Hi, I'm 14 years old. And I weigh around 115 pounds. I don't exactly have a flat stomach but I'm not fat at the same time. I'm 5'2 and I think that I should loose some weight. I've been trying not to eat so much (I don't anyway) But I get light headed when I don't eat. What I'm asking is, is 115 pounds for a 5'2" 14 year old too much to weigh? I also don't feel good about myself because I don't have a flat stomach. Is there anyway I can get a flat stomach? I used to have one when I danced and did gymnastics, but I've quit those so I don't do any excersie anymore and It's hard to keep in shape that way. Also my parent's don't own any excersie equitment and I don't go to the gym. Thanks..*Love Annoyomous*

I think you just need some more confidence in your own body. If that means that you need to lost a few pounds, take an aerobics lesson or go to the gym once a week. Or get one of those yoga balls and do some exercises to your favorite music or while ou watch tv. The possibilities are endless! And also, it isn`t how much you eat, it`s what you eat. Just try to cut down on junkier foods and eat another apple or broccoli :p Not eating is not good for you!

lynx_wings answered Friday July 23 2004, 6:29 pm: According to [Link](Mouse over link to see full location), you're not fat at all. Your BMI is 21.0, which is actually a bit on the skinny side of normal. So you're perfect. ^^
Do sit-ups. There are different kinds of sit ups you can do. Find them on the internet.
Go back to dance or gymnastics! Or, if you hate them, try Yoga. You don't necessarily have to take a class for it. Just buy a book or look online. There are sooooo many Yoga sites out there. -_-;;
On the eating thing, DON'T STOP EATING! Just eat healthier foods. Get some recipies for fruit smoothies, make them, and have them for lunch!

xHeartxOfxGoldx answered Friday July 23 2004, 2:46 pm: NO YOUR NOT FAT AT ALL!!!! trust me... my friend is 5' and 110... and shes really skinny, if you want to keep in shape.. a good exercise for your stomach is crunches and sit up... and good leg exercises are running and biking.. also if you want to tone up your arms, you could stand in a doorway and push your arms against the sides and hold for 30 secs. and you could do that 3 times a day..Those are just some suggestions..
if you need anymore advice... leave one in the inbox or im me :)
falling4you0315 answered Friday July 23 2004, 2:36 pm: Sweetie, you are exactly like one of my friends. She's about your height and weights about the same. Don't worry it! Believe me, its only because you're short...and dont try and lose weigt either. When you're a teen and you're still developing everything, you need all the food and nutrients you can get! You're beautiful and you shouldnt care how much you weight..I'm 5'7" and I weight a lot more than you..so dont worry! if I don't, you shouldnt ;) [ falling4you0315's advice column | Ask falling4you0315 A Question ]

BeachBum5724 answered Friday July 23 2004, 2:28 pm: of course your not fat!!! just because you don't have a flat stomache doesn't mean you're fat! don't think that! but if you're trying to get a flatter stomache try doing crunches everyday and go for a run in the morning. If you have any more questions, just drop on in my inbox!
crystal200022us answered Friday July 23 2004, 2:19 pm: Well, personally...I don't think 115 is too much at 5'2 and so I wouldn't worry about that but if you're really worried about looking thin and getting a flat stomach then I recommend doing crunches or situps. Those will help a lot and I would start out with 30 if you can. If that's too much then don't do as many but if it's pretty easy for you then definitely do more. Also, eating healthy like fruits and veggies will help to not gain weight and watch your calorie intake. I hope this helps you and good luck!!
