Yah lissen to what those other girls said. Also, what are you eating? Your deffinitly getting enough exercise but you might just eat a lot. Thats why your staying at the same weight. Or, are you eating a lot of unhealthy foods? Thats the only thing I can think of. Or you probally just are all muscle. And remember, being curvey is in. I'd rather have a big butt then no butt at all.

i have the same issue. everyone tells me im not fat and they think im crazy cuz i know im fat (except my parents,they put me down alot because of it). go to your doctor and have them test your blood for hypothyroidism. that's what i have. hope this helps...good luck!

its most probable that you are almost all muscle, and muscle weighs more than fat. don't worry about it, you should be proud of that!!! don't be one of those people who want to be so thin that it looks like a "toothpick". Im sure you look fine, keep doing what you're doing and be happy with yourself. If people say you aren't fat, than you aren't. Just go with your instincts! good luck!!
