Get more active and into sports. You can also join a program that will help you watch your weight. If that isn't enough you could talk to your school nurse about it and see if she has any suggestions about it.
Thats what I did and I felt much better.

Hey Carla, I am sorry that you are going through all of this, but I agree with Krystle you need to find help tell anybody.. a teacher, school counselor, if you go to youth group you could tell your youth pastor.. any trusted adult.. I really wish I could help more but there is nothing I can do for you besides try and give you support, please go get help.. E-mail me if u need someone to talk too... Snkdlsmandy333@aol.com

Hi! Ok, this is a long one so bare with me--I weighed myself about 6 days ago, and I was 150lbs, today I weighed myself, and I'm 172lbs.

I was sitting down to dinner with my family, half way through eatting, 2 of my buttons popped off my shirt!! My whole family was in fits of laughing! My mom said, Oh My God your blowing up like a balloon, then my bro poked me and said, lets pop the balloon. That really hurt me! And then yesterday was one of the most embarrising days of my life! I was in a shop trying these new pants(jeans). When I went to close the button, it wouldn't close and I kept trying and trying and eventually it broke! I had to go up to the counter and pay for them! Everyone is noticing I've gained alot of weight and I'm gettin things said to me like Wow what happened and did you eat the supermarket!

If you really gained that much weight in that short period of time, you might have some kind of medical condition...my friend gained a lot of weight real quickly, like you, and it turned out there was something wrong with her thyroid or something. Don't know exactly. Anyway, check it out with your parents and your doctor.

THERE IS SO MUCH MORE TO LIFE THAN YOUR WEIGHT!! it's summer, so try to get some exercise in, and try to make healthy decisions when choosing what to eat. you should tell a doctor or parent if you are depressed. you might want medicine so you don't feel as depressed. it's not the end of the world if you can't lose weight, you have the rest of your life and you don't want to miss out! love, angel

Hey everyone! Just another little information-message to help out some people.
If anyone has noticed that their eating habits do not justify their weight (eg. you don't eat much but you put on weight rapidly) then you might have a thyroid problem. NOTE: This does NOT mean that if you already had a weight problem and are trying to get it off; there is some chance but not a lot. However, if you have always been a light eater and are fairly or even extremely active but you have found that you suddenly began to put on weight, as I said you might have a thyroid problem. I'm not going to go into the sicence of it here but its basically something that holds back your metabolism. Ask you doctor; they can do blood tests and see if there's anything there. Bye!

Ht. 5'4", Start: 210 lb, Today: 431 lb (BMI %tile: 98) - Hi everyone. My name is Summer and i am 17. I weigh 431 lbs. I am 5'4. I have been overweight my whole life, but at age 12, i could have stopped it. Last year i lost my best friend...she died in a car crash with her 21 yr old boyfriend. He had been drinking and she was begging him to pull over, but he didn't. Then he went on the other side of the road where he collieded with an eighteen wheeler. Both of them died instantly. Before any of that happened i had weighed 210, and i was in progress of losing weight so i would be able to fit into the new dress i had bought for my cousins wedding. I wasn't ALL fat, half fat, and half muscle becasue i swam. But now, i am soo depressed at my deseased friend. It is the reason that i now weigh 431 lbs. If anyone has support or ways to lose weight please post...thanks to everyone for even reading this message. And god rest her in peace,I love you, Genn..(my best friend..)thanks..~Summer

Hi, ok here it goes. My problem and it will sound strange, is that I can very seldom go to the bathroom. Because of this, my stoamche swells and I gain weight.

That can be a serious problem. If your doctor doesn't believe you, keep going to different ones who do. You are the only one who knows how you feel, and you should feel your best. In the mean time, try staying away from salty foods and a drink as much water as possible, and also try to exercise regularly. Lots of luv and good luck~Michelle

Like everyone else, I don't think diet pills are the way to go, they might seem like the 'easy way' but, most people just put the weight back on after they take them anyway. If you do decide you want to try diet pills, though, make sure you talk with your doctor about what kind is right for you, or even if you need them!! If the Doctor does perscribe some for you, make sure that you check all the chemicals in them, making sure there are no steroids, or thing that can react with other things you use. I hope you consider this carefully and do what is best for you. We're all here for you, good luck.
