First off, I recommend going walking at least 30 minutes everyday. For arm exercises, I recommend arm curls. If you have small weights this will help but basically you bring your arms down in front of you and bring the weights up to your chest and back down. I would do as many as you can! For stomach exercises, I recommend doing crunches or situps. One last thing, I recommend doing stretches before you go to bed. This helps you to relax more before you go to bed and that's when you burn fat the most. I hope this helps and good luck!

Well, I usually walk for at least 30 minutes but it actually usually ends up being about 45 minutes to an hour. I try to walk everyday if I can unless I work late so I'd say I walk 5 to 6 days a week if I can. So far I've lost a total of 6lbs. Some other things I've done to lose the weight is I watch my calorie intake and I don't eat past 7pm. I try to snack on fruits and veggies if I need a snack. For exercise, I do leg lifts, arm curls and crunches or situps. For leg lifts, I lay on one side and bring my leg up and down and then switch sides for the other leg. I recommend starting out with 30 on each leg. For arm curls, if you have small weights this will help but you bring your arms down in front of you and keeping your elbows still you bring the weights up to your chest. I would do as many of these as you can. One last thing I do is stretch before I go to bed. This helps me to relax more when I sleep and you tend to burn fat more when you are sleeping. Well, I hope this helps you and good luck!

You can walk and still lose weight. I've been walking everyday for at least 30 minutes and have lost some weight since I've started doing it so if you're looking to lose weight then I definitely recommend walking for part of your exercise. I hope this helps!

Well, first off you should watch you calorie intake. Don't eat past 7pm and if you need a snack then eat fruits and veggies. Secondly, you need to exercise. I suggest you go walking at least 30 minutes a day around your neighborhood. Also, do some leg lifts, arm curls and crunches or situps. For leg lifts, lay on one side and bring your leg up and down. I recommend starting out with 30 on each leg. For arm curls, small weights will help but you bring your arms down in front of you and keeping your elbows still you bring the weights to your chest and back down. Do as many as you can for those! One last thing, try stretching before you go to bed. That helps you to relax more while you sleep and you burn fat more that way. I hope this helps and good luck!

Don't eat past 7pm and if you need a snack then eat fruits and veggies. Secondly, you need to get some exercise. I recommend walking everyday for at least 30 minutes around your neighborhood.

I would do 50 on each arm. One last thing, I recommend stretching before going to bed. It helps you to relax more when you're sleeping and that's when you burn fat the most. I hope this helps and good luck!

Well, first off, watch your calorie intake. Don't eat past 7pm and if you need snacks fruits and veggies are the best thing for that. Also, if you go walking everday in your neighborhood for at least 30 minutes that helps. I definitely recommend the crunches too. They are like situps but smaller. Just put your hands behind your head and go up as far as you can without going all the way up. If you want it to stay off you just have to keep doing exercises and not slack off. I hope this helps and good luck!

You have nothing to worry about. Honestly, some girls don't even start until they are 16 so just relax and it will come before you know it and belive me when it hits you'll wish it never did. ;-) I hope this helps!
Crystal

That's definitely good for somebody who usually never runs. Keep up the good work. :-D
Crystal

Well, it does make your legs smaller but it also will give you muscle which instead of your legs looking flabby (not saying they do though) they will look muscular but it helps you to lose weight and stay active as well. :-D
Crystal

Some exercises I do are leg lifts which you lay on one side and prop your head up with your hand and then bring your leg up and down. I recommend doing 30 on each leg to start out with but if that is too easy then do more. Also, I do arm curls which you get small weights if you have them and then bring your arms down in front of you and while keeping your elbows still you bring the weights up to your chest. One last thing, are crunches or situps and definitely walking is good for you. I hope this helps and good luck.

Trying to be anorexic or bulimic is not the answer. That can potentially kill you or hurt you very bad. I recommend eating 3 meals a day but watch your calorie intake. If you need snacks before meals definitely have fruits or veggies. Also, for exercise, I recommend going walking in your neighborhood. Before going to bed, you should do some different exercises as well. I recommend doing as many crunches or situps as you can. Also, do leg lifts. For those, you just lay on one side propping your head up with your hand and bring your leg up and down. Try doing 30 on each leg. If that's too easy then definitely do more. Another exercise I do are arm curls. You want small weights for this if you have them and you just rest your arms down in front of you and keeping your elbow still you bring the weights up to your chest. One last thing, I recommend doing stretches before you go to bed too. I hope this helps and good luck.
Crystal

I definitely recommend, for the stomach, to do crunches. Try starting out with maybe 30. If that's easy, then definitely do more. Also, for the arms I recommend getting small weights and doing arm curls and I would do as many as you can for those. That should help gain muscle. These are the things I do almost every night. I hope this helped.
