Ht. 5'2", Wt. 397 - Hi guys and girl, I'm Crystal I'm 13 and 5'2" and weigh 397lbs. I weigh almost 400lbs. I can barely move and all I do is go from my bed to the computer to the bathroom all day, I watch tv all the time and my parents bring me my food because whenever I walk I get out of breath easily everyone has to help me to get up. Even when I get up from my bed to go to the computer I get out of breathe and feel like I'm going to faint. My belly is huge and my parents and family always tell me I'm so fat and huge, do you have any suggestions on how to start a healthy life style? I can't do a lot because I'm so heavy so if you have suggestions make sure they aren't extreme. Thank you.

I'll look for more posts from you and I'll be sure to reply. Good luck.

Reply from Natalie, Age 17 - 05/22/06 - IP#: 71.224.97.xxx I feel bad for you, but honestly, it's your own fault. You put the food into your mouth, and you let yourself get that big. Your only 13 yrs old, you can turn yourself around. Cut your calorie intake to 1000 a day and drink water. Get off the computer and move. Im overweight, but Im nowhere near 400 lbs, and wouldnt allow myself to get that big. Get off your butt and move.
Reply from ashley, Age 15 - 05/22/06 - IP#: 24.64.223.xxx i dont think its right that ur family tells u thats ur fat because there the 1's that feed u. So dont let them put u down. Move around as much as posible and only drink water nothin else at all and tell ur parents to by only heathly food so u can lose the weight! i belive that u can do this it will take some time but just take it slow and u will start sheding the pounds!

Reply from Mikayla, Age 15 - 05/21/06 - IP#: 24.18.50.xxx Cut your calories to sporadic small meals throughout the day. It will only be 1200 calories but you will be eating often enough that you won't get hungry very often, if at all. Then just take it slow and walk for a few more minutes each day. If you have trouble moving around, I recommend hand weights to build up some muscle. Good luck! We're all here to support you.

Reply from Samantha, Age 17 - 05/21/06 - IP#: 24.61.182.xxx Crystal, do you go to school or are you home schooled? It sucks wicked bad that your family if discouraging but this is your chance to prove them wrong. Um, I was thinking of excercise type things that aren't extreme and one thing I thought of was... while you're in bed squeeze up all your muscles really tight and hold it for as long as you feel like and then relax. Do it as many times as it feels ok. ABSOLUTELY ANY EXTRA MOVEMENT BURNS CALORIES even if it's just a few. so jiggle your whole body or raise your arms or bend your knees. Anything extra will help. Put on some music when you're alone and move to be beat however much you're able to. It's hard to change your eating habbits when you're not getting your own food but try to stay in tune to when you're full and stop when you feel that way. Your body it telling you it doesn't need any more food. Good luck. Let me know if you think this sounds ok.
