hey, I just want you all to know, you can do it! Dont listen to what ANYONE else says, they are just caught up with them selves. When I was 12, I weighted 237 lbs. I am now down to 125. All you have to do is be active! Instead of watching t.v., take a walk. When you want something sweet, dont deprive yourself of it, but dont have alot. just remember, the secret to losing weight is a simple, three letter word. TRY. it isnt hard! Just get of the couch, turn off the t.v. or computer and move around! You can do it! I did... and I thought I couldnt either. I used to be a big fat kid just like you guys, and I am set to run my FIRST half marathon this week. I am going to do good too! Dont care what anyone thinks of you, I know it is hard, but you can do it. just try.
