 1in, How tall are You? Good luck!
