a lil overweight but trying to figure out why


Question Posted Tuesday April 12 2005, 7:05 am

hey im reese and i weigh 130 and im 15. well ive been a lil "chubby" over the years and it never seems to get any better. i see everyone at my age with different builds but their skinny. but im 5'5 or so and my stomach just never seems to flatten out. and i come from a family whos really skinny. please help. is it because i havent lost my baby fat yet? i would think im sorta underdeveloped at my age but i need others to help! thanks so much! *rEeSe* :)

I'm 15, 5'4 and weight like 150, and I don't think I'm fat. Thanks for the reassurance.

5'5 130 lbs isnt bad! you prolly still have some baby fat. theres not much you can do about it. i have a bunch on my upper back and it sucks! you can try doing crunches, sit ups and leg lifts. start out with a few and gradually add more. much love <3

Firstly, 130 pounds really ISN'T overweight for your height,honest! But here's a few tips on losing what you want to anyway. Maybe not all of them will be good for you, but you can give them a try:

*Never eat two hours before going to bed

*For flattening out your stomach, sit ups and crunches are the best-they actually do work!

*I know it sounds obvious, but try an cut out any excess chocolate, sweets, crisps and fizzy stuff. You'll appreciate it in the long run!

*For a faster metabolism (or whatever you call it, lmao!) eat five small meals a day instead of three big ones every other day. This will burn off the food faster!

*Try to cut out on any snacks-if you really want a bar of chocolate or whatever then eat it after a meal cause it digests quicker.
Good luck and I hope I helped!

Sorry that you think your chubby. You probably aren't, I recently turned 15, 2 weeks ago and I am like 145..with some fat as well..yet I am only 5'3. It's most likely your baby fat. I have seen girls who are more then 150 and they are shorter...I have tried to get a flat stomach as well..and for me it's slowly going it..not really but a little every few months..it can just be your muscles (sp?) as well...you may seem like your fat but it can just be that instead..try running up hill and doing 25-50 sit-ups a day, and by summer you should look good.

-need anything else feel free to drop one-

you probably dont look as chubby as you think you do. it might just be baby fat, if you are really concerned about your wieght then you should exercise (chrunches, situps, cardio activities, etc.) and eat healthy. remember that you dont have to have the same wieght as everyone else, maybe thats just the way you are and just cause your family is skinny doesnt neccisarily mean you will be. also 130 isnt overweight, its about normal for your age and height. if you really feel you are to fat talk to your doctor or family about

you aren't overweight, you're under tall. i'm the same age and 140, so you aren't fat, you just need to grow.

I'm sorry that you think your chubby. You probably aren't. If you really want to change your weight you need to work out every night just by doing simple crunches and sit-ups. EVERY night. You can't depend on genetics to be skinny. You've got to eat healthy, too. I know people think that eating an apple a day is healthy, but eating healthy is a lot more than that. You've got to eat healthy every meal. For breakfast, try to find a low calorie cereal with less sugar, like Fruitloops. Bring your lunch to school and make sure you have a simple sandwich, but always pack a vegetable and/or fruit. At dinner, make sure there is always a vegetable to eat. Trust me, it makes all the difference.
