Losing weight first starts with being happy with yourself and loving *YOU* on the inside. Try everyday to smile and laugh, LAUGHING is supser helpful. It seems weird but it does! =) Try to follow a 1600 calorie diet. \nIt's best to have 5 meals a day that way you need get to hungry because that leads to over eating. \nHere is a couple ideas to help you ge started:\nBreakfast: \nOatmeal and a piece of wheat toast w/ 2tsp. trans free margarine. -OR- Strawberry Banana Smoothie (In a blender process until smooth, 1 small banana, 1/2 cup strawberries, 1/2 cup fat free milk, 1/2 cup low fat plain yogurt, 2 tsp. honey, and 1 or 2 ice3 cubes. You can have your smoothie with 1 or 2 pieces of whole wheat toast. -OR- An egg on a piece of wheat toast with salsa (make 2 servings) ---If you are still huingry at breakfast have a small piece of fruit. \nLunch:\n1 cup soup (water based not cream base) and a Cheese and Tomato Sandwich: 2 slices whole wheat bread, 2 slices reduced fat cheese, mustard and sliced tomato. -OR_ instead of the tomato sandwich 2 pieces whole wheat  with 2 slices of Turkey and Mustard. -OR- A Lean Cuisine Frozen Meal (These are actually very tasty. The meat is delicious.  \nDinner: 1 piece Chicken Breast with 2 side dishes:  1 cup steamed veggies, 1 sweet potato, 3/4 cup corn, 3/4 cup butternut squash, etc.\nDessert:\nLight Ice Cream or Frozen Yogurt:\n3/4 cup with no more than 110 calories per 1/2 cup topped with tablespoon chocalate syrup. \nSnacks:\nSteamed Veggies, fruit, any nuts (these are great protein), \nmy personal favorite snack is Light and Fit 60 calorie yogurt cup with a 100 calorie Granola Bar. (I cruch up the Granola Bar and put it inside of my yogurt.)\nAlso there are alot of great ideas if you go to fast food for example.... \nWendys: Ultimate Chicken Grill Sandwich- 390 calories\n\nMcDonalds:\nCaesar Salad grilled Chicken-220 calories\nBacon Ranch Salad w/grilled chicken 260 calories\nSalad Dressing: Vinaigrette: 40 calories\nSalad Dressing: Italian : 60 calories\nFruit and yogurt Parfait: 160 calories\nChicken McNuggets: (4) 170 cal. (6) 250 cal. (10) 420 cal.\n(if you have sauce stay away from Ranch)\n\nKFC:\nOriginal Recipe Chicken Sandwich: (no sauce) 320 calories\nHoney BBQ Sandwich: 300 calories\nSnacker: 320 calories\nHoney BBQ Snacker: 220 calories\nSmall Mac and Cheese: 180 calories\nSmall Potato Salad: 180 calories\nSmall Potatoes and Gravy: 130 calories\nRoasted BLT salad: 210 calories\nTenderRoast Filet Meal: 360 calories\nLil Bucket Strawberry ShortCake: 200 calories\n\nBurger King:\nChicken Whopper no mayo: 410 calories\n\nJack N The Box:\nSouthwest Chicken Pita:230 calories\nChicken Fajita Pita: 300 calories\nBeef Taco: 160 calories\nChipotle Chicken Sandwich: 390 calories\nBacon Chicken Sandwich: 440 calories\n\nCarls Jr:\nCharbroiled Chicken Sandwich: 370 calories\n\nTaco Bell:\nNacho Chicken Gordita: 270 calories\nNacho Steak Gordita: 270 calories\nTaco: 170 calories\n\nSubway :(THE BEST CHOICE)\nYou can have any of the under 6 grams of fat sandwiches! They're delicious just No MAyo. My favorite is Sweet Onion Chicken Teriyaki. I like to get a foot long and have a 6' for lunch and a 6' for dinner.\n\nAlso make sure you do 30 minutes of excercise 5 days a week. I like to walk to the store and back instead of drive =)\n\nThis was just some ideas to help you on your way. \n\nAlso its great to drink one glass of water before eating. Water is very important!\n\n\n\nGOOD LUCK!!!

Oh my god - Yea.... um, 170/5'6 is not fat by any stretch of the imagination, its healthy and i am sure someone will. Be careful not to look to people who just say nice things about the way you look though, you have intelligence and a lot to offer other than your body. Find someone who respects you for you,  and do not your self-esteem issues/body image problems get in the way of that.

No, I would not recommend weightlifting for anyone younger that 15. However, do workout. Push-up, sit-ups, crunches, running, isokenetic exercises, etc. Lookup "fitness" you will find tons of good sites. I recommend menshealth.com and mensfitness.com. \n\nThe problem with weightlifting at your age is that you are still growing. Overloading can cause tears in both bone and muscle tissue. Hernias are common in high school gyms where kids overlift and tear the abdominal wall in the groin area. \n\ngood luck

There may be a psychological reason for you over eating.  Are you nervous, overly concerned about your appearance, do you have anxiety issues?  These are issues that only you can answer.  Many people find solace in food when they are dealing with anxiety.  At 15 years old, I imagine your life would be challenging.\n\nAlso, that 10kgs you gained could be the result of maturing, as your body is still growing.  At 15, I remember being able to chow down some serious amounts of food.\n\nThe best way to manage your diet, I think, is to record everything you eat.  Use a site such as http://www.fitday.com to monitor your calories and try to stay within the daily allotment (there are tools on the site to help you do this).  Also consider doing some sort of fun exercise once a day to keep your metabolism revved up and your endorphins flowing.  Try running, walking, dancing, whatever tickles your fancy.  This will help take the edge off some of the teenage angst.\n\nUltimately, you'll get the flatter abs, thighs and bums when your diet is in order and your fitness level increases.  There's no short cuts or magic pills to get around that.  It takes work and dedication.\n\nGood luck.

First I would talk to your Doctor.  You should not weight 84 pounds at 5'2.  That tells me something is wrong already.  Once you know it is not a health or disease issue, then you can work on your diet.  You need to eat healthy even though you are trying to gain weight.  Eat proteins, for your muscles, pasta or potatoes for your good fat and sugar content.  You can do sit ups and such for your stomach, to strengthen and tone your tummy muscles and still gain weight, if you are eating every meal, including all recommended fruits, veges, breads and meats.  Good luck.

debarsue's answer is pretty good.\n\nOne cant not lose weight and hope to keep it by crash diets and work outs that you cant do the rest of your life.\nThat is why most people lose it and gain it back quickly.\nIt took me over a year to lose 15 lbs, but i know it will stay off.\nIt is a live style change, eat veg and fruits mostly.\nSome small amount of meat, and small amount of carb.\nfast walk is the best, dont run now, you might hurt yourself. Walk 3 miles in about 45 mins. a day, six days a week. Drink 6 to 8 glasses of water a day.\nStay away from all sugar drinks and food.\nDont be disapointed, you will not lose weight for months, thats normal.\nMuscle weights more then fat, but it also burns more cal.\nRead and learn more on  the subject, stick with it for the rest of your life.\nyou are only 19, is not too late.\nLive long and happy\ngood luck

You haven't stated your height. If you are over 5' 7" tall then 10 stone is an acceptable weight. If you work out a lot then you need to remember that muscle is heavier than fat. If you don't feel or look fat then be happy!\nAs you are 5' 6", you don't have anything to worry about. With plenty of exercise any excess weight will disappear over the next couple of years.

You're definitely underweight. If you're 170 cm tall, you should weigh 70 kg. give or take 5 kg (or so).

Unless you 5 feet tall you aren't fat. Stop considering yourself fat you will really will be someday. You will be looking back and saying "I wish I only weighed 189 again". Trust me on this. Just keep eating healthy and exercising.

your size isn't the problem. 60kg is a fine weight for a person who is 5 ft 11, but your muscles are out of shape. just, do some exercise and eat properly. not less. properly.

At 5'7" and 120 pounds your BMI calculates to 19.1. Depending on who you talk to you are either at the very bottom of the normal scale or just below. \n\nI am hoping you are a small boned lady and this is your ideal weight. Please don't try to lose any more.\n\nIt is great that you feel better about yourself. As for healthy I am not sure. Again it depends on you and your body. How do you feel, how is your energy and stamina?\n\nEven more important, how are you going to maintain your weight and still get the nutrition your body needs?

You are currently near the top of the healthy weight range for your height, which means you may be at risk for becoming overweight.  But if you're still growing and you add another inch or two, then that won't necessarily be a problem.  \n\nLosing five pounds sounds doable.  Just cut back on the junk food and sodas (I know, that's hard for teenagers but it's worth it to your health) and work a little more exercise into your life.  You'll be glad you did.\n\n(See the Ideal Body Weight Calculator for Kids and Adults at the link below.)

No way! Working out with weights will not stunt your growth. Being 5'2" at 15 is no big deal...Most males shoot up between 14 and 18...No need to worry! Keep lifting...it will help you from packing on unwanted pounds around your middle when you do hit your growth spurt!

Depends on how tall you are. A good general measure is 5 pounds for every inch above 5 foot. So if you were 5'3" your weight should be from 110-120 depending on body type.\nSee link below for a BMI calculator for teens, that will give you an accurate measure.
