I'm very much like you - not able to gain much weight, etc. What I have done (I'm 19), is swim (whole-body work-out), and play tennis (really builds your arms), and I run once a day (except on weekends - so that your muscles have a relaxation period where they are able to repair, and build themselves stronger) - the running builds your whole body (especially your legs). Your waist is fine, if you build up the rest of your body. My waist is very small as well. As for dieting, I've been eating eggs, toast, and stuff like sausage, and bacon for breakfast (only eat this kind of stuff if you are planning to work out, because it has a lot of protein in it, which will contribute to your muscle and weight gain only if used through working out), and eat things like a lot of meat, carbohydrates, like pasta is excellent as long as you use it to your advantage, and work out, so that it goes to your muscles, lots of fruits, and vegetables, energy bars with a lot of protein, but low counts of sugar, and milk (for your bones), and lots and lots of water. Make your workout routine different, and exciting (try biking, hiking, mountain climbing, etc.), and just strive your best to eat healthier than you have ever eaten, and you should definitely notice a difference in about 3-4 weeks. Also, if you feel more comfortable, you can join a gym, and work with a personal trainer a couple of times, and they will be able to give you a personalized routine, and diet based on your weight, and muscle mass, etc.\n\nHope this helps, and good luck! :)

I hate going to the gym as well.  The way I think about is:  I am still young, but what will I look like in five years after never working out.  Also, think about how great you will look and comforable you would be if you had a great body.  It doesn't take much time to get in shape.  It just takes the effort to get us there!  Also, invest in an ipod or something, that way you have your own music choices.

Hey, as long as you exercise, keep fit, and eat healthy...your size isn't so important. Society makes size and body shape more important than it really is. In fact, the paradox in society is that super-thin people are considered to be healthier, but starving yourself isnt healthy! Some folks are genetically designed to be larger. No matter what they do, they'll never be super-skinny. Again, whoever you are, and whatever your size, being thin is not important- regular exercise and a healthy diet are!!!! Thin does not equal health or even beauty necessarilly. Contrary to what the television and magazines would have you believe, not everyone actually prefers the "super-skinny" look anyway. Ultimately, your own health and well-being are what is really important. Do what makes you happy, and be yourself...each of us has our own unique beauty. Don't feel like you have to look like a Barbie clone.

How bout walking atleast 30 minutes each day? I learned a few times ago that you need atelast 30 minutes of exercise a day to live longer and have a happy healthy body. And eating healthy foods or NO high callories foods if I diet is hard. Or you could have a limit of how many calories you eat if the no high calory foods is hard too. You could also try yoga, or those videotapes that do exercises in the same place where you move your arms and legs. Thats not extreme exercise. (And don't starve yourslef of no food and you know that your hungry. That will make you gain weight beacuse your body will think your stranded and store fat so you can survive longer.) Hey, no beggie on the weight thing, I thought that I was so fat one point in my life I tried to Starve myself. Then my mom warned me about how I would gain weight, instead of loosing it from starving myslef. But at that point of time I thought pretty much other things about myself too, but things got better fir me and now I live a happy life!!! :-) And you can too. Yes, I know it(your weight) doesn't come off at once, but it does come off every little bit of the time. And eventally you will see a difference in your clothes sizes. :-)\n\nHope I could help! Good Luck!

Without wanting to get too personal - have you reached puberty yet?  Sometimes puppy fat redistributes itself more kindly once your body starts to develop properly.\n\nIf this doesn't apply to you, and you do have some extra weight to get rid of, there is no 'easy' way, but because you are young, you will find that whatever you do, the weight will come off quickly, as long as you are committed.\n\nDon't go on a fad diet, whatever you do.  This only leads to eating problems, and trust me, I know about those.  You certainly can avoid junk food, crisps, chocolate, etc.  I don't know if you eat those, but if you do, stop now.  Make sure you eat a good breakfast every morning.  Lemon juice in a cup of warm boiled water before breakfast helps your metabolism kick in, as well as giving you a bit of vitamin c.\n\nThe key here is exercise.  You are 13.  There are a million and one types of exercise you could be doing.  Whatever it is you enjoy, but make sure that you are getting out of breath and raising your heart rate for at least 30 minutes 3 times a week or more.  Keep it up.  \n\nJust remember that you may not ever be as skinny as some of your friends.  They may have different body shapes to you, so be realistic about your own body shape, and what is a realistic goal, but losing a bit of weight shouldn't be a problem.

Hey \nI was always really skinny too.  The last 4 year I gained 50 pounds.  I was pretty bumped out about it too.  But in the past 3 month I have been working out, and have lost 20 pounds.  NO JOKE!  I would lose my breath at first and want to give up but I didn't.  I kept going because I had a goal.  Try to eat before 6p.m. and try to drink only water and milk.  NO SODA'S!!  I go to the track and jog with a friend.  It makes it go by faster.  Don't beat yourself up about your weight.  Just set a goal and accomplish it.  If I can do it TRUST ME anyone can do it!!\nGood luck!

Listen, from a girl who was in the smae position, skinny is bad! trust me on this! Your friends have probably starved themselves for there seriuosly unnatural figure.\nyou say you try even more than they do. mmmmm..... hoe do you know that they dont try at home behind your back?\n\ntell me would you prefer this daily diet:\n\nbreakfast: cereal.\n\nlunch: a nice butty, nice amount of butter. Packet of crisps.\n\nsnack:  Biscuits\n\ntea: nice lasangne.\n\n                           or.\nBreakfast: Yougart drink\n\nLunch:  drie slad\n\nsnacK: cardboard cereal bar.\n\ntea:  salad>?\n\n\nmmmmm.......\n\nDont copy your friends. You are different. You are perfect! And one thing that is for certain, your probably not even over weight, you just have a more natural figure than your other EAT HEALTHY BORES of m8s.\n\nok i cant help but state the fact that you may want to be careful of what you eat, but dont change the way you are, thats what make you you and thats the best thing there could be. yeah?\n\nGO FOR IT! follow what your stomach says and not you eyes. TRust me, youll be just fine

Well, you're never gonna be scrawny, but I don't think it'd take much to get you in shape. You could lay off the carbs (bread, pasta, etc..) but starvation is DEFINITELY not the answer for you, especially at your age. The less you eat, the more you teach your body to get more nutrition out of less food, and then you have to starve yourself for the rest of your life. \n\nI think exercise would be best. Start with jogging in place, maybe jumping rope, move on to pushups, sit-ups and chin-ups. Jumping rope, for anybody that's capable of it, is a really good exercise. \n\nIf you don't want to get too much attention, try exercising in the basement or garage. Harder to hear feet hitting the floor if the floor's made of concrete, and sometimes you just don't want parents involved in your personal decisions (I have daughter that's 14).\n\nYou may need motivation. You're a guy, right? Take off your shirt and take a picture of yourself. Tape it up on the inside of your bedroom door. That way whoever comes in never sees it, unless they close the door behind them. If you share a bedroom with someone, maybe tape it inside a folder or book, or something.\n\nI'm not a big fan of going to the gym. Too many people looking down their noses at me. Right now I have a job that keeps me in shape, because when I get home I'm just lazy. When I was your age I had a paper route, and was on the swim team.\n\nAnd of course, the thing I say to everybody that's unhappy with their weight:\n\nDon't look at the scale. Muscle weighs more than fat. If you can feel good about yourself when you look in the mirror, you've reached your goal.

Big spelling problems too????\n\n\nWhat's your body fat %?  What's your age?  What's your sex? What's your health and fitness like?  Any particular health problems or history, we should know about?\n\nA lot of fools can try to answer this question, but unless all of these considerations are adequately understood, there will be no real answer to your question.  In fact, one truly personal question in particular needs to be asked . . . are you suffering from an eating disorder?\n\nIf, however, you were a girl, say 12, in good health and reasonably fit without any history of health problems and had a body fat % of around 20%.  I would tell you:  "Don't lose any weight, just exercise a lot (aerobically and with resistance training) and eat normal healthy foods that are unprocessed mostly (fruits and vegetables) or lightly processed (whole grains) and occasional unfried meat, eggs, fish and poultry and seek to create muscle while burning fat until you achieve 10-14% body fat percentage.  Good luck.

I am a tall, curvy, voluptous woman who would be considered by\nothers as "plus-size". I work out 3x weekly on weight resistance\nmachines, walk a great deal, and stay active in my lifestyle. My\nclothing size averages between 18-20 womens, at last check my\ncholes. count was 170, and my blood pressure is excellent. Tho\nI am a large woman, I am healthy and in great shape. I dare say\nthat there are more parts of my body that are toned and firm to\nthe touch than those women who bodies are smaller and lighter\nin pounds but not in as good shape as I am. \nIt's your mental attitude, and your image of yourself that counts.\nNo matter what size-stay healthy! Get regular exercise! Take care\nof your appearance, and do things to enhance your beauty-take\ncare of your hair, nails, skin. Wear makeup, jewelry, anything that\nmakes you feel pretty!\nPS. My boyfriend adores my body, and is extremely demonstrative\nin showing his appreciation of it's womanly gifts. Some men just\nwant a woman with a big bust and backside, with a definite waistline to contrast it all with! Keep your curves girl!

I was in that category when I was your age also, but then I start playing soccer a lot and doing a lot of outdoor fun. Going hiking, bike riding, and anything to stay outside. Now I work in front of a desk and I'm back to 25 BMI. So now I have to eat right and try to get out as much as possible. I eat a lot of fruit and fiber. I'm vegetarian so I take a few vitamin supplements that I would normally easily get from meat (B-12, Iron, etc...). But that's all it really takes. If you want to get down to a 15 or 16 BMI then you'll have to work out. Crunches are alright, as listed above, but will also make you look a little fatter then you really are. It will make you muscles bigger and doesn't burn enough fat to compensate. Do a few leg exercises in the morning with some pushups. Do a few torso twist with a small amount of weight. The less the weight the more you should do, but remember, if you increase the weight you'll gain more muscle mass. I don't think that is what you want. Do a lot of aerobics. Walking is amazing, low impact and great for burning fat. Good luck with your endeavor.
