Ok I'm like 135 lbs and 4' 10" at age 11 which means I'm overweight,I'm trying to lose 75 lbs,don't ask why just cause.My cousin(used to live with)is 105 lbs and bout 5'0 at age 15,she wears a size 0,then when I need clothes to wear I go to her because she used to be a size 5 and me too but anyway she thinks I can fit into a size 0!She hands me all her size 0-3 clothes!I can't fit into those and it makes me feel bad like she torchering me but she's not cause she really doesn't think I'm fat.When I wear clothes it doesn't show but when I lift up my shirt I have a humangous gut!I usually suck it in and i don't try to my body just does it automaticly.At school there is this one boy that is shorter than me and weighs about 170 at the same age,he calls me fat and I get pissed because not to be rude but look at him.I never say it cause I know how it is to be teased.Well anyway there is this guy I absoluetly have the hots for sice the third grade(now in fifth),he doesn't know, but we are kind of close friends,but he will never see me in that kind of way I want him too!It's because he thinks I'm fat.He always looks at girls that are majorly skinny like anorexic,I'm not saying I'm going to become anorexic for this guy just I wanna lose weight.Well thats enough of my life story,do you guys have any tips on losing like 75 lbs?Thanks so much for reading my whole life problem!

Reply from Manda JH, Age 14 - 07/27/02 - IP#: 172.157.176.xxx Um, 75lbs???? Wouldn't that make you like, 60lbs? My little brother going into 4th grade weighs more than that. You're pretty short, so I wouldn't go any further under 80-85, I don't think I'd go that far either really. If this guy you like doesn't like you because you're overweight, screw him. There's much better looking guys out there, besides, you're only in 5th grade, find out who you are, and then find a guy who likes you just as you are. But that doesn't mean I'm discouraging you from losing weight (maybe not so much!) But yeah, if you aren't happy with the way you look, change it, more power to u. :-P But don't go to 60lbs. So just diet and exercise, and don't go for that guy if he likes you in the end. He won't be worth it. And for the 170lb kid, shake him off. Just ignore him, act like you don't care (look confident all the time) and he'll go away. Trust me.
