Hey I just want to know how I can slim my legs down? I want them to be really thin. I'm 13 and 147 pounds I want to be atleast 120. So over the summer I want to lose about 30 pounds. What exercises can I do? Should I run alot during the summer? Bcuz Imma start running everyday for about 30 minutes til the end of summer. And like I'm drinking only water for the rest of the summer too! So any and all advice will help! But please dont leave anything saying that you don't need to be losing that much weight! (link)

30 pounds in 5 months is 6 pounds a month, which is perfectly healthy and do-able, as long as 120 is a reasonable goal for you. Have you checked to make sure that you would be in the healthy range for your height at 120? Also, you need to make sure you are safe when you work out. You don't want to injure yourself.
First of all, don't run every day. You should always give your body at least 1 day (usually 2) to rest per week. Not only do you run a high risk of injury if you do not allow your body rest, but you also will not get the full benefits of the workout, because you do not allow your muscles time to recuperate.
Second, if you're going to be exercising outdoors in the summer, be careful. Make sure to stay hydrated. Drink plenty of water BEFORE, DURING, AND AFTER working out. If you're going out running, take water with you. Also, wear sunscreen to protect your skin.
Another important safety measure that you MUST do when working out is to WARM UP beforehand and STRETCH afterward. Don't skip these steps, because they are necessary to avoid injury and make sure you get the most from your workout.
I hope these tips help, because safety is very important when working out.
