Hello, I am Kellie. I have a weight issue. I am 170 - 180 lbs. I don't always stay the same everyday but it is always in between 170 and 180 lbs. I am 5'4, 15 1/2 years old, and I am in 9th grade. I used to do sports until I moved to Texas. This year I am in Army JROTC and we are just getting into PT. Thing is I am so over weight and so unhealthy, that it hurts when we work out and I can never make it through PT. And I can never seem to lose weight. Can you help me please ? I need it.
Hi Kellie,
During the workouts, you have to make the difference between ‘good’ pain and ‘bad’ pain: ‘good pain’ means your muscles are working as they should and you have to push yourself to perform the exercise, which is normal. ‘Bad pain’ means you’re hurting your joints, tendons, muscles or ligaments because either you didn’t warm-up long enough, or the exercise is too violent/high-impact, or you’re not performing the move with proper form.
Try to avoid ‘bad pain’ by asking the trainer for low-impact exercises or beginner variations. It’s much better and more effective to perform a beginner variation of a move correctly than to perform a hardcore move with bad form. The trainer will understand that someone who carries extra weight cannot perform body weight exercises or jumps as well as someone with no extra weight. It’s not even a matter of being in shape or not: if you’d put ankle & wrist weights on a person who isn’t overweight, she too would have difficulty performing the move.
About the weight issue: educate yourself about nutrition and don’t get discouraged. Weight loss (as well as many other things in life) is a chain of continued efforts, a process that occurs slowly over time. Think of yourself as a work of art in progress!

Just wanted to add, never being able to lose weight even when exercising and eating right are symptoms of hypothyroid issues. Having a Dr check hormone levels may be beneficial in some cases. I was diagnosed with Hashimoto’s Thyroiditis 2 years ago.
