If the people in your family are making fun of you. I think that you should ask them to stop. And GOOD LUCK!!!!

Don't listen to him a lot of people will say a lot of mean things but it's not always your fault they probally don't have anything else better to do so they think they can just pick on people but they can't plus if it's your brother tell him how it hurts your feelings.

The best thing i think to do is to exercise with him or play some games to make it fun. And when you guyse eat, just have him eat half of what he'd normally eat.

Yeah I know you don't want to deprive your other kids but don't let them have anything special in front of him and not let him eat it becuase that will make him feel bad too. *rach*

I'm not really that overweight, but I don't think I'd like it very much if my parents sent me there, but if I was obese, I don't think I'd be upset if they asked me if I'd like to go. You should ask your daughter if she would want to go, explain why you want her to go and that it would be good for her health, and then see if she is willing to go.

Hey! What you can do is tell your mom, dad, or gardian to buy healthy foods such as fruits and vegetables instead of those junky foods. Also try to do healthy things like ride a bike every day, do sports, dance, or jog outside. Try to eat half of what u usually eat every day and save it for later. Let me know how everything turns out

I am the same height as you, and I used to weigh the same. So far, I've lost 7 pounds in 1 1/2 weeks. You can do it! Drink a lot of water! If you find yourself snacking on unhealthy foods, like I did, try to find a healthy food to snack on. I would talk to your parents too. They can be a big help! My mom hasn't bought any cookies/chips for over a month now, so when I go into the cupboards, there is nothing "good" to eat, except for fruits and veggies. Good luck!
