Hopelessly smiling...:(
Hey everyone..I'm 13, 5"4, and 135 lbs. I'm athletic, i'm really into softball and i'm a cheerleader. ALL of my friends try so hard to tell me all the time that i'm not fat. I know I may not be FAT, but i'm most definitely not skinny, or close to it. My stomach sticks out about 3 inches more than i'd like it to. Everything else about me is fine, but my stomach is stopping me from wanting to have a boyfriend, stopping me from being confident, and basically taking over my life because it always causes me to be in a bad mood. I'm not one of those people that want to be deadly skinny. I honestly am overweight, although my BMI is average. I've tried diets but they usually only last about a few weeks, a month tops. I excercise whenever i can which isnt frequent, but NOTHING seems to help. Im going on vacation in April and I would really like to have lost a lot of weight, well, just inches i suppose. I don't have trouble getting boyfriends but the problem is im always scared that they dont like me or wont if they realized that im not as skinny as everyone else. When i dress myself, i dont wear wicked tight clothes, or slutty crap. I look good but not as good as i could look if i was skinnier. If ANYONE has any advice as to what i could do, i would TRULY appreciate it. I can sometimes be very committed to diets but not as much as i could be. I need something that i can easily do to get rid of some inches by april, or sooner. I dont realy have money or rides to go to the gym, so i have to work with whatever i can do at home. I jog too, but that doesnt really help me. I would honestly be the happiest person alive if i was skinnier, and i mean that. Please, help me out guys. p.s-sorry this is so long.

I think you should ask your friends to help you out. Maybe try working out with them and have them kind of help you get motivated. You are NOT fat, their are so many other bigger people out there. But if you want to loose weight, just ask your friends to go jogging maybe every other day around a park or something. Besta Luck

To lose weight or to become skinnier, it's pretty simple but it takes a long time to see results. Here's what you need to do in order to look skinnier: Start eating 5 small meals a day so your metabolism speeds up, eat healthy, watch what you eat, exercise daily (to lose inches off of your stomach, you can do crunches and sit ups and jogging will help too, but only if you do it about 5 times a week and jog for about a few miles). You can also go on a low carb and calorie diet. Try eating a lot of vegetables, since you won't gain weight. You need to be very committed when trying to lose weight because even if you do some of the stuff that I mentioned all the time, you won't see results for a while. Don't worry, guys don't even care if you aren't skinny and they won't realize that. Have confidence and if you know you aren't fat, then stop thinking about that. Hope I helped :)

135 lbs is nothing to freak out about. It is overweight but you shouldnt put yourself down like that. Do about 50 crunches a day, and you have to make time to exercise even though u said u cant. Try getting up really early so that you can go running. Also do your homework during school so that you can go running after school. Find a friend to run with so that its more fun and if your house is close to your school walk home. Your going to have to stick to a diet, try the low carb diet and have your parents help you out.

First of all don't judge yourself on weight. You could weight a lot yet be thin because it could be muscle or bones etc you know? I can say I'm 15, same height and weight as you. It helps if you cut back on salt. Your body absorbs more water there for keep extra water in your body. More then you need and it makes you feel bloated as well. Salt isn't the healthiest thing for you anyways so it helps a lot to cut back on it. Also drink 8 cups of water a day. It really is good for your weight. If you have trouble keeping track of how much water you've had wear 8 thin bracelets and everytime you have a cup more one to the other wrist. I would advise to start doing some muscle toning like sit ups, different kinds. If you don't know more kinds look some up on the internet or ask your parents or friends, someone should know. You say you jogg, and if you jogg hard ((but not enough to make you dead tired)) it should do you well if you go for 30mins a day. Make sure you do a 5-10min cool down. So your heart doesn't get all confused and such. You should do 30mins of cardio a day. Either it's jogg, playing a sport, building a snowman in the winter ((it's more of a work out then you think! lol....)) It doesn't always have to be jogging because that is boring I know. lol... I can tell you dieting is a bad idea because you don't get everything you need in your diet and when you are in your teens you really need nutrients and minerals. I would actually sugguest a multi vitamin because working out you need more stuff to keep you healthy. I've been put on a multi vitamin and vitamin b because of all the working out I do. Try and less up the amount of self food you get. A lot of snacks have trans fats in them. Trans fat is horrible for your weight and health. 1 gram a day is bad for you yet the average north american gets 10 grams a day. Variety in fruits and vegetables is good. Different colours have different nutrients. Look up fun smoothie and fruit desserts! Always a good thing. Now this is long! lol...good luck!
