Okay im 15 years old about 5'4 and weigh i think around 77 kilos. Personally i dont think my face is that ugly i mean its not wonderfull but im satisfied with it, its just the rest of my body. Since about year 9 i noticed all the bad things about my body. Like how i have this tan line half way up my arms so i dont like showing them and that they are quite flabby. Same with my legs and tummy. Around the end of last year i started getting stretch marks and i absolutely hate them. Not alot of people realise how hard it is to lose weight. I mean i have always been a little chubby but now i feel so ugly and i just want to be able to be confident in myself. I go to the gym as a school thing every thursday for like an hour and try to do sit ups and playin soccer with my little bro outside every day but theres only so much i can do. I'd love to take my dog for walks or go for a jog everyday but my dog gets scared easily and most days we walk for 5 mins then she wants to walk back. Im to ashamed to go out for runs by myself. I eat healthy home cooked meals and drink mostly water. I dont over eat and dont under eat. i think everyone should be proud of how they look but i dont feel that way about myself. At home in my bedroom i can wear my clothes and feel beautiful how i am but when i go outside my door i feel out of place and so hideous. I wanted to apply for a gym membership but im a year too young, and i dont know any adults who would go with me. Its hard because my sister and brother are both skinny and goodlooking and can eat everything they want without gaining weight, unfortunatley i was given the slow metabolism. i need like ways or tips on losing weight or ways to help stay on diets and exercise schedules. If i had someone to do this with, it would be easier, but its just me and i feel so alone sometimes that i just give up. Please help me, i just want to feel beautiful in my own skin! Sorry its so long.

at fifteen I actually weighed just a bit more than you and I felt okay with it. Of course, my house doesn't have a single full length mirror. I find pictures now and I look ridiculous, but...
here's the thing, I grew about 3 or 4 inches taller that following summer and started work where I had to take my lunch every day or eat subway. accidentally, I lost a whole lot of weight because at home I'd eat whatever whenever I felt like it (which was a lot). I also didn't weigh myself. By having to plan out my meals I ate less and a whole lot better. The amount of physical activity I had to do at my job and the musical I was in that summer also helped. I've basically kept up the same 147 pounds for three years now. It fits my 5'8" height and my curvy figure. I'm happy.
So what should you do? Plan out everything you eat and stick to it. When you eat what you think you need you'll eat more and not as healthy as if you plan it out. Tell your family what you're doing and that you're not going to set an unreasonable goal or even weigh yourself or look in mirrors. Don't worry too much about it, though, because you are near a point in your life where you will grow taller and look thinner.

First of all, you ARE beautiful. DOn't ever let ANYONE ever tell you or let you think otherwise. I say that with utmost confidence too even though I have never seen you. You ARE beautiful.
I can understand however that you need to improve on yourself and there's nothing wrong with that at all. I'm happy with myself as far as looks go (I'm far from perfect or looking like a model but I don't consider myself all that bad either) but like you I also feel I need to lose some extra weight I have to just improve myself physically and become more fit (health wise).
From the sounds of things though you are doing everything you can to get into shape so stick to that, you shouldn't overdo it at all. You could also try swimming instead of jogging. You'd be able to join a leisure center where they have a swimming pool very easly and swimming is very good and healthy to do (only reason I don't do it is because I can't swim). It works every muscle in your body as well as helping you with endurance, which is great for the heart.
Stick to a good diet as well but don't limit yourself too much to start off with, gradually work on it as it's easier that way to get into it and stick to it. If you (or your brother or sister) have a Nintendo Wii then use that 30 mins a day and you'll notice a big difference (use the standard sports game that it comes with - they give you one heck of a work out).
I know how it is about jogging on your own - having someone with you really does make a difference so ask your brother or sister if they will join you? Maybe even ask a friend if they will come with you, they don't even have to jog, if they have a bike they can ride along side you. At the moment that's all I can think of but getting into a diet is not easy at all (I know trust me) but as I had said give yourself some slack and get into it gradually. Another thing that really helps is letting whoever cooks or buys the food know as well about your diet routine. That way they can buy the foods that you need for your diet and also provide support and help in sticking to it - this really made a big difference with me.
I hope I was able to help a little.

when you have a shower, get out afterwards and put baby oil on your stretchmarks. do this over time and they will start to go i promise you. rich moisturizers regularly.
start drinking energy drinks, these speed up your metabolism. start halving what you eat.
try detoxing; drink only water, and eat only one type of fruit for a whole day, over the weekend.
try walking, going for walks will be slower than running; but still a good way to help you lose weight from all over your body. with or without your dog.
good luck, and start spending more time with people; start trying to spend more time out of the house; over time this will encourage confidence!!
