Reply from Abbie, Age 15 - 11/28/11 - IP#: 68.13.18.xxx Hello there! Welcome to our humble abode, first to say if you have any questions, everyone on here is super nice and can help you, any difficulties- same thing! Don't call yourself ugly or fat, that lowers your self esteem; I would no because I have very low self esteem, so bad that if I talk to someone I barely know, I blush and stutter. The first thing that can help you with weight loss is water, possibly 2-3 bottles a day, take a walk, maybe with you dog or something, burns calories and keeps you active! Fruits and veggies help to. Any questions leave another comment! Hope this helps a bit!
