             Question:

Many kids say they keep this website a secret from parents or friends. If you keep this site or your weight loss attempts a secret, what is the reason you do so? 
                         (vote for one)

  I don't want anyone to know that being overweight really
    bothers me.

  I am worried that I may fail at losing weight.

  I'm afraid that people will think I care too much about my 
    weight.

  I don't want to call attention to the fact that I am 
    overweight.

  My losing weight would bother my family or friends because
    they are also overweight.

  I don't want people to know that I have to struggle to 
    obtain a healthy weight.

  I don't keep it a secret that I'm trying to lose weight, I 
    just keep this website a secret.

  There's another reason I keep weight loss attempts or this    
    site a secret (describe below), (or your general comments):

If you keep your weight loss attempts or this site a secret, from whom do you keep it a secret? (check all that apply):

Parents    Brothers/sisters    Friends    Your doctor



Age     Height    Weight (lb  kg)   female  male

                                                        Note: 1 stone = 14 pounds
