Hi I'm jen. I'm only a teenager and I weigh about 180 lbs. I want to weigh about 120. I don't know what to do when I was in middle school I was always the skinniest in the class. I don't know what happened and I would like to be skinny again. If you could please help me maybe I could get a boyfriend or just be happy and proud of myself, because when I look in the mirror I can't find one thing I like about myself. When I was younger I could/ so please please help me.

Teenage years are difficult as it is. You are trying to figure out who you are and who you will become.

A diet plan that helps you lose 60 lbs. quickly, is not going to be healthy for you.

First, you should start increasing your physical activity. Start a food journal and calculate when you are eating. Determine if you are an emotional eater. Once you have determined your average calorie/fat intake, decrease that amount.

Justfair is right. I just want to add, happiness comes from inside. You can be absolutely beautiful and skinny (they are not the same) and still unhappy. And being skinny doesn't get you a boyfriend either. It'll help attract guys that are into skinny girls. But having confidence and self esteem is totally necessary for any sort of relationship and that doesn't come from being skinny.
