ok this may seem really clishay but i really want to be skinny i am 14 and i am 166 lbs. I dont really look like that fat but i have been really big all my life and i have always felt really insecure about my body. People at my school tell me to get liposuction and it really hurts. So since it is summer i really want to loose weight.

There was a time where i really felt motivated and i was going to eat healthy and work out. Except when i saw sweets. I just had to have them. I turned them down at first but then i give in and tell whoever to just give me one. But my dad and mom wasnt very supportive also. I told my mom to take me to work out at a place one time but every night she was just "too tired" to take me. And so when i got to my dads (my parents dont live together) i told him that i was going to buy a workout machine WITH MY OWN MONEY, and he told me that i couldn't. Then when I asked him why he just said because i said so. I mean he had no reason.

I really want to weight at most 120 because i have never been skinny. I have a fat stomach and thighs and arms and calves. If i could just loose all of that then i would be fine. I kno being skinny wont fix everything but im actually gonna work for it and i will be proud of myself. I just need some more support and knowing of how i can do it.

Basically i want to be able to go out in a bicini and not feel fat what so ever.

HELP ME PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!!! i just need help on how to loose weight and what workouts to do and what to eat......i mean im totally clueless.

So this post is ancient, but in case you still want to lose weight, I'm going to reply.

First, people shouldn't make you feel so bad about yourself if you're trying to lose weight. The first thing you need to do is love yourself, or at least like yourself. If you continue to let other people bring you down, if you do even get to an ideal weight, it will never be enough. Trust me, I've been there. If you don't love the person you are right now, then you will either not lose any weight and be so depressed and disapointed OR you will lose tons of weight and never think you're good enough.

Second, I would say that you're in a tough situation with your parents not supporting you. My mom was always telling me that I was beautiful the way I was, but she still supported my weight loss journey. Idealy, I would like you to find a friend or a teacher or anyone that you can talk to who will support you and keep you on track. If you can't find anyone in real life, turn to the internet and find people either in similar situations or that have been where you are now and were successful.

Third, nutrition is key. You hear that all the time, but it's true. Google an online BMI calculator and a calorie calculator to see where you are, where you need to be and how many calories a day you should be consuming. Also, I suggest toning down the amount of sugars and sweets you eat. Don't cut them out completely because your body will go into withdrawl and you'll want them so bad and that sucks. Always keep tabs on your proportions. Never eat a steak without greens to go along with it; never eat starches without lean meats and veggies. Things like that. Now, I personally wrote down eveything I ate and how many calories each thing was. Then I would add at the end of the day and make sure that I was within my calorie range. Also, I didn't eat after 7 and I drank TONS of water, which the water is essential. And I don't mean water with Crystal Light or anything else you add to it. Just plain water. Ice water makes your insides cold and presumably makes your body work more which could potentially help you lose the weight.

As for working out, I found a site a while ago, which I hope is still there, that the subject is "How To Get A Bikini Body In Four Weeks" and it is FULL of excersizes you can do in your room! They all tone up your body and they're private so your parents can't tell you you can't work out! But don't expect a bikini body in 4 weeks... Losing weight takes time.

Anyway, I hope this helps someone. =) Good luck!
