If weight loss is what you're looking for then here's what you need. The best combination for weight loss is calorie restriction, resistance training, and aerobic work. Let's start with calorie restriction. Over the years I have had personal training clients as well as athletes come to me wondering why they are not losing weight. They tell me they eat right, exercise right, say their prayers, eat their vitamins, etc., and they just can't seem to lose weight. Well, most of the time, once I really get to know them, I find that nutrition is the culprit. You need to know what you're eating. Most of the people I'm talking about all thought they did. \n\nHow do you change this? Well, it may sound tough, but it's not that bad. You need to keep track of what you eat for 2 days over the week, and 1 day over the weekend. Next, go to you're local book store. You can find charts, books, and computer programs that will help you analyze the foods you ate. Another suggestion would be to take your dietary recall to a nutritionist or exercise physiologist at your local college and let them find it for you. \n\nThese recalls will tell you how many calories you're getting plus where they are coming from. For example, are they coming from protein, carbohydrate, or fat. It will help you see where you stand nutritionally. \n\nNext, you need to get on a good strength program. When a person is losing weight, the weight comes from fat, as well as muscle. That's kind of an unfortunate thing because muscle is an important thing when keeping metabolism high. There is enough research out there to safely say that when going through a phase of high intensity aerobic work and calorie restriction, strength training decreases muscle wasting. So, in short, strength-train. It's important. I wouldn't strength-train for anymore that 20 to 30 minutes. You can get what you need in a short period of time. \n\nAfter the strength training, it's time to get on the bike, treadmill, stepper, track, whatever. Keep your workouts to 30 minutes and up in order to burn the calories. Train between 3 to 5 times per week. Keep your heart rate at 60 to 90% of heart rate max. \n\nDon't look at losing weight as some mysterious monster that you can't get the reins on. Look at it as nothing more than stored energy. That's what fat is?stored energy. If you had a tank full of energy and it kept filling up higher and higher, what would you do to keep your tank from growing too large from the excess energy? Well, burn some of the energy off. That's what you need to do to lose weight. Keep the "energy in" lower than the "energy out" and abracadabra, you're losing weight. \n\nNote: You need to change your routine every 2-3 weeks in order to get the best results. \n\nMonday \n\n\nLeg Press 2x12 \nChest Press 2x12 \nLat pull down 2x12 \nShoulder Press 2x12 \nDB Curl 2x12 \nTricep kickback 2x12 \nAerobic Work  30 or more minutes. \n\n Click Here For A Printable Log Of Monday! \n\nTuesday \n\n\nAerobic work 30 or more minutes of aerobic exercise.\nWednesday \n\n\nSame as Monday.\nThursday \n\n\nSame as Monday, or take a day of rest.\nFriday \n\n\nSame as Monday.

For losing weight:  Drink a glass of grapefruit juice every morning and then eat 4 or 5 SMALL meals a day (instead of eating one or two medium meals).  Make sure you make smart choices for your food (low sugar, fat and carbohydrates).\n\nMake sure you exercise at least 20 minutes a day - even if it is just a leisurely walk (the brisker the exercise, the better, however).  Also, when walking in your daily routine, take the longer way around.  This will burn more calories per day and they will add up at the end of the week.\n\nFor growing taller:  Depending on your age, you can use HGH (human growth hormone).  If you have stopped growing already (in girls, about 13 years old), there isn't much you can do but get comfortable with your height.  HGH doesn't work unless you are still growing anyway.  Either way, consult your doctor before taking anything like HGH.\n\nGood luck.

You are on the right track. You won't lose weight overnight, if you lose a pound a week you are doing great. \n\nI used to be a model/actress as a teenager, I still worry about my weight levels. \n\nWhenver you lose weight quickly, let me give you an example: Putting on your heaviest sweat suit and running 5miles, while drinking water. You lose 10lbs instantly. Those 10lbs however are water-weight. Which is not good to lose that quickly, because you risk dehydration. \nAlso, you tend to gain 20lbs back just as fast. \n\n9 out of 10 over the counter diet supplements don't work. I have tried them first hand. This includes the Hollywood Juice.\n\n\nKeep up with a healthly balanced diet complete with meals that inlcude something from the 5 basic food groups. When you want Ice-Cream eat frozen yogurt or enjoy some home-made desserts. If you love Oatmeal, make some oatmeal rasin nut cookies, cut the sugar from the recipe in half and use brown sugar. These cookies are so healthly you can plastic wrap them indivisually on like a Sunday and eat on them all week for Breakfast. They are packed full of nutrients and they are cheaper than Store bought health bars. \n\nIf you want more adive feel free to e-mail me at: Diamondheart16@yahoo.com I am 22yrs old.

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.

Don't worry about that until you reach 13...

You just have to decide that you want to lose weight.  Will power comes from within.  You didn't say how old you are.  One step at a time might help and eating 6 small meals instead of 3 large ones.  Snack on healthy snacks, like raw veggies or fruits.  Remember, it took time to put extra weight on, and will take time to take it off.

Honey\nYou are NOT supposed to look like those runway models(Who usually are 30% underweight)\nYour mom thinks u should or maybe she sees that being 13 must be awfully thin just because you're young!!\nDon't worry about it and just stay in shape.

You know, losing weight is difficult.  There are a lot of answers such as don't eat so much and exercise more.  Those are valid ways to lose weight.  The question is why are you over weight.  What I mean is, are you addicted to food?  Do you eat when you are upset?  Do you watch a lot of TV?  \n\nI suggest getting into an organized sport.  This way, you're a little more locked in to exercising.  People are depending upon you.  Try volleyball, soccer, or even karate.  If you get in to karate, make sure you spar.  You wouldn't believe the amount of calories you'd burn.\n\nYou also should see a dietician.  I say that because you are only 13.  You don't want to deprive yourself of essential nutrients that will hinder your growth.\n\nGood luck with this journey.  It is a long and difficult one.

there is no way cuz ur to young. it would be harder to do it now then later. but if u want advice. try taboo\nWHAT to eat for losing weight\n\n• Eat plenty of fruits and vegetables, especially NC (negative calorie) food.\n\n* Print these lists. They will be your ... "Bible", from now on !\n* Dill and parsely - include them in all your salads. Also ognion + garlic.\n* Try eat mostly fresh vegs & fruits (whenever possible, of course)\n* If you really want a book, then check this out: The Negative Calorie Diet Workbook & Cookbook - eBook (Win95/98 only). Read more about this e-book here.\n\n\n• Eat fish, chicken, beef, pork. (preferences are in this order)\n\n* If you are a vegetarian, then ignore this!\n* Avoid fat meat\n\n\n• Eat 2-3 slices of bread/day. Don't EVER exclude bread from your diet!\n\n• Snacks between meals (if needed): apples, oranges, grepfruits and other NC fruits\n\n* Don't cheat ... NO cookies, chips, candies, brownies etc! \n* EVEN if they have "low fat" indication... They might have low fat, yet they can have lots of CALORIES !!!\n\n\n• About rice, potatoes, beans, [xxx]nuts, pastry, pasta... you know!\n\n* Don't eat too much of those, at least during the first weeks of the diet. I'm not a low carb addict, but I've noticed weight gains if consuming those in large quantities, especially when associated with other foods.\n* If you like them a lot, try and eat them like one meal. A nice delicious plate of spaghetti could be your lunch (never dinner!), followed by a nice big apple. These rich starch foods are not good for dinner!\n* At dinner time, chose mainly large mixed veggies salads... with fish, lean meat or cheese (if you are not a vegetarian). \n\nif u want to lose weight the best food to it are baked potatoes with nothing on it. no salt no nothing just plain. u can eat a 10000000000 baked potatoes till ur stuff and not gain a pound. i heard that from a weight loss tape. the best drink is water or gatorade. thats a start then when you work out do some taeboo. if u want a macine. run with dumbells on a treadmill. u could do the rocky workout. but thats a new story. u could use a butterfly macine i think it works the abs\n\n1) It is not just the amount you eat, but what you eat. Lean meats and vegtables that snap are a good place to start. And by snap I mean fresh and not boiled or doused with better or whatever.\n\n2) Exercise moderatly but for about an hour every other day. Spend half of that walking or running at a good enough pace for you to feel labored. The other half of the time use weights, or exercises such as push ups or situps to get a muscle "burn". A gym is also an option, but I don't know if you have the money for or want to spend the money on it.\n\n3) Sleep well. To bed earlier and up earlier. Exercise in the morning when you wake up, not in the evening before bed. 7 hours of GOOD sleep is a must.\n\n4) Occupy yourself with a hobby that keeps your attention for a long period of time. A hobby like this keeps your mind focused and gives less of a chance for snacking from boredom.\n\nThat is a good place to start... if you see good results, keep it up and modify to fit you... if it does not, see a doctor AND a trainer \n\nKeep working out, drink water a lot, eat 5 to 6 meals a day but in small quantities, vegtables are important specially cucumber and lattice, fruits not be eaten after meals except by 2 to 3 hours, minimize the starch quantities in your meals lots of salad is important, your last meal must be before you sleep by 2 to 3 hours\nthe most important thing is you don't lose patient wait and have a strong will to be as what you want\n\nyou might have some more ideas from www.ivillage.com\n\ngood luck

ABSOLUTELY NOT!  At 13, first of all, you don't need to worry about losing weight, you may still have a bit of baby fat but that's okay, you'll grow more and the fat will redistribute itself.  To be a good dancer, rather than being thin, you need to have a high endurance level, a good sense of balance,  and work on strengthening your leg muscles and your ankles.  Do lots of stretching exercises and practice your basic skills.  Concentrate on the position of your body and your arms as well as on what your feet are doing, and eventually the body and arm positioning and movements will become second nature to you.  Most of all, practice, practice, practice, practice.  Even 10 or 15 minutes of working on the five positions, three or four times a day is good; hour-long sessions once a day or so if you can manage it is better.  Your local library should have a selection of "how-to" videos that you can borrow, or you should be able to rent one from your local video store; or pick up an instructional book on ballet at the library, the illustrations should help. Ask your mom if she would consider buying you an inexpensive, full-length mirror for your room so you can see what your feet and body are doing.  If you are already enrolled in dance, don't be afraid to ask your instructor for pointers and for extra help if you need it, she wants you to become the best dancer you can be.  Practice sessions with a classmate can be fun, as well and you can help each other.  Yeah, I know, but I took dance myself when I was a girl, and my daughter took it for several years as well.  Break a leg! (Showbiz term for good luck)

Well, how tall r u? u shouldnt go on a diet because diets are dangerous to your health and dont work. teens always go through a stage in development where they are growing outwards faster than they are growning upwards. this is completely normal and everything should balance out soon. if you are truly overweight then go see your doctor for advice. always talk to ur doctor before u go on a diet. make your goal not to lose weight, but 2 get physically fit. u might want to go on an exercise plan. eat healthily and watch less tv. a really good exercise is to go to the mall and walk from 1 end to the other on every floor without stopping to buy anything. use stairs instead of elevators and escalators. rather than buying the jumbo box of popcorn at the movies, get the smallest box. Good luck!

With ThirTEEN you are entering the teenage stage of your life. You would be leaving childhook behind.They say that before the 13th Birthday whatever you do is forgotten and forgiven since you are innocent. With the TEENs however, this overlooking is no more there. You are supposed to be on the way to maturity and able to know the precise implications of your actions and their likely effect and you are supposed to guard your movements accordingly; Or else you are help responsible.\n\nWhen you enter the 13th year remember this and try to act in a more mature way.By all means celebrate the occasion but let the enjoyment be tempered with temperance and awareness.   You are a young man/woman now and try to act like one.

You need to see a doctor.\n\nAlso, you just might need to have a snack before practice. \n\nYou might need more iron in your body. But, you definatly need to see a doctor. If it takes a while to get an appointment, then make sure you eat something healthy before you are out there marching. Like an apple and some cheese. or Milk and one gram cracker. A protien bar. Celery with peanutbutter in it. \n\nIt is also very important to drink lots of water. If you are out there marching and you are dehydrated then  you could pass out.\n\nAlso, at age 13 your hormones are ragging. YOu definatly need to make sure you are eating breakfast, lunch and dinner and healthy snacks in between. \n\nTake good care of yourself

Hi.  I've been battling with my weight since I was your age, I'm 21 now.  The biggest piece of advice I could offer you is to get moving.  Find some way to exercise everyday.  If you have a dog take it for a walk.  Or if you have younger siblings take them to the park and play with them.  There are so many things you can do to get moving.  And exercise is essential to weight loss.  For instance, take the stairs instead of the elevator or walk to school.  Whatever you do, though, don't do anything drastic.  Starving yourself or making yourself sick is not the way to go about getting rid of the weight.  Another thing, get support.  Talk to your parents, friends and teachers and let them know that you want to lose weight.  Get them to encourage you and help you as much as possible!\nYou can lose those pesky pounds! Good luck!
