A member asked:

Hi , am 16 yrs old, im very fat & weigh about 85 kg, height 168cm, i have no sign of reducing my weight. any advice?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Has to be willing: Can't force a 16 yo to lose weight if he/she doesn't want to. So, 1st step is to get person motivated so that he/she wants to do it for him/herself. It's also easier sometimes to not have to go it alone. The whole family/household making a change for healthy eating would help.
