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.

A couple of common questions here amount to "How do I lose weight," or more specifically, "How do I lose abdominal fat?"  These are my thoughts as a physician and athlete.\n\nDon't target losing more than about 2 lbs per week. If you try to lose faster, your body will go into "starvation mode" and get very stingy about burning calories while at the same time very efficient about storing any calories that you do provide. And it will make you feel awful. \n\nThere 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. More on that below. \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\nTo lose a pound of fat, you need to eliminate about 3500 calories. You can do this by burning more with exercise or by modifying your diet to reduce intake. If you do a Google search on say, "swimming calories" you will quickly find a website with tables of calories burned for a given exercise. You can use such lists to estimate how many calories you are burning up with your routine.\n\nFor diet, keep a diary for a couple of weeks counting calories, grams of protein, and grams of fat intake. It is easy with online sources of nutritional information (type the name of the food and calories into the Google search engine) and packaging labels. That will let you quickly figure out where the fat is coming from in your diet. \n\nFat gives you 9 calories per gram. So take the number of grams of fat, multiply by 9, then calculate what percentage the fat calories are of your total daily calories. Restricting the calories from fat to about 20% of your total intake is ideal for a maintenance diet... that isn't overly restrictive. Of note, you need some fat in your diet. For instance, the body uses fat to produce hormones. Once you have a picture of how to modify your diet, you can drop the diary and just go back to it occasionally if you are wanting to tweek things further.\n\nThere is a subset of questions that goes further and asks about "How to get a six-pack?" The answer is the same. Six-packs are 20% abdominal exercise and 80% diet. There is one caveat... abdominal muscles will form in the position that you work them, so be certain to pull them tightly toward your spine while doing crunches, etc. Also, during most lifting, the "core is active" which means that you should be stabilizing with contracted abs then too. Fail to do this and the abs will form, but bulging outward and the result is not attractive.\n\nIf you are trying to build muscle as a way to lose fat, then you may need to increase total calories and specifically your protein intake. I target about 0.8 g of protein per pound of body weight each day when actively building. That is far more protein than most people need in their diets.\n\n\nAloha

well i don't know about weight, but if your talking flab i know how to get it off PDQ. you say your not grossly over weight and since your going to a modeling competion or whaterver yoiu must be in resonable shape\n\nso #1 start walking an hour in the moring and an houre at dusk (probably avoid waling when its dark)\n#2 find a good tall long hill (about 20-50yards) and run up it as best you can twice a week\n\nin 2 months you'll easilly lose flab doing that and fast and probably lose about 15 lbs since in 2 month you could potentially gain 5 pounds in water and muscle because your body has become more healthy\n\nremember there is a huge differnce between flab and muscle and just losing weight should NEVER be a goal, you have to eat healthy and drink lots of water and do the exercises i stated previously. and if you've lost all your flab and have good muscle tone but still arn't at the weight you want, sorry your not meant to weight that little\n\nps, visualize how you want yourself to look as you walk and run this will dramaticaly increase results (it helps if you build a striong desire as well for that image you make of yourself)

You should be 120 lbs.........  or at least 100.....  You have no fat to protect you if you get sick.......Don't even try to lose weight...... In fact, eat a snack and have a glass of milk before you go to bed.........

NOOOO!!!! you're 12!! if you try to lose weight now, you will stunt you're growth. any weight you think you have, will move to give you curves in a few years and you will regret trying to lsoe weight. 125 is a good weight. don't compare yourself. and weight can also vary depending on what kind of body you have. i weight 150 at 5 feet 3, but am still a size 6 at 21. but i'm a whole lot of muscle. Don't fall into the superficail ideas of needing to lose weight. I know you want to be grown, but you're just going to hurt yourself in the long run. you havent even begun to live. you may not feel that way, but its the truth!

Sounds like you need to tone up. You cant really lose that weight by eating differently. You need to turn what little fat you have, into muscle. But not bulky muscle.. you need to be tone. It will make you look trim, but it will add a little bit of weight. But don't worry about that. \n\nYou need to start doing some crunches, and some leg exercises, try walking, or doing some bicycle crunches. You know the ones, where you lie on your back, and move your elbows to your knees, lol\n\nSorry i really cant explain it. I'm a guy so its a bit different. I do crunches, sit ups, and i climb up and down ladders all day. So i lost my gut, and my legs are in good shape. The same basic principles work for women to. But i doubt you want to climb up and down ladders all day. I would suggest a Yahoo search on womens fitness.

It doesn't sound like you are unhealthy but if you want to lose a few pounds then you need to be working out. The best way to lose weight is to cut back on sugars and unecessary fats like potato chips and thignso fthat nature. Eat 3 balanced meals a day and work out every day for at least 30 minutes. Do cardio (running, jumping, anything to get your heart rate up) and weight training (you can use soup cans to tone your arms and your own weight to tone your legs), and finish by stretching. This lengthens your muscles and helps tone them. And you may not lose a lot of weight, but you will notice thaty ou body becomes stonger and more toned.

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.

Yes. You shouldn't hate yourself for being fat, short, tall or anything similar to these things. If you are not comfortable with the weight that you currently carry, then do something about it. Diet and exercise will help you lose the amount of weight that you would like. If you don't want to lose the weight, then just be satisfied with your decision. The only reasons that anyone should be concerned about their weight is the effect it has on them and others. Your health is important and not putting a burden on society if your weight becomes an issue. Hollywood is not correct. Looking like you just got out of a concentration camp is not sexy, healthy or appealing.

Hey, we are on the same page. I'm 5'3'' and I weigh 125. I used to weigh 107...so I need to lose 18 pounds. I know this sounds crazy.....but I lose weight by eating one meal a day. I'll snack on fruits and veggies only. Limit your calorie intake. Your body burns about 10 times your weight. So right now, your burn about 1,140 calories in a day. There are 3000 calories in a pound. Slowly cut back your intake. I lost 20 pounds in 2 1/2 months doing this. Try eating about 500 calories a day. then youll burn about 600 calories a day + whatever excercise you do. But always snack on healthy foods throughout the day or else your metabolism with slow. NO SODAS.FRIES.CANDY! limit your bread and pasta/rice intake as well.

A simple guide? Okay, here are the basics, but you probably already know them:\n\n1. You MUST burn more caloies than you consume daily. \n\n2. Drink only water. Soda dehydrates you.\n\n3. Find a physical activity you enjoy & do it at least 4 days per weak for 45 minutes or more at a time. You must get your heart rate up and work up a sweat. (Martial arts class does it for me!)\n\n4. If you exercise before you eat breakfast in the morning, you will lose weight a little faster.\n\n5. Muscle burns more calories than fat, so lifting weights will help.\n\n6. Walk as much as you can in addition to your exercise.....park farther away from the door, take the stairs instead of the elevator, walk to the store if you live close enough, ect.....\n\n7. Stay away from all things fried, sugary, or carbonated.  Eat as many vegetables as you wish.

I think to lose weight, you need to do a few things:\n\n1. Ask yourself-do you really need to lose weight? Check out some charts from the government on height vs. weight and see if you are in a healthy range. If you are but still feel overweight, maybe you just really need to tone up-weight bearing exercises can help with that. \n\n2. Ask yourself why you want to lose weight? The healthiest answer is for a healthier body. Don't do it to impress anyone or compete with someone else. Do it for yourself.\n\n3. Don't think of it as "diet", think "lifestyle change." Honestly, the only way to lose weight is to burn more calories than you consume. No matter what diet book or program you use, the bottom line is calorie restriction...no matter how they package it. \nBut this doesn't mean you have to be a freak about it. Simply make some adjustments to your portion sizes, add some exercise, choose healthier foods etc... These things can add up to burning more calories than consuming-which will end in weight loss.\n\n4. To make it as simple as possible-walk for exercise, eat lots of fruits and veggies, find low calorie alternatives to your favorite, fattening meals (like pizza...which I love...yum!) and reward  yourself for goals met. Also, don't get too hung up on the numbers on the scale or the size of your pants. Try to focus on your energy level, your mood, your complection...how you feel in general. \n\n5. Start slow, don't give up (if you really are overweight) and try to make it fun. Try new hobbies, try healthier dishes, exercise with friends/family etc. \n\n6. Of course, if you may have any health problems-make sure to consult a doctor first.
