Ht. 4'11", Start: 125 lb, Today: 125 lb (BMI %tile: 96), Goal: 100 lb - I need help losing weight but there are no "distracting" things I can do (things I enjoy) often. Usually I can only excersice on my wii, unless I have gym class. Sometimes my parents and I go out with my scooter or soccer ball on the weekends, but only every now and then. What should I do since I can't excersise much? I don't know how much I weigh now since I don't have a scale, so I just put the same weight as the starting weight.

Hey! Don't worry too much about the exercise. Exercising is important, but it sounds like you're getting a pretty good amount of it already. I'm not sure how overweight you are, but it doesn't sound like too much. Your parents can really help you out if you tell them that you want to lose weight. Eating healthy foods is one of the best ways in the world to lose weight. Just eat less "junk food" like sodas, cookies, candybars, pasta, stuff like that and eat more vegetables and fruits. If what you eat is mostly meat, vegetables, and fruit, then you'll be on a great diet! And don't worry so much about how much you weigh. Just concentrate on eating healthy and exercising a little every week and you'll be doing great!
