Hey, I'm 5'3, going into 9th grade, and I weigh 146 lbs. I'm trying to get down to around 125-130. I don't really exercise much more than jumping on a trampoline, swimming around for a half hour or so, and playing backyard sports like once a week. It's hard for me to diet since my parents don't acknowledge my weight problem, they just buy more junk. The only time I am addressed as being fat is when my brother or friends get mad at me, and cant think of anything else to say. So, if anyone has dieting tips please email me at derekl52888@yahoo.com, or respond here, and I won't mind having a dieting buddy, but I won't know what to do.
