I'm a 17 year old female, 5'5", weigh about 138-140...I don't know how it happened, but in such a short amount of time I went from being 130ish to 140! I'm so upset about it and can't seem to loose any weight. I know i sound really selfish and everything, but I've been teased before in my life (even though I wasn't terribly overweight or anything) and my weight really affects how I think about myself.

I'm active and like to go to the gym about 4-5 times a week, but sometimes it's really hard with school, work, boyfriend, friends, and the fact that my gym is 20 minutes away.  I eat a vegan diet, with plenty of fruits and veggies. I have a well rounded diet. I just really need some help and ideas to help me loose about 10-15 pounds........arrrgggg

Has anyone else been through this situation before? What did you do to combat your weight gain? Any advice would be helpful! Thank you.
