I think i am very fat. I am 5'1 and i weight 110 pounds..all my friends are tall and they weigh more than me but are skinnier than me. They are all 13 and i am still 12. Sometimes I feel like I am the fattest 12 yr old in the world. Do you think there is a way I could slim up my body? If so could you tell me how? I would really appreciate it.
oHjOyItSztRiNax3 answered Tuesday July 27 2004, 8:59 pm: you could always make your own routine ^_^ like everyday do a certain amount of pushups and situps and stuff like that, and maybe jog a couple of times, go walking, eat healthy, all those should help a little, if not .. weight watchers always works but if ya dont wanna do something like that just do your own workouts ^_^ [ oHjOyItSztRiNax3's advice column | Ask oHjOyItSztRiNax3 A Question ]
Fish answered Tuesday July 27 2004, 6:17 pm: Find out what your Body Mass Index is. You can find out (usually) from a gym teacher, school nurse, definately your doctor, and in this month's National Geographic. Guess what? You don't even have to find out, because I can tell you right now, with the National Geo in my hand, that you are not fat. It's just the way you view yourself. Don't compare yourself to your friends or other people's bodies. It's not healthy. When you start to think, "I'm soooo fat", look at yourself in the mirror and tell yourself to quit lying to yourself. YOU. AREN'T. FAT. If you want to talk about simply toning muscles, get on your bike and ride around about three times a week for half an hour. It's fun, and it makes you look good. But dude, you aren't fat.

confusedbabii answered Monday July 26 2004, 11:24 pm: you can work out, like running and situps and possibly aerobics. if u like music n dancing, when you're alone,you can dance.also dont eat so much bread cereal and pasta. try salad and meat. they have protein and protein helps you grow(as you get taller you get skinnier if u didnt have a growth spurt yet).also,if you like dressing,try to get low fat dressings.
hope i helped, <3 niki lyn [ confusedbabii's advice column | Ask confusedbabii A Question ]
crystal200022us answered Monday July 26 2004, 11:20 pm: Well, first off, I don't think you're fat. That's good weight to be at but I do have a few suggestions that you can do if you really want to exercise. First of all, you can go walking around your neighborhood. Secondly, I recommend a few exercises before you go to bed. The first exercise I do is leg lifts. For those, you lay on one side and prop your head up with your hand. Then, you just bring your leg up and down. I recommend doing 30 on each leg. If that's too easy then you definitely do more. The second exercise I do is arm curls. For those, if you have small weights then you'll want to use those. Basically, you bring your arms down in front of you and, keeping your elbows still, you bring the weights up to your chest and you'll want to do as many of those as you want. The last exercise I do is crunches or situps. Also, stretching before going to bed helps too. Another thing you can do is just watch your calorie intake and if you need to snack before meals then definitely eat fruits and veggies and one last thing I suggest not eating past 7pm. I hope this helps and good luck!

SeXyBLuEyEzGuRL answered Monday July 26 2004, 11:16 pm: Sweety 110 pounds for a person who is 5'1 is not all that bad. I think you're in the perfect weight range for your height. the only reason why your friends are skinnier than you but weigh more is because of their height. If you really want to slim up that bad try running a LOT and do some weight lifting. [ SeXyBLuEyEzGuRL's advice column | Ask SeXyBLuEyEzGuRL A Question ]

x0sTucK_in_ParaDise answered Monday July 26 2004, 11:03 pm: Look, just because you may think 110 is fat, its not..if you as a boy the perfect weight is 120 at like 15 or 16, so just maintain that weight for a couple years and you'll be beautiful, you don*t need to diet.
