I don't know your height so I'm going to assume you are average height. First off, you are 14. You can change this. You have plenty of time to change your body so you have things the way you want them. I'm assuming you have an underactive thyroid. That coupled with being a diabetic makes things a little bit tricky for you. The thyroid would slow your metabolism and then being a diabetic, you need to have a certain calorie intake. For now, lets look at the exercising. Not all exercising has to be at the gym. It's easy to get bored with any exercise. I don't want to scare you here, but people with thyroid disorders often have ADD (attention deficit disorder) or OCD (obsessive compulsive disorder) both of which will make it harder to stay interested in things. It would be a good idea to ask your doctor about both. I would say to find several ways to have fun while burning calories. If you have a dog, take it for walks or slightly longer walks than you do now. If you like taking pictures, go for a walk and take pictures while you do. Make it about using the walking to get where you have fun. I say walking because anybody can do it. If you get bored with that, just go to a playground and shoot hoops. It burns twice as many calories as walking does and you feel you are doing something. You are not that overweight as it is. You just want to be a little more active. Try to go swimming a little more. Anything you love to do outside is good. You can do this. The main thing is to get out of the house. If you aren't inside, you aren't looking at food. Plus you probably are doing something that's helping your cause. If you just get used to being a little more active, you will notice changes. let's look at it this way. lets say you are 30 pounds overweight and your goal is 125 pounds. to be 30 pounds overwight, that means you gained about 2 pound 2 much a year of your life. that works out to having 20 calories too many a day. it isn't that much of a lifestyle change for you to be fine.

a good diet would be only to eat three or four times a day adn each food product you eat should only be a serving size, its on the backof all bozes bags whatever, you can eat whatever you want but only up to 1500 calories a day. adn you know do 50 regular crunches, then 50 more to the right side of your legs, then 50 more to the left side of your legs a day, adn about 50 to 100 pushups a day. adn run about a mile-ish a day. dont try and do all this at once, work ur way up to this.
all you have to do is think how good you'll look afterwards if you keep workin out!

well, first of all, I applaud you for wanting to stick to it :) Some things you can do to help you lose weight:
- Drink 8 glasses of 16 oz. waters a day, cooled to about 40 degrees f. That burns about 200 calories a day :)
-start walking. I suggest you don't run unless you can run long distances. and when you do walk, powerwalk so you get a workout.
- make a calorie/weight chart. fill it out every day so you can track your improvements. this will definitely keep you motivated when you see that you're improving
I don't know too much about the special diets, but I will say that everyone can have their own special diet that works best for them. experiment with some healthy foods and see what works best with your body
hope I helped!
