how to get slimmer
okay, so, its going to be summer vacation soon. And I just wanted some advice on how to get a little slimmer. Now, I'm only 13, so i don't want any super heavy exercises. I just want to slim down. because, actually, I'm really over weight. I'm about 5'' feet, and despite my age, i weigh 150 lbs. Although, I don't really look that fat. I just look chubby. i want get a slimmer body, but I still want to keep my round baby shaped face.
Any ideas on how to get slimmer and lighter in 2 months please?

A good friend once told me "Weight loss comes from the kitchen, fitness comes from the gym" and I believe that! I'm in no way the best shape ever and am currently struggling through my own issues with weight but I can give you some tips that have helped me out along the way!
- Eat breakfast! I'm sure we'd be rich if we all got a dime anytime we've heard that but its true. Drink a glass of water when you first wake up as well, this will help with hunger.
- PACK SNACKS WHEREVER YOU GO. This has been a huge one for me. It saves you from the temptation of eating out or hitting the drive thru. Pack some berries or cheese/crackers, some turkey, granola bars, anything. They may not be the best for you but thats better than having a double cheeseburger staring at you on a menu, just waiting for you to say "Can I get a number 2 with a coke?"
- Bring water with you everywhere you go. This goes with the previous tip, don't be tempted to grab a soda or juice at the mini mart. You can get bottles that stay insulated if you're like me and hate room temperature water.
- Make a kick ass playlist and use it! Whether you like running, power walking, walking the dog, just go out and use it. Also, join an app like RunKeeper or Map My Run. This will help you with your fitness game, log in your workouts and its really motivating to see your miles, minutes and calories add up of what you've been doing!
- Eat your veggies and eat them often. This is my biggest struggle. I love fruits and veggies but I can't seem to stick with a consistent amount of veggies daily. Oh! And I'll give you one of my fav smoothies: 1 apple, 1 banana, 1 orange, handful of kale & ice. I drink this in the morning for breakfast or sometimes when i just want a snack to cool off.
And then the obvious, portion control, snack throughout the day to avoid binge eating due to hunger pangs, etc. Good luck, girl!

Diet is a big part of how much you gain or lose weight (basically your health). It is important to be healthy. You should make sure you're eating the correct amount of calories for your age and no more. I would suggest this website: [Link](Mouse over link to see full location) It's really great in telling you how many calories you need to consume to lose or maintain weight. IN addition it tells you how much protein, carbs and fats you should take in. Given those guidelines you should automatically lose weight if you are over weight. Also there is no harm in working out. Any activity you enjoy that allows you to sweat/keep moving is great. Muscles help burn calories and it's good to be fit.
Good luck!

As long as your doctor says it is okay for you to exercise find a sport or physical activity you really love like swimming, jumping rope, bike riding, jumping on a trampoline, softball, soccer, tennis or interactive video games(the JUST DANCE series is great!) 20 minutes a day is good to start. If you are eating junk food like chips, soda, cookies or candy, STOP! Eat a piece of fruit to satisfy your sweet tooth instead!Instead of watching TV go outside and take a short walk. You don't have to do heavy exercise just get up and be active. It makes a big difference. Have fun this summer and stay healthy!
