Dani3ll3_Lov3 answered Saturday March 26 2005, 4:46 pm: DOn't cry about your weight!!! that should not be one of your priorities! I know that is easy for me to say becasue I am not over weight.. people aren't perfect.. and every1 has there problems.. while you may be over wight.. the prettiest girl in school could have aner problems with her parents.. or maybe the most popular guy in school has a small winkie.. LoL don't stress over this! if your over weight make the most out of life, my mom is over weight and she is the happiest woman I have ever seen. She always makes and effort to make people happy, and she doesn't let her phisical problems hold her down..
in other words if your personality is spectacular, the outside won't matter anymore.

charmed-cherry21 answered Saturday March 26 2005, 4:36 pm: You really aren't overweight. I am 14 5'4" and I weigh a little bit over that. But, dieting helps some. Eat healthier and like people said to me when I asked use an elastic on your arm and when you want to eat something thats not healthy snap it.
LoveNJstyle answered Saturday March 26 2005, 4:34 pm: the more you worry about it, the more depressing it will become! so, learn to love the skin you are in! no matter how hard it is just keep working and excersizing and youll get there! stay posative! <3 [ LoveNJstyle's advice column | Ask LoveNJstyle A Question ]
xOtWiXi answered Saturday March 26 2005, 4:30 pm: For starters, do not try diet pills! EVER! They are super bad for you, and usually make you put on more weight AND can kill you , I read it in Seventeen.
140 really isn't fat for your height, and just because you are most likely doesn't mean that you are 140, it can "store" in different parts of your body [like your tummy], you might actually only look 120, which, is a healthy weight.
Try tennis out, it's really fun! Swimming also can help. Eating healthy also will help, try veggie sushi out- it's delish!
Don't cry over it, you can do it! If you need to talk to anyone, just send me a question and I'll talk to you and support ya all the way! ♥ I know tons of stuff, and Seventeen has a workout monthly, and they work awesome! Please keep in touch! ♥ [ xOtWiXi's advice column | Ask xOtWiXi A Question ]

BLONDEalErT28 answered Saturday March 26 2005, 4:07 pm: okay this i can help you with. My mom is certified to be a trainer and has been in body building contest so i know what you are talking about. The best thing for you to do is eat many small portions a day. Then eat healthy snacks. Drink alot of water and the most important thing you have to excercise go to the gym work out... get an excercise plan that is good for you but at the same time pushes you to do better. I hope i was of some help if you need anything else and need to ask something just im me personally at kellerblondie28. Good luck and dont give up you can do it!

Karen answered Saturday March 26 2005, 4:02 pm: Dieting really doesn't work because you will just gain the weight back that you've lost. If you want to feel better about yourself, then you need to start doing things that will make you lose weight and then you will know that you are losing weight. Just start exercising; ride a bike, run or jog on a treadmill, do cardio workouts and activities such as jump roping, kick boxing, running in place, and so on. Start making better decisions when eating things. Eat healthier and watch how much you eat. All of these things will eventually fall into place and once you know that you are looking better and losing weight, you will feel better about yourself, don't worry. You aren't the only girl out there that is going through this. Check out [Link](Mouse over link to see full location) for workouts and exercises.
