Hi i'm here not because of me but because of my sister. She is very overweight. She is 5'2 and i think almost weighs 170 pounds. I know why to. She sits at the house all day and talks with her friends on msn. She does things with her friends but thats not everday. She NEVER gets exercise and she eats all the time. We try to keep bad food out of the house, but she does not know what portion control means, so it doesn't really matter anyway. I am worried about her. she always is complaining about her weight and cries sometimes. she wants to be a normal 13 year old and i don't know how to get through to her. If any of you have a thought or idea please share it with me... i really don't want her to get any bigger. Thank you very much

hey I know what your sister is going through I go though it to I am 14 and I wiegh 178 I need to loose weight so I can be healthy and be a regular teenager. Alot of my friends don't have to worry about there weight because they have high matabolisms. Mine is low so I have to eat right and make myself excercise. I cry because I am fat and want to be normal to so if your sistr likes to talk online then maybe me and her can be weight loss buddies and we can help each other out. because I know if have someone to talk to I wouldnt be as fat I think I have minor depression and that makes me eat a lot and the doctor tells me I have a big appetite and eat more then I should. Well if your sister want to talk to me my email address is sweetie1855@msn.com
