calories
If you have to burn more calories than you eat to lose weight, then how is it possible to burn 2,000 calories every day? Like it is healthy to have 2,000 calories per day but that is a lot to burn off. You know how there are different types of figures like apple, pear, spoon, and hourglass? Well, I am an hourglass according to a quiz I took but does that sound right for a 14yr old/5ft 4in/137lb/27in waist/36in hips person? (Those were the questions they asked to determine my body shape). Also, I am not doing anything different in my life but I am gaining weight and I look a bit more pudgy plus my body is getting bigger, why? I have been on a diet and excercising. I am so confused! Please help. Thanks so much.

For a start, your body may be going through a growth spurt-teenaged girls often feel themselves uncomfortably "full" as they develop larger breasts and wider hips. Also you shouldn't worry too much about losing weight, just eat for your appetite and don't graze too much on junky snack foods(haha, I'm one to talk, just having gobbled a huge slice of vanilla cheescake straight from the fridge-not something I recommend as it gives you bellyache). This is as important for health and wellbeing as it is for weight loss, which should never become your primary focus. This last I say for two reasons:1) Because eating disorders are, sadly all too common among girls your age-although I was some five years older than you when I developed a mild case of anorexia.
2)Advisor is quite correct in saying that your mind, abilities and thoughts are far more important than what some chart or magazine says you should look like. Facial expression is the only valuable aspect of beauty-you are far more likely to be beautiful if you are happy, and happiness is impossible if you are constantly fretting over your weight.
However, if your weight rises uncontrollably, to the extent where it affects your health, you would to best to see a doctor.
Good Luck.

first of all you young girls and your obssession with your bodies, your mind is more important than your body. if you want to lose weight dont eat junk food assuming you do and dont drink soda assuming you do. if you dont do either then your problem is your not exercising enough, the problem here is that in order for anyone to help you with your weight they need to know your diet and what type of exercises you are doing and for how long. send me an email and we can dicuss a weight loss or control plan for you if you would like. but for now i will leave you with this, balance your food with your exercise. dont expect to eat a chocolate pie and then think by doing 10 jumping jacks you will burn the calories it does not work like that.
