Before you post a reply saying that your child is overweight or that you want them to lose weight, please first check our Weight Calculator. If the calculator says that your child is healthy weight, please do not post a message saying that they are overweight or that you want them to lose weight.  This offends the kids who really are overweight.  Thanks a lot.

From dylhan, child's age 16

actually, I'm not the parent ... I'm the child. I am 16 years old I weigh 250lbs and I am 5'3 1/2" I have an underactive thyroid and I hadn't been informed of it until a few years ago... I also have sleep apnea which doesn't exactly help either I try to take my medication for my thyroid around the same time every day but it never works that way and I do not use my c-pap at night either but I have been on diet after diet and I never lose a pound! I am so desperate I feel like my fat is suffocating me and I have been researching for residential placement for overweight children because I cannot do this ! its so hard and I cant stay motivated I have a problem and I need to fix it I wouldn't worry as much if I didn't have medical problems due to my weight such as sleep apnea which was caused because I gained weight from my underactive thyroid I had no idea about. I am never made fun of everyone thinks im gorgeous I have many friends and family who support me but I just think being somewhere away from everyone in a new environment where I can focus on just me and losing weight to be healthier then I would have more results especially because the staff would have to give me my medication at the same time everyday and I cant remember too I always run late in the mornings and forget the medication but anyways does anyone have any input or advice as to how I should go about this ? what do you think I should do and do you think I should go to a placement or facility till I get to a healthy weight?
