DO NOT LOSE WEIGHT!!! You are perfectly healthy at your current weight.  I think you need to step away from the mirrors and the negitive influences that society says is appropriate and look with yourself for acceptance of your own body. Love yourself and be proud of your body.

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.

OK, first of all, you are not overweight. You are tall and weigh what you are supposed to. What you can do is exercise the areas you are not happy with. If you starve yourself or eat very little, you will only slow down your metabolism and gain a bunch of weight once you start eating normally. Don't play games with your health.

Exercise and watch what you eat.\n\nI tried the Body for Life program and it really works.  Go ahead and try it.  STICK TO IT AND YOU WILL LOSE THE WEIGHT (and inches!!).

If you're underweight then the best way to get up to a healthy weight range is to go on a high carb diet. Eat lots of bread, pasta and rice. Still include meat and vegetables though. Carbs should be about half your diet.\n\nGetting a big 'booty' is really just down to your genes, if your family don't have them you probably won't be able to change yours.\n\nKeep in mind there are always boys that prefer more slender girls. And you're only young, you have plenty of time to develop more curves naturally. Don't worry!

-Place a big pic of your favourite skinny supermodels or celebrities in your room. Everytime you look how skinny she is and how much you wanna be like her, it will motivate you to exercise and keep your diet on track.\n- Drink a lot of plain water (at least 3lt a day) a big glass of water before eating will fill you enough so you don't have less space to put your food into.\n- here is a trick, always try to wear sexy, fit into your body clothes and find the smallest, tightest you can just barely fit into especially around the waistline (even if you have to lie down or ask someone to help you pull the zip :p). (a pair of tight jeans is good for this, wear the smallest size you can) Then everytime you'll fell uncomfortable and that you're too fat, especially if you're going to eat something. Those tight clothes will "press" your tummy back, it will remind you to stop eating, and wont allow you to eat much. \nIf it works (you loss few pounds) and the clothes get looser, find the smaller one. And so on.\nIf you fell that those tight clothes make you look like a sausage, wear a loose jacket or sweatshirt on top of it.\nHope that helps.

At fifteen,  your your probably more healthy than you;ll ever be.  if you have more fat in some areas that you need to go away, Exercise!  \n\nGet out and walk. First small than larger as you become used to the exercise! \n\nMake sure you're drinking the normal amount of water!\n\nYou are plump in some areas, because you don't like salads, fruits or veggies. You may be deficient in some Vitamins and a good one to start off would be the B complex for energy strength!\n\nWhen you've trimmed down try not going without fruits and veggies as much. You're to young to develop bad eating habits! \n\nYour body is talking to you! \n\nDon't wait until your to tired or over-wait to answer!

Diet and excercise go together.  If you're 5' 7" at 150 you are of average weight, you shouldn't try and lose 20 lbs.  If you feel like you're fat, I suggest you excercise.  Do cardio and situps.  \n\nAlso, it's good to watch what you eat.  Eliminate junk food and fattening, oily food.  Also, it's best to eat about 5 - 7 small meals a day instead of 2 - 3 large ones.  The idea behind this is that everytime you eat, your body starts to break down the food.  The more frequently you eat, you'll trick your body to increase metabolism, which burns fat.

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.)

If you lost 50 pounds all that leftover skin isn't fat.  Exercising will help tighten that up.  I would suggest seeing a plastic surgeon to get rid of the extra skin.  I am 6'3 and weigh 190lbs.  If you are a girl id say your weight is ok, but if you are a guy.  You need to gain a little weight because you are seriously underweight.  Good luck.  I drink a lot of Green Tea because it helps your metabolism, which in turn helps your body metabolise food faster.  Definitely exercising is key, and stay away from fast food.  I know it sounds crazy, but nutritionists say you should only eat Fast Food once a month if that.  Watch "Super Size Me" and it might change your view on fast food.

Eat a BALANCED diet (don't starve yourself, and know that it's alright to occasionally indulge) and excercise regularily (make it fun, go for a walk, take the stairs instead of escalators) are the best ways to lose weight.

At that height it doesn't sound like you need to lose weight. Especially not 10 to 15 pounds. I think the thing you may want to do is tone up.
