Do the healthy thing and just reduce your intake and become more active.\n\nDon't get sucked into the marketing propaganda machine of companies that just want your money and don't give a damn about how you look, feel or about your health.\n\nRapid weight loss is a fool's errand.  You're 15 and you are growing.  Eat healthy, be healthy and be active.  Help Mom around the house, do some sort of sports, run!\n\nHave a good life!

What's your age? :/\nGender i'm guessing female?\n\n---\n\nBased upon your current Body Mass Index (BMI) of 15.6, you are currently classed as underweight.\n\nA healthy BMI for your gender and age is between 20 and 24 and a reasonable weight loss rate is 0.5 to 1 kg a week.\n\nYou should eat more darling. You should consume about 1800 calories a day, and stick to it till your 18. IT WON'T Make you fat, eating more doesnt mean you'll get fat unless you eat junk food/fastfood. Stick to good clean foods, lots of veggies, fruits, fibre rich foods(grains), and lean meat.\nYou will look better than ever.\n\nGood Luck!\n\n----\nps. the BMI link provided by "oO_lOVE_diSAStER_Oo"\nisnt a proper one to use, me having 4% of bodyfat, the rest being lean tissue and bones it says i'm overweight (LOL)

You are too young for a diet.  Just try to eat right and stay active. Please do not worry about your size.  You are just right according to the charts.\n\nActually a little more healthy eating would do you well.

You've got some serious work to do!  30 pounds in three months!  I believe it can be done, but let's get one thing straight...your goal is not to drop 30 pounds, it's to fit into that dress.  Remember that.  The scale might not be moving on your journey, but you may be loosing inches.  Keep track of both to combat discouragement.\n\nOK. Weight Loss is 80% diet and 20% exercise...give or take a few percentage points. If you eat whatever you want, and exercise a ton, thinking it's going to give you the body you want, it won't. Trust me, I've tried. Diet is the MOST important when you're trying to drop weight.\n\nCenter your diet around: Whole Grains (100% whole wheat bread, tortillas, etc.), colorful fruits and veggies (eat the rainbow), lean sources of proteins (eggs, poultry, lean beef), and healthy fats (nuts, olive oil, avocados, etc.). Avoid white foods like the plague: white flour, white sugar, white potatoes (have a sweet potato instead, more vitamins!), etc.\n\nAlso, be aware of how your food is cooked. Was there butter added? Was it fried? Is there added MSG or salt? You might be a pain when you go out to eat, but hey, it's your money!\n\nDiet comes down to calories in vs. calories out. It's that simple. That being said...eating small meals throughout the day keeps you from feeling deprived and you are less likely to get hungry and go on a binge.\n\nPlease don't think I'm discounting the importance of exercise. It will help you feel strong and more confidence, not to mention speed and retain your weight loss. Get moving! Make sure to get your heart rate up! And if you find something that you can enjoy, the better! Try step aerobics, a new sport, get out and play soccer with the kids. Schedule it into your schedule like a doctors appointment and DON'T MISS IT!\n\nShoot for 1-2 pounds a week. You can defiantly drop some pounds and get into that dress in a couple of months! But get started...the sooner, the better!\n\nHopefully this helps.

being able to run for 20 or 30 minutes is an awesome goal.\nWork first on moving for that time, run walk run. \nat your height 117 is in the low end of normal for bmi approaching underweight. http://www.wholefitness.com/tools.html\nso maybe what you need to do is work on healty choices, do not go for skipped meals or starvation cycle you will lay down fat. You will also miss vital nutrients you need for a healthy body.\nAt 15 you have resources to use, ask you coaches for a work out that will tone the areas you are wanting to look better. Not Bulk lifting but toning and excercises. Work toward a healthy diet and excercise program. Your health teachers and coaches can be a huge value to you right now.\nIf you have access to a fitness center like a ymca they can help too. \nwork on a toning routine keep up the aerobic work. This should become an active life style you enjoy not a hated chore. Try to find activities you like such as swimming, cycling, even walking. Good luck.

People- People, you're missing the point, she's 5 feet and 7inches- plus, she's 170 pounds,not 5"2 and 170 pounds- for the height of 5"7, it's not bad. now i'm a guy, am 5"6\nand weigh around 180-  I would say, for a guy, that's not too bad, but for a girl, she can loose about i'd say -maybe 20-25 pounds to be around 145 or even alittle less to have a good figure, you will feel much better with yourself. \nBut it's all in a matter of one's taste! \nDon't let anyone pressuring you into thinking you're fat- and have to do major weight change. Think ahead of how you want to loose that weight, and again, don't feel pressured, because that can just mess up your whole eating order, and then nothing will work later on in life. Be paitent, and discuss with someone who knows these kinds of things, who can help you properly loose that weight that you, yourself feel that you have to get rid of! Don't  jump into doing things you're not sure about!

I think you just needed to vent a little! You should be proud of how you look no matter what size you are. As long as you're healthy and happy, that is all that matters. Don't worry about what other people think.

Whoever says that losing 15 lbs. this quickly is unhealthy is dumb.  You have over a month to lose 15 lbs. that's only a little over 3 lbs. a week that you need to lose.  Cut out as many carbs as you can (and all refined/white sugar) - you will lose weight really quickly this way.  Try to exercise, too (cardio), b/c that'll help good luck!

it depends on how you are built. everybodys diffrent. if you are a size 6, then i dont see anything wrong with you.  if you want to lose a few pounds, then just cut out sugar and some carbs, but if you are happy with your weight and size , then don;'t change a thing.

You're really, really bored, aren't you?  I'm rather shocked at people who are taking you seriously.  In my humble opinion, you are severely underweight.  At your height, you should not weigh less than 350.  Eat up, snookums!

I have answered 1 of your questions b 4 n once again I can completely relate. The thing is that no matter how much I eat it just seems to be that I don't gain weight, so I don't know much about gettin fat, but people always say if I keep eatin the way I do I will be. When it gets to that point, or even close try to eat a little healthier and better. Also like you I eat comfort food whenever I'm feeling a little down. The thing is not to overdo it. Fat, skinny, big or little, that is not healthy. But once again just feel good and confident about how you look. In your eyes you should be the best looking thing on this Earth. Overall I jus hope that you don't feel to bad about your appearance. Plus get your prom dress altered a little if you do put on a pound or 2. But once again don't overdo it. Hope this helps, and good luck at the prom :)

I'm about your same size, but I'm 24. I always feel fat too. \nBut it's more that I don't have many flattering clothes for my build.\nTry researching body types and find clothes that suit your body.\nIt will help, I promise.

There is no "ideal weight". It depends on the build, how heavy are you bones, how much muscle you have. I would say it's when you look in the mirror and think "Hey, I like my body the way it looks now". Sadly, it will never be really perfect, so we have to accept the little flaws - too big hips or ankles not thin enough. Not many of us have model's bodies and I know plenty of girls who look better with slight curves rather than being really skinny. \n\n      I was overweight for many years, since childhood and couldn't lose my fatty bits. When I finally made it I felt just wonderful! My confidence skyrocketed and I almost ransacked the clothes shops. So it is worth the sacrifices. How did I make it? I started with a friend, it's much easier to have a diet buddy or two than to do it on your own. We had 1000 calories a day and made a note of everything  we ate, which were mainly vegetables.  Not less than 1000 Cal a day - otherwise your organism goes to a "starvation mode" and just reduces the amount of energy it needs so you might stop slimming. Besides, you are only 15 and still growing. It's truth what they say - the slower you lose wieght the easier to keep you new figure.\n\n    We also exercised on average 1 hour a day. It's important to exercise. Not only you lose weight faster, but also your body doesn't burn  so much muscles in proportion to fat. I recon 3 months is just about right time to lose about 20 pounds and see a real difference. Good luck. It's really worth it.

No, you don't need to lose 95lb! If your waist measurement is 36 inches, then you are at a reduced risk of heart disease and diabetes which is great.\n\nYou certainly don't need to go under what you were originally, if you do decide to lose weight. It's quite ridiculous for anyone to sugest you lose that much weight, you'll end up with a 24-26 inch waist!!\n\nHave your body fat percentage checked. If it is less than 25%, that is considered acceptable and less than 18% body fat would be considered ideal. HTH : )

the only time it's meaningful to analyze your weight by considering your height is if there is a possibility that you are grossly underweight or grossly overweight - you're obviously neither.\n\nyour main question - "am i fat" - really breaks down to three different questions:\n1) do I look fat (to myself or others)\n2) am I "fat" in comparison to other people\n3) am I "fit"\n\nthe answers to your main question vary accordingly:\n1) you say you like your breasts and your butt - that's a great thing right there, to like your body and accept it. there are as many opinions on what looks "fat" to other people and you'll never be happy if you worry about what anyone else thinks as long as you think you look good.\n\n2) there is no "average" human being - there are only statistics about the range of possibilities for human bodies. your weight, your age, your build (small boned or stocky, etc.), your gender, and other factors all contribute to how your body looks and feels.\n\n3) this is the ultimate question, really. if you exercise every day (about 30 minutes of aerobic exercise), lift weights a few times a week for an hour at a time (to have muscles that make your body look good and which burn more fat and calories), and eat well (cut out all junk food, fast food, and anything like it, eat a good balance of protein, carbs, and good fats, like almonds), you will be fit, you will have less fat on your body, and you will look and feel good.
