Eighteen, unless there is a parent with you. Listen, try weight watchers. You can eat anything you want and just stay on a points system. Such as say you have 24 points a day. two slices of bread is one point. a big mac from mcdonalds is twenty. you figure it out. You go to meetings once a week and get weighed. it may be embarrassing at first but remember everyone in that room is going through the same thing. Since you are young obviously, the best thing for you to do is stop drinking soda, and walk thirty minutes a day. Also, drink lotsa water. Always remeber though, it takes time to lose the weight. it doesn't happen overnight.

You're worried about your weight in 9th grade?  Seriously.  It's smarter to change your habits for the long term...then you won't get fat EVER! (Imagine that!)  Eat right and exercise.  Fad diets may give you a fast weight loss...but ask around...the weight usually comes back and brings extra pounds along with it.

People always want to take diet pills to lose weight, but there is no substitute for good old-fashioned exercise.  I think if a person wants to lose weight & be healthy he/she should change their lifestyle & be physically fit overall, not just rely on pills.  Once you stop taking the pills, you have to think how you're going to maintain your shape & continue to keep the weight off.  I suggest exercising.  Taking a walk is great exercise, especially if you walk at a brisk pace - it burns a lot of calories.  Do some aerobics (I use The Firm & it's really fun) or kickboxing, anything to get your heart rate up & burn fat.  Try to do a variety of things so you stay motivated & don't get bored.

Do you need to lose weight?  That's the important question.  If you really are overweight this is what you should do:\n\nYou have to choose a heatlthy lifestyle.  Eat right, eat moderately.  Incorporate fruits and veggies and cut out the junk.  Exercise consistently, not just sporadically--a combination of cardio and strength-training would be best.  NEVER take diet pills, they are 100% not good for you.\n\nGood luck. :-)

If you take diet pills on a long term basis you will damage your health. There is no magic solution to weight control. Don't look for a quick fix. Learn how to prepare vegetables properly, and eat lots of them. One meat portion should not be bigger than the size of your palm. Be aware of the salt and fat content of the food you eat. Avoid simple sugars. Become aware of which food makes you feel more hungry. (For example, do certain cookies or chips make you want to keep on eating?) Unless you're buying salad, don't eat fast food . If you do buy a hamburger, don't add cheese and don't eat the fries. (The average fast food meal has more than twice your daily caloric requirement.) It all comes down to choosing healthy foods and limiting portion sizes. Don't go below 1200 calories per day, or your body will go into starvation mode. Starvation mode is our body's way of protecting ourselves from famine, which means it'll be harder to take the weight off and as soon as you start eating more the pounds will come back.  Moderate, regular exercise is the way to go. Find ways to build exercise into your lifestyle. Walking is great, and only requires the right shoes. Eating right is a lifelong adventure. Here's hoping you have a long life.

well first of all i dont think that 130 for 13 is over weight. Alot of my friends are 12 and they weigh about 120+. But then again what do i know. i weigh 100. well im sure that alot of your weight must be muscle, but if you honestly want to lose weight then i suggest joining a school sport with your friends. That way you will be playing a sport (which is super fun) and you will be with ur friends. If that doesnt work then how about layin off all fattening foods for about a week. If you could get into the habit that would be best. If you can, try out for the swim team...if you have it, and that way you will be gaining muscle. right now my goal is to get flat abs. If you really put your mind to it then you can REALLY do it!! OK this sounds rreeeaaallllyyyy dorky, BUT IT WORKS....On a saturday or sunday when you have absoulutly NOTHING to do, put on some sweats and turn on the tv and go to the fitness channel or a channel that has one of those workout videos, and just follow those leaders. well i hope my advise helps you. Good Luck!!!!!

Yeah go for a walk. Why do you need diet pills. Unless you are 25 or more over weight don't bitch about it. 5-10 pounds over is just vanity weight. Try having kids then tell me about weight.

Most states these days have laws regarding selling diet pills to minors. There are MUCH healthier ways to lose weight. Diet pills are not healthy and wreck your insides. They are made of speed and that is the only reason why you lose weight on them, but once you get off of them your metabolism will never be the same. You will gain weight faster in the future and have a ridiculously hard time losing it. \nDiet and exercise are the only way to lose weight the healthy and safe way.

Below site has info on healthy diet for everyone to lose weight. It has info on getting rid of bodyfat, water retention and the other thing. First I will give you the page on advice for teenage girls since it helps with self-esteem which motivates someone to lose excess weight.

The best way to lose weight is of course, a healthy diet and a frequent exercise plan.  If you insist on taking diet pills, make sure that you fully research each type before trying it.

Well I've tried some of the stuff and finally i realised that there is nothing better than doing a proper exercise routine and managing your diet. You will feel fit and healthy if you follow a good routine of exercise and get good sleep. I also have tried drinking plenty of water and it helps in loosing weight.

The cheapest and safest diet pills DO NOT EXIST.\nThey are all a rip-off, and each has its own dodgy side-effects.\nThe best way to lose weight is by going to your GP, asking to see a dietician, and following the diet sheet he/she gives you.\n(so says a 16 ½ stone lard-bucket!)

well you can crash diet, that makes you lose weight very fast but you can't keep it off for a long period of time, the longest is about a month, and you can't eat anything but non fat yogurt three times a day, that is it, but a healthy way to lose weight is to eat right and exercise

Like I had told a previous girl, you NEED to eat healthy. If you eat a lot then eat multiple small meals throughout the day (I know that's harder if you are still in school) rather than 3 large meals of junk and fatty stuff! If you have a member ship at a gym go to the gym and run the tredmill, do crunches, (check the web for body toning excersises) etc. OR you can even do little workouts at home. Granted it is more expensive to be healthy than it is to be overweight, it's worth it! But as you are working out you are building muscle and eliminating fat! That's what you want b/c muscle weighs more than fat anyhow and looks soo much better! Good luck on the weight gain/loss!

To cut straight to the point...DIETS DON'T WORK !!! In order for you to lose weight you need ro change your lifestyle, period. If you want to lose the weight & KEEP IT OFF (which is the most important) of course u have to exercise & eat right BUT water is the key.\n\nDrinking the 8 glasses a day is not enough, atleast it isn't for me. I drink 24oz of bottles of water every hour almost. Not only does water flush out your system but it also gives you energy without harmful pills. Also You may want to eat lots of chicken & fish plus you can have bread as carbs but not to much. \n\nThe misconception about weight loss (especially for women) is to skip meals or not eat BUT in doing so you actually do more harm than good, because your body will store the fat rather than release it. \n\nIf you really want to lose weight you have to eat. I eat 5 times a day & I am in perfect shape for my height, age & body type (5'9, early 20's & 145lbs). Just drink your water, do some cardio, focus on your problem areas and again dont forget to eat. If you starve yourself the only thing you lose is your mind. OH ! & limit your quantities. When your body says you are full, listen to it & dont over induldge.\n\n(EVERYONE IS DIFFERENT BUT THIS MAY WORK FOR YOU)\n\nMy Daily Food schedule includes: \n\n*Note this is a life-style I've have adapted to NOT a diet\n\nBREAKFAST is\n- 1 serving oat, wheat or bran cereal\n- 1 medium orange or apple\n- 1 cup skim milk over my cereal (tastes the same as regular milk to me) \n- 1 whole wheat piece of toast (dry)\n\nLUNCH is\n- 1 entree of whatever I want (limited portions)\n- 1 medium orange or apple\n- spinach salad OR mixed salad greens with non fat dressing & 1 egg for protein\n\nTHE AFTERNOON SNACK is\n- large orange or apple\n\nDINNER is \n- 1 entree of whatever I want (limited portions) \n- 2 cups of fresh veggies\n- spinach salad OR mixed salad greens with non fat dressing & 1 egg for protein\n\nDessert\n-1 small serving of whatever I want\n\nAND TONS OF WATER THROUGH OUT THE DAY!!!\n\nI personally drink over 12 to 13, 24oz bottles of water throughout my normal day because it makes u feel better after you get used to it plus ur not "clogged up". Anyway, I hope I could be of some help to you & I hope you lose those unwanted pounds & keep them off...& BTW, STAY AWAY FROM FAD DIETS!!! THEY NEVER WORK!!!

Do things! Go to parties, study, go to sports events, play sports, dance, take up a hobby, read, get a part time job, try out for a part in the school play, talk to people. Be part of life. Get out of your own head and interact with other people. It's hard when you're 17 and wound up in your own problems, but don't waste a moment of your life unhappy about your weight. It's ultimately not worth it.
