Aw, you are in a growing stage, do not worry so much about this. Your body requires tremendous energy for all it's going to be doing in the next couple of years, so it will need that fat.  Fat is stored energy.

Believe it or not, it's not that uncommon for boys your age to have a bit of tummy fat.  If you haven't started to go through puberty yet, or if you've just started, then take a deep breath and relax.  During the very quick growth you go through over the course of your teen years, your body usually finds good use for all that stored up energy, so puberty usually sorts all that out if you're not actually overweight.\n\nIf you are a bit overweight, your best bet is to eat healthier foods such as fruits and vegetables--french fries and chips don't count!-- lay off the soda and junk food for snacking (have an apple or something if you need a morning or afternoon snack... whatever fruit you really like), and get plenty of exercise.  \n\nYou're really too young to be lifting weights for another three years or so, but you can do all the cardio exercise you want, and can do as many crunches, sit ups, push ups, etc, you want to get your tummy flat.\n\nIt doesn't have to be exercise you hate, either.  If there are games you like playing outside, do that.  Like going for hikes?  Do that instead.  \n\nThe best diet and exercise for you are the healthy ones you LIKE, because you're not going to want to stick with things you think suck... so this is a great time to explore all your options and find the healthy lifestyle you're going to enjoy, so being healthy isn't a chore for you.  \n\nThen all you gotta do is opt for the healthy stuff you really enjoy instead of the stuff you really enjoy that's bad for you, and you'll end up looking a lot better and feeling a lot better for it.

I am a strong believer of the only way to get what you want. I lost 40 pounds last summer when I was 14. I did by eating healthy and exercise. If you don't want to do the exercise then step up on the diet, you need to find a balance. Also in walk. Like I know it does not seem like alot, but every extra step can do alot. Even if it is passing out papers in class.

No, of course not. Some kids are 4ft and they weigh about 200lbs. Just, don't obsess over thinking you are fat, because you're not. Just focus on your education, eat the right foods. I say drink 2 glasses of milk a day, 7-8 glasses of water, plenty of fruit and vegetables, WHITE meat like chicken, not red meat, if you are a vegetarian eat beans and eat whole grain products such as Dempster's whole wheat bread, NOT white bread because those are filled with nasty sugars that get you fat and bloated. Eat all of that, and you'll be a very healthy person.

Yeah you do have a point but how much pain and illness do you want in your later years?  Im fourty two and years ago i didnt give it too much thought until the pain of my arthitis was so bad i could have chewed nails.  You wont realize this until  your my age anyway, it will be too late by then.  Also, you will gain about ten pounds for every ten years after the age of twenty.  No joke!  You wont realize this until your a size sixteen either.  Then its way too hard to take the weight off also!  Snack Happy!  Live as you want, but when its too late you might want to warn others of the impending problems from your detierated health from living vicarously in your younger years.  Life aint no picnic and it only gets better! Good luck.

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!

I gotta tell you...  I see a lot of this "I'm [however many] years old and I weigh [however many] pounds," and it drives me crazy.  The absolute first thing you need to consider is your height and build, NOT your age.  I weighed 150 pounds at age TEN.  I also haven't grown since I was 11, so some of us are ALLOWED to be BIG.\nAt 13, you're old enough to run off and do a few things on your own, so over the summer, take your bike out for nice long rides and spend time at the pool.  You could also go hang out at the YMCA, like we used to, and play racquetball a couple times a week.  Get with a buddy and start walking and/or jogging in the evenings.  If you stay physically active during the summer, you may put yourself in a spot to join a team of some sort when school starts.  Track is a good one, as it keeps the muscles toned.\nDon't worry if you start eating a lot when you work out more.  It's just your metabolism doing its thing.  As you increase your muscle mass, your body will burn more calories, so you may have to pig out to compensate.  Just don't overdo the excessively greasy, chocolatey, or cheesy foods, go for diet sodas or WATER (flavored if you want), and be sure to grub on some fruit & veggies once in a while.\n\nOh, and if you ARE overweight and you KNOW it, just start with the biking & healthy eating.  You're young enough to fix it, and it won't take forever.

Okay. I hope you want me to be honest. It's not fat, but it's not skinny either. When I was 11 I was also 5' 2'' and I weighed 92 pounds, I could have done with losing weight. So this is what I did:\n1. It's hard but eat healthy foods with little fat\n2. Don't stuff yourself\n3. Don't eat when your not hungry\n4. Push yourself to work out\n5. Eat less

I am 5'4" and weight about 112-  I would also like to lose just a couple of pounds- and by the way- if you check on any BMI calculator- 108 is STILL in the normal range... I think this is still a healthy goal as well.  I was stuck between 115 and 120 for a while but found that just increasing my exercise, drinking more water, and taking in more fiber has helped with these last few pounds.  Good luck.

I used to weigh 280 and thought I was sexy.   I wasn't!!!    I have lost 50 lbs and FEEL SO MUCH SEXIER!!!    Weight Watchers has helped me learn so many healthy habits and opened my eyes to what I was doing wrong.  And the PLUS side... I am healthier and will live longer without all the risks of the diseases caused by being so overweight.   My goal is to be around 150.  I am 5'3.    AND I find myself looking at overweight people now just to gawk and remind myself that I don't want to be that way.   Lose it, you will feel better!!!!! I promise!

why would you want to loose weight and you just weigh 129 you sound fine to me.You need to start eating some food and get some weight on that body

According to the guidelines set up by the AMA (American medical association and ADA American Dietetic Association)  125 is you ideal body weight if you are on the small boned size if you are large boned you can expect to weigh about 10% more 12.5 pounds more which would give you 137.5 pounds. give or take a couple of pounds.  \n\nAre you active?  Do you eat a balanced diet?  Do you include fresh fruits and vegetables and lots of fiber in your diet?  These things when part of a healthy diet will result in weight loss.  I would need to talk with you more and ask certain questions to find out for sure.

According to weightwatchers.com,\nYour BMI is 19\nThis is below the BMI range of 20-25 which medical experts generally consider to be healthy. Based on your results, you should consult your physician or other medical advisor to discuss whether weight loss is suitable for you.\n\nPersonal belief, and from different health articles I've read, you are too young to worry about going on a DIET. seriously. Just eat healthy, choose fresh fruits and veggies over a Big Mac w/ cheese, and go walk the mall rather than sit and game all day, and you should be fine. It's more about a healthy lifestyle, instead of a quick fix trend.\n\nI applaud you for wanting to be healthy, but please don't go too far and obsess about having a body that is unrealistic and unhealthy. If you want a more detailed plan, talk with you doctor. S/he will be able to sit down and talk with you and come up with the best answer.\n~*~ Love and smiles

Can you go to your family doctor and ask for a healthy diet?  I am not sure how old you are, i will take it that you are still in school, but take your time getting the weight down.  Set a goal to weigh 120 pounds by June...that gives you over 6 months to get down to the "goal" weight.  Just make sure you eat healthy and exercise.  REMEMBER!  if you are a young female that it is very important to take good care of you body..this is the same body that will carry babies on day and become a mother one day.  It is very important that you take GOOD CARE OF YOURSELF GETTING DOWN TO YOUR GOAL WEIGHT!

14 and a 100 pounds??? trust me, no one thinks you're fat. i think that unless you are very short you probably need to gain some weight. and some self esteem. eat whatever you want! dont live your life for other people or because you feel like they are staring at you. they probably aren't.
