I'm 13 I way 125, I'm 5'0. I hate my weight, It makes self conscious like you couldn't believe [along with my acne] I want to loose weight a healthy way, this hopes of along with clearing my acne up.
I'm goaling to loose atleast 5 pounds this month.
I'm going to join the YMCA and I'm going to run track ,go to the pool on the weekends, cardio, and probably join a class or more.
I'm cutting out soda [which will be easy, I hardly ever have soda]
the hardest thing will be junk food, because thats all my family ever buys.
Any suggestions? Any opinions? Good or bad, I want to/need to hear it.
A healthy diet, active lifestyle and enough sleep is all it will take for you to see major improvements.
By the sounds of it, you are on the right track.
Surround yourself with friends and family who will support you through it.
Make up a grocery list for your parents and ask them to buy healthy foods. In most cases, they cost less than junkfood.
Try not to go overboard at first, as it will make you more likely to quit. Start slowly with eating healthy and exercise and mentally reward yourself with every improvement you make to your life. Also, make sure you are getting 8-10 hours of sleep per night. Since you are growing and a teenager, try getting 11 hours. Your body will be changing a lot.
Make the rewards something rather than junkfood. Try taking a bubblebath, doing your nails or sleeping in. That is, if you're a girl. If not, think of relaxing activities that you enjoy.
After a few weeks you will notice you have more energy and are not craving junkfood as much. However, since you are a teenager, you may start to gain weight in the next few years. As long as you keep a healthy lifestyle, you will lose the weight in no time. Or if you're lucky, you will keep the weight off all together.
With less sugars and fats in your diet, your skin will start to look better. Try using an ance product, such as proactive. If not, just make sure you wash your face twice a day.
When you do exercise, such as in PE class at school, be sure to try your hardest. When you are walking down the street, walk quickly and get your heartrate up.
If you're watching TV, do pushups during commercials. Little things like that help a lot. If you really want to get exercise but find it boring, play sports. Sports which include a lot of running, for example, take your mind off the pain because you are focussed on other things.
No matter what you have to be kind to yourself. Love yourself, even. In the end, you will succeed when you are ready. If you find yourself going back to old ways, such as being lazy or not eating a healthy diet, remind yourself of why you are doing it.
You want to look good, but most of all, feel good.
Dont lose hope, good luck.
