Why can't I lose weight?

let's start with this: I'm 16, 4'11", 155 lbs - most of it in my thighs, stomach, and breasts. I have a huge amount of muscle in my legs and in my core, but i can't seem to trim the fat off. At the weight to height ratio, i know that especially for my age that this is very unhealthy. I'm also under a lot of stress and I have stomach ulcers - these two factors don't help my problem much. I watch my diet and exercise about 5 times a week, instead of losing, i gain... Why can't i lose weight?

    I can help you if you truly want to get help. I'll just need to know what you eat in a typical day (calorie wise would be better). If you don't have the amount of calories per food, that's fine. I can "guesstimate". Based on that, we can go from there. More than likely, you're probably eating more calories above daily maintenance.

    Are you counting calories? Get on a plan, go talk to your doctor about it.
