Ht. 5'8, Wt. 170 - my parents won't let me go to the track by my self and i live behind it pretty much! and i told them i want to lose up to 30 pounds this summer and they're like OK you can go to the track but when i ask they say no! and when my Mom goes shopping for food i put health food on the list and she never gets it now! finally i made her buy me a bag of salad things. also they won't let me buy clothes that make me look slimmer only baggy clothes! it makes me so mad! so when i wear the baggy clothes i look like someone who got gastric bypass (spelling)! all my friends when there was still school said i looked 150 cause I'm tall and have long legs, i wear a size 12/14 pants and all my friends wear like 6's... i wore that in 6th grade! i used to be skinny till 6th grade when i started my first "time" and gained weight along with grew a foot. well later

Rachel, I'm tall too (5'5) and I'm 150lbs and I have wore pretty clothes (not tight, not baggy either) and I have felt pretty in them I know how it feels to not wear things you love. As for your mom---have you tried sitting down with her and telling her this? I think she needs to know that you need her support. If that doesn't work you could try asking her if you can use your own money to buy some health foods next time you go to the store (I know it's a drag but there it is) if you want to lose weight you've got to be on those things. Hope I helped.
