im 5'5 and 182 so obvisouly I'm a little larger by my parents don't support me at all either. What you need to do is start to eat healthier on your own and exercise more on your own. Don't even tell your parents that your doing it, they will just discrouage you, which is worse then no motavtaion....this is coming form you, not them, its your weight that will be lost, not theirs....they just dno't want you to go into a sprial of dieting and getting to skinny, but if you reassure them that you won't then start to "secertyl" eat healtihera nd such then you should get through it...you can do it with just yourself, all the support is just a bounus...good luck!
