my cousin is really overweight she was over earlier this night and she was telling me about how she wants to kill herself because ever one teases her about how fat she is. its really hard for her to find clothes and she feels like she shouldnt be alive i guess. shes only 14 in 9th grade and weighs im guessin 230. she hates bein around people cause they always pick on her, and she hardly goes out of the house and last year she hardly went to school because of it. can you guys help me out by giving me some excercizes she can do or what not to eat? and should she see a doctor? because they think she might have thighroids or something. thanks. also how long would it take her to lose like 35 pounds?

Well,If you think she has thighroids,DEFINITELY take her to the doctor right away.
I lost 24 pounds during the summer using the atkins diet and excercise,but slightly modified because im still growing and need calcium,or maybe I cannot work out as hard as an adult etc.
She should have a doctor help select a program based on her specific needs,and customized to her age.
It takes time to lose weight,it is different for every person.The important thing to do is keep at it,even when the water weight comes off and you are losing very slowly.
The following diets DO NOT work:
cottage cheese
or any diet where you only eat one type of food!!:)
REMEMBER:Crash diets are bad for obvious reasons,but also somthing to keep in mind is that if you lose weight TOO fast,You will have lots of loose skin that was sretched out,and it will not shrink back.
Also,dont forget to maintain!
Find friends or family to help for support,and mix it up so you dont get bored!
try yoga,aerobics,or dancing to your favorite music.
There are punk rock aerobics,belly dancing aerobics,whatever you like best!
Watch the calories,they sell generic brand popsicles that have 30 calories,and they are so good!(For moments when your feeling weak)
also,dont forget to take a break once in awhile for a day or two!
Well hope that helped :)
If I can do it,so can you :):)
