Hi,

I'm 15 years old, male, and I've been overweight since I was 8 years old. Once I was 14 years old, my weight got really bad, and I was obese. I weighed 164 pounds! Over that summer, I lost some weight, and I weighed 148 pounds. I don't think I lost much fat that summer, it probably was muscle. My waist was at 39 inches at that time. Now, I've gained that weight, and more. Now I weigh 170 pounds, but I've gotten taller (I was 5'3", now I'm 5'8"), and I think I've gotten more muscle. Now my waist is at 37 inches. Apparently, I've lost some fat (atleast on the stomach), although I gained weight. Well, I'm here at 170, and I am still not happy at all with my weight. I still am overweight, (I think by about 15-20 pounds), and I want to lose it by the time next summer comes around (about June).

I have alot of inner thigh fat that I need to lose, along with some fat on my stomach. After I found out that what I was doing lately hasn't been working, I decided to join a forum where I could get advice (and possibly give advice) from people who are in the same boat as me.

I'm actually not very bad at sports (of course, I can't run very fast), but I've got some kind of talent, I guess, that makes me better than my looks would suggest. I love sports (I'm a Dallas Cowboys fanatic), but I would love more to lose this unsightly fat!

So, here's to joining my new family!
 
Welcome to the site!
 
Despite the fact that you're a cowboys fan... :D welcome to the forum...

Given your age... and my non-maternal maternal instincts... Have you had a discussion with your parents and/or family doctor about your goals? You are still a growing boy/young man and you really want to make sure you are getting proper nutrition and doing things healthily.

Some of the easier lifestyle changes that you can make are in your snacking/drinking habits...

Welcome to the forum, feel free to start up a diary to record your challenges, victories, recap of cowboys games that they get they lose :D
