Quibblo.com Reports Teens Feel They Are Overweight And Out Of Shape

To get in shape in '09, tweens and teens say they will eat healthier (46 percent) rather than diet (36 percent). 

Fifty-three percent of tweens/teens respondents have never been on a diet, while 17 percent said that they have tried a few different diets and had some successes. 

 When asked how they feel about their current weight, in a recent survey conducted on Quibblo.com, more than half of the respondents (60 percent) said they believe they weigh too much. More than half said they feel like their life would be dramatically improved if they achieved their ideal weight. 

When asked what motivates them to improve their physical appearance, over half of the tween and teen respondents cited seeing photos of themselves and picking flaws from these photos, followed by comparing themselves to friends and seeing "perfect" models and celebrities in magazines, TV and movies.
