Am I too fat?

[oter21s]

I'm 97kg, 5'8 17 years old. I've been overweight since the age of 7.

I started the diet one week ago. My goals are to get healthy, grow taller than my dad, and be happy.

@oter21s it’s gonna start falling off you if you follow the diet, many people may say you won’t grow because your growth plates might be closed but don’t listen, I’ve grown in the last 4 months and I’m 18, Goodluck with the diet

@veloman Thank you for the response. So far, loving the benefits like mental clarity. I don't know if I'll grow much; my mom is very short, around 4'8-4'9, and my dad is 5'9, 176cm

@oter21s my dads 5’9 and mum 5,3 and I got to 6’1, don’t lose hope

youd be lucky to keep growing especially as your mum is so short + being overweight normally increases the rate of puberty
