Excercise. But remember, you're still young, and oftentimes this extra fat will disappear as you age and grow more.

I would not try to lose weight.  You are a great size for your frame.  My legs were very muscular when I was 16 and I weighed about 115.  Certain parts of your body are hard to change. You may want to just sculpt them.  Try leg and glute exercises.  You will then have some really nice to envy legs.  The personal trainer at the gym recommended overal toning for a better effect and not spot sculpting.  But just eat normally, making sure your body gets what it needs.  Do not diet.  Just eat right and exercise at least 3 to 4 times a week for a maximum of 45 mins at a comfortable pace.  You can eat 3 normal meals a day with 3 snacks.  And make sure you drink at least 8 to glasses of water a day.

dont listen to her my dude...Im 18 and dont have a 6 pack. Many guys think its the best to have one but the truth is that its extremely hard and you need disipline to go to the gym or do crunches...a lot of crunches. That girl says she has one but the truth is that she is probably starving herself and has no fat what you need to do is eat whatever you eat...unless your fat...and go to the gym or do a lot of crunches...remember abs are not everything you need to work your whole body or else youll look really stupid...no pun intended.

If you lose weight they should go a little smaller, but you need to exercise the muscle, so i would use free weights, and push ups will help, you dont have to do these like men do, if you stand in front of a wall about 2 ft away place your hands on the wall and push away and to the wall, i did this for a long time and it does work!

Your too young to deal with this now, wait till your 15 or 16. come up with goals like your attitude and the weight issue. if you feel your not attractive weight only makes your problem bigger. Lose the weight and get a body men will want then facial looks wont be as important. take your time your still a baby.

There is no site specific way of losing fat... the old myth about working your abs to burn belly fat isn't true. To get rid of love handles, you need to lose overall fat. That happens with exercise and watching your diet. \n\nThe most effective way to lose fat is aerobic exercise in the "moderate" fat-burning range, ideally first thing in the morning before you eat. When you wake your body is ready to burn fat and your levels of growth hormone are highest at that time. Later in the day it can take up to 30 minutes just to put your body into a fat-burning mode. \n\nAnother overlooked way to burn fat is by lifting weights. Skeletal muscle has very high caloric needs... almost twice that of adipose (fat) tissue. Put on a little muscle and you will burn calories all day even at rest. Be aware that skeletal muscle weighs more, so with this approach you may see your weight increasing while your body fat is melting away. Not realizing this often stresses folks who think they should be losing weight as a measure of fitness. Forget the scale, look in the mirror and you will be happy.\n\nYou are welcome to look at my 360 Blog of September 10 for more detailed ideas.\n\nAloha

The important thing is to exercise regularly! it doesn't have to be at the gym, just 10 minutes of crunces or push/sit ups in your room is enough (you can even do it while watching tv), as long as you do it at least once a day (it's better than doing hours of gym work but only once a month). i didn't believe it would when my friend told me this but after i tried it i managed to look thinner!

My only suggestion is running or walking. General exercise should slim you down. But a lot of men are known to like more curvy women.

hmmmm good one, ok those love handles, right on the lower part of your back near the sacrial area are the most difficult to get rid of, why because there is no real exercise to target them.   \nBut you could do back exercises to strengthen your lower back muscles which in turn-cause they are generally connected tone up those a bit to. \n2 sit ups but the ones where you twist, ex: on back sit up and touch left elbow to right knee.  Also some yoga asanas would help target those problems like cobra and locust---but you don't want to strain your back so make sure you are doing them right----find a teacher in your area---or Pilates. If you do cardio you tend to lose a little bit everywhere.. Lipo is the only last resort I could think of.

Xyience is a company that offers supplements, many many different kinds, some for weight loss some for energy, some for muscle growth all kinds. there can be adverse side effects, and since you are only 16 i would not advise you taking them. You haven't reached your growth potential yet, if your aim is to gain muscle then work out using weights at least every other day for about 20Min's a day then as your body adjusts to these workouts add time try to get up yo an hour. if you also want to loose weight try running about a mile everyday. and as always eating right is a big part of it fruits veggies no junk lots of protein. hope this helps you

Aerobic exercise.  Situps/crunches will just put muscle with the fat.  In your room, you can dance, kick box, jumping jacks, aerobics, exercise bike, or any exercise that will elevate your heart rate and breathing for 30 minutes a day.  Then do situps (or crunches) to tone the muscles.  It would also be helpful if you back off the calories, but it is not good to go on a diet under the age of 21 without help from a doctor or nutritionist, because your brain is still growing.\n\nThe idea of losing weight is to burn more calories than you eat.\n\nAgain, crunches will just make you fat with a hard stomach.

If your partner loves them, then why get rid of them?  It's up to you, though.  If you want to wear 'skinny' jeans, then you'll have to get rid of the handles then.... the old fashioned way.  Eat a healthy diet, workout and get plenty of cardio.  Cardio burns the fat.  Drink lots of water while dieting to remove the body of toxins while burning fat.\n\nOh, and BTW, you can't target one area of the body for fat loss.  When you lose fat, you lose it all over.

As long as you do some form of resistance training with your diet and cardio then you will loose inches but remember muscle is heavier than fat so do not be concerned with weight just look at the results in the mirror. \n\nYou do not have to restrict your resistance training to the gym. To break up the monotony, in the summer, i bring dumbbells to the track with me and utilize them in many ways like walking the bleachers with them, 100 yard walking squats etc. also, there are a ton of things you can do with your own body weight at the track. You could also bring one of them large balls with you and do dumbbell flies, shoulder presses, bench presses on it, the list goes on just use your imagination.\n\nDon’t worry about what you look like doing that because everyone usually compliments you on how hard that looks and will usually inquire as to what you are doing so give it a try in the spring.

Eat less, exercise more.\nEat a normal, healthy, balanced diet.\nYour energy-food (carbohydrates and fat) intake should be just a little less than the energy needed for your level of exercise.\nThose 'love handles' are excess fat accumulated when you eat too much carbohydrate and fat.
