weight
i am a 16 year old female, i am 5 ft. 3 3/4 inches. i normally weigh about 110 pounds, but it's sort of weird because my weight seems to rise and fall all the time. sometimes i weigh myself & i'm only 109 lbs, then 2 days later i'll be 115 lbs...then it will keep falling & rising! i do't understand why (i mean i know it has to do with the amount of calories you eat) but on most days, especially monday-friday i eat pretty much the same things. does it have anything to do with something besides the food i eat? can it have to do with your period? are there specific times where right after you eat you weigh more & then you drop some weight? i also do between 100-200 sit ups every night, but that only really shapes my abs...it doesn't really affect my weight! does anyone have any idea on why my weight rises & falls the way it does? any advice on how to keep it around 110 or 111? also, do specific foods like chinese cause you to put on weight more eaisly? thank you!

Yep, it's another reason because your a teenager. It probably isn't you. Your body is going through stages, still, at 16 years old. And typically, you'll notice that roller-coaster affect with your weight. Some days you'll gain and some days you'll lose weight. This actually happens your whole life. Even through adulthood. There are times in people's life where they gain weight and then lose it. In my nutrition class, we learned about the rise and fall issue. The main reason why this occurs is because of your hormones. They change and yes, your period can definitely cause it. During PMS, or just when you have your period, certain times you'll get bloated. Some girls will gain weight and then once their cycle is over they will lose it again.
To maintain your weight, just keep consistency. Exercise typically around the same time each day if you can. And maintain your diet. * the foods you eat* You can also try to stop the bloating by eating certain foods and beverages. I can't remember what those are right now because I'm kind of tire but you could Google it. Or if you want, I'll get back to you on it. Just let me know. But for the most part, I wouldn't worry too much about it. If it happens, just go with it.
Chinese food is fine. Just like any other food, watch what you eat and how much of it. For instance, don't load up on the chinese fortune cookies. If you typically eat Chinese, that is okay. Just control your carbs.
Drink lots of water! Most people don't drink the recommended amount (8 to 9 cups) but it is one of the key things you can to to maintain your weight. It flushes out your system, which I'm sure you already know. But if you keep drinking lots of water, maybe you will notice an improvement.
Good luck!

The main reason your weight keeps changing is because of your period..it has to with hormones. You can't really control it. Also the best time to weigh yourself is in the morning before you eat, because that's the most accurate measurement! A lot of girl's weight's flucuate..but it's not like anybody can tell..and don't worry becasue you aren't fat so why worry?! Hope this helps! ♥ caitie
