Me and my brother are both overweight. I am 5'8" and 190 lbs, and he is 5' and 140 lbs. He is 9. We both wear size 34 pants, sometimes I have to go up to 36. My dad is thin. He is 6' and 170 lbs. He wears 32 pants. When he took me and my brother shopping for dress clothes, he yelled at us when he had to buy bigger clothes for us than what he wears. What can me and my brother do to not be so fat anymore?

Hey Blake.. My mother recently lost 45 lbs while working with a group called TOPS.. I was really happy for her and everything since I am also overweight. I am bigger than my mother too and sometimes she yells at me. I know she loves me and everything and your parents do too. Size shouldnt and DOESNT matter.. its the inside that counts. Dont let anyone tell you different.If you arent already active in sports that is one piece of advice I can give. I am looking for a weight-watching buddy.. If you are interested please email me at basketball_chic@angelfire.com and GOOD LUCK

Blake try not to let your weight problem get to you. You should try talking to your dad and telling him it hurts your feelings when he yells at you for being overweight. Try talking to Jenna, I should too, actually. Also, if you don't already play some sports, especially now that it's summer. Soccer and ~swimming~ are great excercise! Good luck!

Dear Blake,
Hey! I feel your pain. I have been overweight my entire life and I know how you feel. My uncle is a toothpick compared to the rest of us and there are times when I get so mad at him I could scream!! But you have to remember that everyone is different and that no matter how big or small you are your parents will love you.

You CAN DO IT!!
