My #1 advice? Don't listen to people who put you down. I was overweight when I was younger and my dad used to make fun of me constantly for being fat. Then he moved away and by the end of that summer I had lost 30 pounds. Coincidence? I think not.

Also, you have to watch that you don't put yourself down. You can't think "OMG I'm so fat and ugly, I've got to lose weight!" Becuase then you will be stressed, and stress makes you gain weight, and even if you do manage to lose weight in that mindset, you are setting yourself up for a lasting negative self image. It's better to look at it in an "I'm good but I could be better" mindset.

Ah, trust me to always look at things from a psychological point of view! Well, good luck to all of you!
