hi i am 175cm tall and i weigh 11 stone my 2 best mates danny and adam are dead slim! adam weighs 8 stone 4 pounds and danny weighs 8 stone 6 pounds and both are taller than me! the other day Adam said he started getting hair growing on his belly and he showed me his belly and it was flat, then he told me to show him if i had any hair growing and i had to suck my belly in to show him, after he said that i had a strange belly button but i know it was only strange because i sucked in my belly! My mates reckon i weigh 9 stone 5 pounds but i dont or ether my scales r broken or something! Does anyone have the same problem or weigh the same as me? oh yeah 1 stone = 14 pounds sorry I didn’t change the weights to pounds!

Everyone has a different build and body type. My mate Greg was extremly overweight when he was younger and is very fit now as an adult. Pay attention to what your eating. Start replacing your sweets with things that taste good, but are lower in fat and calories. Get invovled in a sport activity (or learn to skate board, or something other activity that gets you moving). You are still young and growing, so do not diet too much. Get support from your family and realize you are the same as your mates(just maturing on a different schedule). Love yourself and your body, and NEVER let anyone make you feel inadequate:)
