it's ok. this happens to a lot of young boys. Stay exercising and eating healthy but don't go looking for a diet plan just yet. Maintain a healthy lifestyle and soon you'll begin to 'thin out' a bit. I know it's probably not what you wanted to hear but be patient-your body is going through a number of changes; understand than this is normal. oh, and talk to your parents about your concerns-keep them included! Best Wishes!

if you're 13, chill.. you have about 5 more years for your body to "adjust" and or "grow".\n\n*sigh*\nbut if you really must lose weight, i suggest buying or somehow aquiring "tai chi". it's a slow, relaxed movement of the body that tones your muscles.. you can buy it at book/dvd/movie stores or off the internet...

Well I had the best of both worlds as I took a year off work to get to my ideal weight. I have had two children and after my first child couldn't lose the weight. I was so wanting to get back to my ideal weight that after my second child I started going to the gym 6 times a week for at least 1.5hrs & really learning about it all. \n\nI am now studying to be a personal trainer and have combined work and ideal weight together. My aim is to maintain my weight for life with healthy eating and exercise routines. Here is the plan I followed: \n\nIf you want to do this it is for life so you need to totally change your way of eating and exercising. This is not a diet rather than a healthy eating plan for life. So no more talking diet cause it means time limit. Stop making some major mistakes wake up earlier and get active earlier your metabolism is sluggish and needs to be woken up this is half your problem. \n\nHere are the golden rules: \nInitially cut down to 1200 calories. \nExercise 6 times per week for 1 hours a day. Do three weight sessions and three cardio sessions. No gym involved. \nDon't eat carbs after 4pm, never eat carbs within 2 hours of exercise or within 1 hour of exercise. \nDrink 3 litres of water per day. You can have a green tea at the end of the day. \nLimit your fruit in take to 2 pieces per day. \nNever eat dinner after 6pm.\nAdopt of low GI eating plan this is sustainable for life!\nMake low fat dairy choices \n\nFollow this menu plan as a suggestion: \nBreakfast 7am - 1 cup hot water w lemon\n20 minutes later have a bowel of oats w water (no honey) OR\nfruit salad w low GI soy yogurt\nSnack 10am - pear or apple (both low GI)\nLunch 12.30pm - multigrain sandwich w 50g tuna & salad (no butter)\nSnack 3pm - low GI yogurt OR skim berry smoothie (no honey or banana) plenty of ice, 1/2 cup skim milk & 1/4 cup yogurt\nDinner 5.30pm - 120g grilled lean meat/fish/prawns/tofu patties (not fried) w spinach salad & mixed vegies (no whites, carbs) OR 3 egg white/soy omlette with ham, cheese and tomato\nSnack - 1 scoop of low cal low fat ice cream (if hungry)\n\nExercise is must be intense. Refer to www.bodybuilding.com for your weights routine. Never do weights two consecutive days have a cardio day in between. \n\nCardio needs to include running, go hard up stair wells and cycling. You get the most benefits from exercise when your body is totally fatigued and this is when you see changes. \n\nTo maintain you can increase calories to 1500 and reduce exercise sessions to 3-4 times per week. If weight creeps up again due to holiday period etc.. go back to 1200 cal and 6 sessions again. \n\nGood luck it worked for me it can work for anyone.

At this point, I wouldn't advise you to start hogging down cake and ice cream in order to gain weight.  Metabolism is a funny animal, even for young people.  Do that, and a year from now, you might be on here asking how to LOSE weight. \n\nIf you are very active, you may not be eating enough for your activity level and not realize it. Don't cut down on your exercise unless you are carrying it to extremes.  Being active is the best thing you can do for your health. Try eating more healthful foods which are higher in calories. Avocados and bananas are good.   So are nuts.  Peanut butter, especially the organic or "natural" variety, is ideal.  It is high in calories and fat, but it's the "good" fat which won't hurt your arteries.  Cook with olive oil.  Eat more pasta!  Hope this helps.

I don't know if I can help you with the growth issue. However, I just lost 45 lbs, and feel confident I could lend a few tips. \n\n1. Stop eating junk! McDonald's, Burger King, and all that jazz need to stop. Don't you feel like crap after eating a Whopper anyway? Blah...I know I did. Cut all that kind of junk (including regular soda) from your diet. It's a nice place to start.\n2. Change your eating habits. Instead of eating little to nothing for breakfast and then a huge meal for dinner...SWITCH IT UP! Have a big, healthy breakfast and a small dinner. And make sure to stop any eating by 6pm. This way you don't have a sitting full stomach at night.   \n3. Change your daily diet to smaller, healthier meals with plenty of healthy snacks throughout the day. You won't get hungry, and you'll feel better.\n4. Move around a bit. Rather than sitting in front of your computer or TV...GET UP! Walk around the block. Go to the mall and walk around a bit. A half an hour of moving around everyday can do wonders!\n\n\nMost importantly-- DON'T GIVE UP HOPE!! Losing weight is a difficult thing to stick with but the pay off is unbelievable. So stick with it kid!

You will lose it...I had my second child 7 mths ago, i started at the gym 5 weeks ago and have lost weight already. \nI work 30mins or cardio and 30 mins of weights four times a week.\nIf you cant get to a gym, do something at home that will get yuou breaking out into a sweat..like running up and down the stairs..jogging, skipping....housework.\nEat smaller portions of sensible meals.\nsnack on healthy snack like fruit. drink lots of water.\n\nI know it feels like you'll never get there...but trust me, you will.

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.

I don't think you are overweight.  Given your information your ideal weight should range between 111 to 150.   Keep the exercise and good nutrition if you know there is a family tendency, but you should not be worry about dieting.

Excercise!\nis not the same way as taking care of your chores at home. I guess you have low metabolism that your body wont burn calories compared when you were younger!\nYou need to exercise like jogging, walking, treadmill, swimming etc and discipline is the key,depending how bad you want it! With exercise you sweat, burn body fat much more! Keep on your diet but exercise as well- not only good for your weight but could release stress and toxic inside your body, too!

hang on. you should've put your age. if you're above 30 years old and you're 57kg and 160 cm (rare but whatever) you are around a normal weight (or even nearly under it) so you shouldn't be bothering with a diet. if you want to reach fitness eat in moderation and get your fair share of exercise. and like someone said in this you must burn more calories than you take in. if you burn off calories but eat more calories you're bound to put on weight. if you are, like, 11 then i can agree with the above you are overweight and if you really are around 11 you shouldn't be going on a diet. if you are over 30 or even over 20, don't think about losing think about maintaining. you can find stuff like that over the internet. if you are on the under 15 side i think you should loose 1-5 kilos depending on your age. oh yeah, you said you want to reach fitness, if you're already on the way to that your weight could be due to muscle mass so i wouldn't worry about losing anything.

You are waaaaaayyyyy too young to be worried about your weight.  You haven't even started to become the woman you will be and please, please please don't start on the diet treadmill as it will mess up your body's metabolism (that's how your body deals with food). Your body is changing and developing and now is not a good time to put it under any additional stress by dieting. You need fat on your body to ensure it develops properly and that you don't have bone thinning or fertility problems later in life. I suggest you go to http://www.dove.co.uk/uk_en/ and check out their campaign for real beauty feature - every girl deserves to be made to feel beautiful without conforming to an impossible to achieve image created by the media. \n\nIf you're worried about it, read the following carefully and think about what you want and why you want it.  Is it to fit in or is it because you want to be healthy (not thin, thin isn't automatically healthy).\n\nThere is no such thing as a safe quick weight loss. Diets and diet pills don't work they just act on the pituitary gland (this is a part of the body in the brain that helps make your body work properly).  Diets make the body lose water not fat (water loss means weight loss). It's good to exercise or run about and have fun as anything which raises your pulse and makes you sweat is good. If you don't eat enough the body goes into "famine" mode if it doesn't get enough norishment (ie, it thinks it's being starved) and stores anything it does get as fat, rather than glucose (glucose is a form of sugar which is what every cell in your body uses for energy). Every cell in your body respires (this is like breathing - good stuff goes in and bad goes out) and this uses energy, ie, food. Without enough energy, your metabolism slows and food is stored as fat. Incidentally, who says you need to lose weight and do you really need to lose the weight? The only thing guaranteed to get a body healthy (note I don't say "lose weight") is to exercise and eat a healthy, balanced, wide variety of foods plus the occasional treat in moderation (this stops any food becoming "naughty" and therefore craved). Please note that body muscles weigh four times more than body fat because the fibres are so much closer together. Some fat is important on the body though as it helps regulate hormonal levels in the body and prevents osteoporosis and other bone wasting diseases in later life. Some fat is important on women as too little can cause periods to stop and fertility problems. Girls are made differently to boys and a totally flat stomach and no hips isn't healthy on a woman. The question to ask yourself is - how do you look in a mirror - not how much do you weigh. If you think you look untoned, then include some excercise using light weights (low weight, lifted lots of times) into your life.\n\nI have friends who have taken up Pilates and although they never lost weight, their clothes looked fantastic on them, their posture improved and their entire bodies firmed up. I watched this happen. Pilates strengthens your core muscles (the ones that hold your skeleton in place) which makes you stand properly which makes you look slimmer. I believe that yoga also does this although I don't know anyone who has done this. Additionally, try dance (old style ballroom / salsa) as this is a fun way to tone up. Any excercise / activity that raises your heart rate and makes you sweat BUT IS FUN will ensure you stick to it and get fitter.\n\nAdditionally, drink lots of water. Lots of people eat when they are in fact thirsty. If you feel hungry, drink a glass of water first and if you're still hungry half an hour later, then eat. Eat sensibly and regularly and don't forget to eat breakfast (so named because it "breaks" the night's "fast"). Missing breakfast starts the day off badly as your body will just crave and stor

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.

Break down your goals into mini goals so that they seem more managable.  For instance, if you want to lose 30 pounds, break it down into six five pound mini milestones.  When you reach each milestone, give yourself a non-food treat, like a manicure or a new outfit.\n\nMake a plan to lose weight like going for a walk with your kids 5 days a week.  Get support from friends and family.  If you have a workout partner, you'll be less likely to skip your workout "date".\n\nMake a list of reasons that you want to lose weight like having more energy.  When you feel like skipping a workout, go to the list for a good reason not to skip it.

You're too young to be dieting. It'll affect your health VERY negatively. If you do try it, it'll just lead to yo-yo dieting and binge eating, neither of which will help you.\n\nDon't obsess about your weight too much and just spend more time out of doors playing sports instead of surfing the net. And enjoy your childhood. Please.
