Alright, I'll keep doing that. (:

Okay. I'll tell her that.
She'll turn 13 soon, so then she can join this site. (:

You can post your questions on the message boards and I will see them and respond.

As for your cousin, you have to be 13 to join this site. So please let her know that once she is 13 she can join, but not before that. Another site that she can use until then is www.kidshealth.org.

Ohkay. Thank you.
Is it all right if I talk to you sometimes, just so I can ask questions and get motivation?
Also, i have a 12 year old cousin named Megan who wants to join. Is it healthy for her to join this site, since it's just for teens and all? Or is there another site that she could use?

It can be hard to not compare yourself to others. Everyone is built differently though, so you really can't expect to look like someone else.

Genetics, height, body frame, etc are all factors into how a person looks at their weight. Also, just because someone is skinny, it doesn't mean that they are healthy. Focus more on being healthy, rather than just being skinny. You don't appear to be overweight as you are. Sometimes we don't see ourselves as we really are. Sometimes we may see ourselves heavier than we actually are.

Okay, well a couple days ago I was at the mall. I was with my friend at abercrombie, and we found some cute stuff and went to try it on. I noticed ever more than before, that she is SO skinny. And after I relized that and looked in the mirror, I wanted to cry. It's so hard not to compare yourselves to others. So I was wondering if there is any coach that is willing to help me and talk to me through this whole experience; to motivate me and give me ideas. Like I could message you when I have a question or something.
Is there any coach (or maybe even just a member) who could help me?
Thank you so much.
