I have always felt like the only teen with a weight issue... i am never comfortable talking about my weight or being around well fit people.
Any advice on how to over come it?
i want to be healthier but not being able to talk about it makes it difficult for me to get the help i need.

Well, I guess I am not officially a teen anymore but I am only 20 so I know how you feel. I always felt like I was the only one with a weight issue too. My friends could eat McDonalds and when I did... well lets just say a couple years of that got me here
but anyway I am doing really great with the program.. I thought I was too young to join, but my mom encouraged me and my boyfriend is real supportive too. So anyway its good that you are getting healthier. I just hit 20 pounds and I just was thinking about how like cat liter weighs 20lbs and thats sooooo heavy so its cool to actually pick up something that weighs that much that you have lost... keep up the good work. you are not alone#4

I'm 13 and I feel you. I dance and try to eat healthy, but I always seem to be gaining. I'm 158 pounds. I really need to lose it to dance without hurting myself. I really wanna do Jenny, but my mom said it won't work.
I'm honestly willing to try anything at this point.

You can always talk to your bestfriend about it, thats what i do... its so hard for me not to eat junk food b/c i have these urges to do so.. i hate it. and i wish i had a good metabolism like other people.. but i guess i have to suck it up and work harder to loose weight..
Hang in there girl xoxo

Me and my best friend used to be closer in weight but then I gained about 30 pounds from the hardest year of my life. I havent had the courage to tell her or anyone about me being on Jenny, my family knows but thats it. Does your friend know?

Hey Rysa,
I'm 17 and also from Texas...and I totally understand what you mean. I am really self consious about my weight like I even get nervous going to the gym. But you just have to remember that im trying to lose weight and that im probably never gunna se those people again unless there at the gym the same time I am or something like that so it really doesnt matter that they think. And its really hard sometime to think that but it helps alot. And its really not the appearence that matters its how you treat other and how you act. you know. and that ur happy. so forget all those skinny people that make u feel unconfertable around them. just be happy with ur self.
thats what i think lol. omg and like my best friend lauren shes like a twig and i get jelous sometimes when we go shopping together cause of all the cute cloths she wears and how guys look at her and stuff. but one day ill be skinny like that. well not that skinny lol. but fit. hahaha. wright back!

it sucks that i cant tell my parents about it cause they wont be supportive( food being frozen and can be kept for so long. )
I put the food and verything in my friend's home and take whatever needed everyday. tsk
how long did it take u to lose 20?
you are doing great! keep it up!

you are NOT alone. trust me. i feel the same way.
i have never wanted to talk about it with anyone UNTIL i joined jenny. now it is so easy for me to talk to my friends and family about, and even the people who bring me down dont seem to bother me as much anymore bc i know i am doing an awesome thing for myself. i have lost 26lbs and have a long way to go but i know i am headed in the right direction.
keep up the good work!
