You've prolly heard this so many times b4, but, here goes...
I'm 13, in 8th grade, and weigh 156 lbs. I know that I shouldn't be concerned with what others think of me, but I am. There is this one group of girls, who, ever since I've moved here (in 6th grade) have teased me about my weight. I'm really sick and tired of it. I'd like to show them that I can be like them. By summer 2005, I would like to be able to wear a bikini. I picked one out and everything; it's pink, my fave color. Do you have any tips for getting into shape, and how to find a circle of people to support me? Also, what can I do about those girls?

Eating right and exercise is the key to have a healthy and sucessful weight loss.Exercise at least 30 minutes a day.Either walking,doing cardio,dancing,bike riding,basically anything that gets your heart to speed up and you are moving.Maybe join a local gym to keep you on a schedule.As for your eating habits.Make sure you are recieving enough fruits and vegetables everyday.And not over eating on simple carbohydrates.Don't cut them out entirely just eat them in moderation.Make sure you are having 8 glasses of water everyday.Milk is also very helpful.Not drinking soda would also be a good thing to cut out.Way too much sugar.To find a support group...if you do decide to join a local gym that would be a good place to search for a support group.Also your friends I am sure would be happy to help.To deal with those girls perfect the "cold hard bitch" look in the mirror (I fortunately have already and can freeze fire with that look)and tell them to fuck off.Good luck,and keep me updated on how you are doing.
