From Destinee, Age 12 - 10/07/12 - IP#: 50.80.105.xxx Click here to reply Ht. 5'7", Start: 142 lb, Today: 142 lb (BMI %tile: 85), Goal: 125 lb - I feel so horrible about my weight. Last time I was weighed in I was 142 and it's still considered overweight. I was like but i lost 14 lbs! Today's weight isn't accurate because I think I gained more. :( I wear an 11 in pants which means I dropped a pants size. When it first happened I was so enthusiastic about it. But it seems like i can't go any lower. I haven't been shopping lately but my 11 pants feel big, but I mostly wear Arizona so I'm scared to try anything else. I wish I could be in a 3 or a 5 like my friends. Please try to motivate me!!!!!

Reply from Maya, Age 12 - 11/21/12 - IP#: 223.132.81.xxx I`m overweight too. With a size 6 jeans but...I weight 143lb, and am only 5`2 bordering 5`3. I hate it when I look at a picture and realize how fat I really am. I look completely different in the mirror and even doctors are shocked at 143lbs. They thoughts I was 123-126lbs cause I swim and am very muscular. However I`m huge... But don`t loose hope. Sometimes even if you gain weight you lose sizes naturally, or if you lose weight sometimes you lose but dont lose clothing sizes. This summer, in July I went from a size 10 to a size 6 in jeans. I still stayed in size 10 shirts but now I`m narrowing towards size 8. It`s natural don`t worry your only 12.
