How tall are you? It depends on your height whether you are really overweight or not.
It doesn't matter what other people think of your body, its if you are happy with it or not. In other words, you shouldn't try to lose weight just because some people call you fat. Its a fact that all the gimicks and 'miracle' products and treatments you can buy won't doing anything. The only way you can lose weight is through excercise and eating a healthy balanced diet of fruit and vegetables and carbohydrates. I know you've probably heard it all before and you are looking for an easier way out, one that you can stick to more easily, but the fact is, that is the only way you are ever going to lose weight.
I know how you feel though, I'm 14, and I'm trying to lose weight. Its so unfair, all my friends are totally skinny and they can eat whatever they want!
I've had experience with the whole weight-loss thing, I have tried everthing, and a balanced diet and excercise are the only things that work.
