Theres some new protein on the market muscle milk by cytomax and max milk by eas. they both give like 600 calories plus creatine. Im not sure abuot taking creatine at that age but if yoiu can, do it. And EAT alot, but eat good foods, high in protien. I wwas there. Im like 160 now. But I was only 125 when I joined the marines. came out weighing 145. Just proves that food and exorcise will do it. You need to eat 3500 more calories than you burn to gain a pound.

The BMI range of weight for your height is 135-150 lbs.  You are very close to what is considered a normal and healthy weight, so don't over do it.  You are not fat.  Don't try to lose 30 pounds, you'll be dangerously thin.  Shoot for 10, fine, but stop there, and do it by exercising and eating a balanced healthy diet.  That way, you'll keep it off.\n\nBest to you.

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.

the most important thing is exercising and eating right. dont bother trying to count calories, its a waste of time. just go for the more healthy foods, eat lots of veggies and fruits. but make sure you are exercising reguarly, it doesnt have to be every day, but it should be 3-5 times a week, maybe hit the gym or run or lift and do some sit ups a couple times of week. keep on playing basketball, maybe do it more often or for longer periods of time. just keep doing what your doing and you'll be down to 175 in no time!

I will give you some personal experience. When I was in 10th grade, I used to weigh around 140 lbs and my height was 4' 11 (yes im short lol).  anyways, i was a bit chubby for my age and height so I entered the tennis team in my school.  Although it was difficult for me since I am not used to play sports, i was able to come through.  at the end of the school year, i weighed about 110 lbs.  dont go into crash diets cause that wont work.  what really works are active sports that keeps your heart running.  try something fun maybe football or something similar.  believe me, it was fun to play tennis and i didnt even have to go into a diet.\n\ngood luck with that.

When I was 16 I was about 5'8" and 105-110 lbs (10 years later I weigh about 125). Focus on staying healthy and in shape, don't worry about the weight. Some of us are made to be skinny.

Work out, and get some type of protein supplement, because it is hard to eat all the protein you should eat when you are used to not eating that much..and for a while you're going to have to probably force yourself to eat more but you should go for one gram of protein per pound of body weight..you'll be surprised how much more energy you'll have too..several months ago I weighed 150 lbs..kind of skinny..now i'm between 195 and 200

I did the exact same thing, At age 13 I weighed about 125 and in about one month I lost closer to 15 lbs, right before I turned 14.  Totally normal.  Enjoy it and stay active.

At fifteen,  your your probably more healthy than you;ll ever be.  if you have more fat in some areas that you need to go away, Exercise!  \n\nGet out and walk. First small than larger as you become used to the exercise! \n\nMake sure you're drinking the normal amount of water!\n\nYou are plump in some areas, because you don't like salads, fruits or veggies. You may be deficient in some Vitamins and a good one to start off would be the B complex for energy strength!\n\nWhen you've trimmed down try not going without fruits and veggies as much. You're to young to develop bad eating habits! \n\nYour body is talking to you! \n\nDon't wait until your to tired or over-wait to answer!

Try eating HEALTHY every 4 to 5 hours. This will keep the metabolism up. Also, don't eat if you're NOT hungry. Add activity into your life as well. Take the stairs instead of elevators (if it's not too many flights), go out and play intead of sitting in the house. take up a sport that you like or think you could grow to like (if you keep it up through high school, it could get you a scholarship). Mainly be active and know your body. Don't eat too much or too often. There's nothing wrong with not clearing your plate or saying "No, I'm not hungry." The first couple of times your family may look at you like you're sick or crazy (mine did), but they'll get used to it. And you're doing something better for yourself. You'll enjoy the benefits of being healthier for a long time to come. But remember, you're not going to lose 100 pounds or anything crazy like that. Take it slow, believe me it's much better and long lasting if you just transition to a healthy lifestyle instead of crashing. Also, have discipline and set a goal. There are 12 weeks in the summer, plus May and June before you go to middle school. You can only lose 2 pounds a week the healthy way so a good goal would be 40 pounds and that's pretty damn good for one summer. So good luck and take it slow and be healthy. Hope this helps, hope you got this far down to the bottom. Sorry it was so long. But I know how it is to be overweight, and to lose it. Good Luck!!

I would say anywhere from 105-120. Besides your weight changes a couple pounds each day.

For one thing, stop comparing yourself to everyone else and second, you sound pretty darn perfect to me. I am 40 years old and 5"4ft and weight 113 pounds, I have weighed this much since I graduated from high school. Some people just grow faster than others and then a lot of catching up will happen. Just think how much healthier you are than they are. All that junk food will eventually catch up with them and they will be the ones saying they wish they looked like you!! Just be happy with yourself now because I bet you are way prettier than they are.

Try changing what you are eating. Try eating foods that are more natural and not just convienient for you. Mix your workouts up a little. Make sure you strengthen your "core" muscles (abs, obliques, back musclues) before you measure your waist! Try adding a swim workout in now that summer is around.

It sounds like you need to add bulk in muscle or pounds.  Try eating a high calorie diet, I will add that pigs eat alot of corn products when farmers are trying to fatten them up, so corn is good, sweets, donuts will add weight lol, and try weight lifting, it builds muscles.  Might want to try some high calorie drinks like ensure.\n\nIt's probably going to take time to add up in muscles or weight so in the mean time look for capri pants, they go down past the knee so that leaves the lower leg bare so it's cooler than pants, maybe try skirts, longer ones that are sheer made of gauze or linen are in this year, also you can make people notice different parts of your body to take away from your legs, try fancy pretty shoes, a tasseled tie belt, a longer sheer type of covering that flows down past your waist but is sheer for summer can't think of what they are called.  Tunics are good, longer clothing with belts, big belts, metal belts all will take away from your legs because people will notice the belt or shoes.
