u don't really have to do a hardcore excercise u could just try maybe riding ur bike or hangin out with friends more also once school starts u'll probably lose weight cause u won't have as much spare time and if u have a really really bad cravin for junk food just drink a diet soda or water and then weight awhile and go do somethin and hopefully you'll forget about it

Ht. 5'4", Today: 115 lb (BMI %tile: 59) - im not overweight cuz i weigh 115 and im 5'4 but i got this 4 overweight ppl. i got it off this site. i dont think ppl look @ the stuff that much here cuz they ask bout how 2 lose weight. well it says:Cut in half whatever you usually eat, eat half, and save half for later. You're not giving it up, because you can have it later. If you're at a restaurant, ask the waitress to box up the half you don't eat and take it with you to have the next day. Even cutting just a third or a fourth off will help. The idea is to eat the same things you are used to, just less of them. This is hard for the first week or two, but then it gets easier. Cutting down by little steps each day may be easier. Then it's like a new habit. You don't even miss the extra food. You can then adjust the size of the servings you eat, so that you stay where you want your weight to be. And remember... typical serving sizes are set by people who want to sell food...(Click here to see rest of message).

Hi Curly I am 12 and 150 too I just want to tell you that all you have to do is eat right like eat more fruits and veggies chicken and fish and try to stay away from mayonnaise cheese fried foods and sweets. And exercize bike ride or go for a walk for 30 minutes a day and after you do that do 20 to 30 sit ups and leg exercizes.

Don’t worry about it! ~! ~ If everyone was skinny, and beautiful, the world would be awful, and so, I don’t think you need to lose any weight. But if there is a chance that you are saying "I just want to be skinny!" then this is my Advise to you. My dad ate no sugar for 2 weeks, and he lost 20 pounds, and my sister drank like, 4-5 bottles of water a day and lost about 10-15 pounds!~ And, I ride my bike 2-3 miles every day only if I did not go places with my friend, or if I did not get any exercise during the day. My question is to everyone is, why do people ask how to lose weight? I mean, there is no secret, no special way to lose weight, I mean, it does not happen overnight!~ Everyone know how to lose weight!~ Eat right, drink lots of water, and exercise!~ I weigh about 130 pounds right now, and I feel over weight. But I have stopped talking to people on this sight, and I have... (view more)

Hey! I am finely losing weight and I am so happy. I lost weight but all I did was eat better and smaller porition but now I am doing to add some exercise and I was wongering if this would be enough. Ok, go for a 30 min walk everyday, 90 crunchs a day, and weight training 2 times a week for about 15 mins. So what do you think. I have tried a million things and I did so much exercise I didn't even has time but I have started this workout and it is easy so if you guys think that it is good I will stick with it. Thanks for all your help!!!!!!!!

hey gur, no problem i can give you some tips, assuming that u can chase an icecream truck , i bet you can take a walk, every day go a little farther, it might be hard at first and it might get boring so bring a cd player\cassete player w\ you, and why have icecream it has no nuitritional value. instead hand a pair of jeans on ur wall and look @them EVERY DAY!!!!! eat fiber(bread pasta patato<~~(no extra junk on it}. and have fruits and veggies(bananas are great and u can make all sorts of things with them, like smoothies{2-3 bananas cup of ice table spoon off chocolate and 2 cups of milk(1%) }and they are good!!!! take fiber every mourning. walk mourn and night, walk afterdinner then go to bed, NO MIDNIGHT SNACKS!!!!! try to get up earlyer each day 4 ur walk!!!
