CRIPES. You are NOT overweight. PLEASE stop letting your
peers affect how you think about yourself, or make
you think you should 'look a certain way.' That's them,
you are you.

But I know that almost everyone is dissatisfied with herself/himself. If You really want to lose weight that badly, You should simply follow the advices above, but please note two things. Losing 20 pounds (in Your case) is very extreme and unhealthy. This kind of thing (going on a diet) requires a change in Your lifestyle.

DDv has been onto something with you Queenie from the get
go and it's weird that we're now 2 guys giving 'advice'in a
'Ask A Girl' forum but whatever...your thread and
what I know is probably happening with you in life really aggrevates
me to no end. And not just with you but with a lot of girls who
I know are going through the same shit.

As DDv mentioned, if you're not seeing yourself the way you
want, the only thing we can say to you whether you actually
take action or not, is to mentally start seeing yourself eating
differently....for starters.

After reading this thread the first things that came to mind,
that would easily help you with this were:

NutriSystem

and

P90 Workout (A 90 Day Program that WILL change you)

You're only 17 and you've still got a good 6-7 years before
your body really stops changing on it's own. The links I put up
above are something that both me and my g/f use and the one I
wanted to stress more than the other was the NutriSystem Plan.
With the plan, you choose what pre-packaged meals you want to
get from them, and while you're eating what they send to you---
you're losing weight. And what DDv was saying about most diets
being lifestyle alterations is true, which is why they don't work
for most people. Nutrisystem only has you eating regularly (not
irregularly) with foods that are what you should be intaking at your
height/age (carbohydrates and the right amounts of protein and fiber,
yet it is still low in fat) level while maintaining your hunger levels.

The P90 Workout was (what I think/know) a great follow up to
that because you're strength training which IMMEDIATELY increases
your stamina, immune system, cardio, and sustained energy
levels thoughout everyday.

I'm hoping that maybe you have a part time job or something
already because I HIGHLY recommend these ideas to you. Take
action girl, do your damndest to ignore what your peers might
say, because being healthy and energetic not only feels awesome,
suddenly you're looking awesome too.

*edit* If you didn't know this already, you should know
that animalistically, all men prefer a women with curves, AKA,
child-bearing hips, AKA, shape---*ahem*---this means:
NO SKINNY MINNIES. LOL

Peace.

I highly agree with that. :)

Amen, DualFace.

You're certainly NOT over weight.
Losing twenty pounds, with your stats, wouldn't be the healthiest choice for you.
If you want to become a more active person, set up a routine that works best for you & and has about equal amounts of cardio & light weight training in order to be fit.
And if this is indeed your goal, don't think of it as 'dieting' if you change your eating habits, you're simply eating healthier because from the sounds of it you don't need to lose any weight.

And keep in mind that everyone is built differently -- there are people that are naturally stocky, average or beanpole skinny, since we're all different we have different shapes & metabolisms. Being stick-skinny is not as glamorous as The Hills n' other crap make it out to be.
I know it can be rough sometimes as it seems like there is so much pressure to try to fit in the super-skinny mold ('cause we ladies see it all over TV & Magazines) and it is just plain stupid.

If you want to make changes in your life habits that is great -- but only make them if you have your health & well-being at top priority, not anything based on forms of peer-pressure or for vanity.
As for making active choices - good luck.
I hope you have more confidence in yourself & ignore those who would be jealous jerks of normal figured people.
**You know they are! They wouldn't be that way if they weren't ;)

Stay strong

Maybe there, but here all the officers get fat by the military, respect for the exceptions.

[DDv]

Only the high-ranking officers, but this is the same in every country.
