From thea, Age 15 - 08/23/11 - IP#: 208.54.36.xxx Click here to reply Ht. 5'2", Start: 178 lb, Today: 175 lb (BMI %tile: 98), Goal: 111 lb - heeyy theree :-) lol So today I had a physical so I could try out for volleyball and I was really excited because I could get see how much I weigh ( my scale in my bathroom is broken )and how much taller I've grown (I found i 'm actually a inch shorter than I thought I was I went from 5'3 to 5'2 :( ). My doctor told me because of my weight I'm at risk of high cholestoral, high blood pressure, and being diagnosed with prediabetes so they drew my blood to find out whether or not I have one of those. I mean I was already fully aware of that because of this website but tt really put things in perspective when you're being told this to your face. I gained some new found motivation and I really want to change my life for the better. I'm tired of saying I'm going to become healthy and not committing. I don't want to be another statistic, another overweight teenager. I truly want to make a change.Wish me luck the results of my bloodwork are coming at the end of the week!

I heard of this great site for kids called mychildshealth.net they even give you rewards for signing on, blogging and recording your information. Check it out and good luck
