I've never really posted information about myself online, but enough has been enough for me and I want to try and lose some weight. So, I'm a 15M 6"1' and weigh about 265 pounds. I was about average weight until 7th grade when my family moved. I have suspicions that it may have been depression but I don't want to point any fingers because that was also when I quit playing basketball. Since the beginning of my freshmen year, I have gained 50-60 pounds and I am now almost 80 pounds overweight. This is a quick side question, I have stretch marks on the bottom front and sides of my stomach, also some in my armpits; When I've lost some weight, what is a good way to deal with the extra skin? Back on to the main topic, the majority of people around me say that I don't look my weight or that I'm just "chubby" so I've never been really motivated to start; However, yesterday my family had some friends over and their 10-year-old son was with me in my room drawing some stick figured. When I looked over at him from my computer, he pointed at the picture he drew which was of me playing basketball because I hadn't seen him for ~4 years and he didn't know that I had quit. Anyways, when I looked at this picture, I noticed that when he drew all the other people, he drew them like normal stick figures yet, when he drew me, he drew a big round blob stomach. I know it's a bit stupid, but this was the first time I'd ever really thought of myself as overweight. I thought about a lot last night, and I've decided that this needs to stop, but I don't know where to start. I don't know if this is of any value but, my family has always struggled with obesity. When I was little, both of my parents were morbidly obese, but now, my father has lost all that weight because of mountain climbing and my mother got bariatric surgery or something of the sort ~2 years ago. I would also like to gain some muscle mass (In hopes of dealing with the stretch marks) I would also like to lose ~40 pounds decently fast and the other 40 at a slower rate would be fine. Thank for any advice you are willing to give.
