TEENAGExHEARTS answered Friday November 10 2006, 7:41 pm: i'm 15, 5'3", and i weight 106 and i STILL have a little pouch of fat below my belly button. i mean my pouch is small but it is still there. so the point to this is that your weight is not what makes you thin or fat.
but anyways on to you =] for your stomach do crunchs (like the girl below me said) and also do bicycles.

But anyways. Don't diet. You don't need to. My pe Dance/aerobics teacher told me that to lose weight in specific areas, you need to do cardio AND work that area. For example: For your stomach, Do 15 regular crunches(do them slowly, make them last 3 seconds, and your shoulder blades should be off of the ground when you are up), then, Put your Right ankle on your left knee (Kind of like halfway crossing your legs when you're sitting) and lay your right arm out beside you(left hand still under your neck) and bring your left elbow to your right knee. Thats a version of a crunch for the sides of your stomach. Then, reverse everything to the left. Do each side 15 times. Then, Do 15 crunches with your legs straight up in the air (like a regular one, just with your legs up). Do that routine 3 times a week (increase the number you do as you build your muscle).
For your legs, do 50 leg lifts per leg, and gradually work up that number also. Another GREAT exercise for thighs is this: Stand on your knees, legs straight behind them(not bent in). Make sure your body is nice and tall. Put your arms out in front of you, bent in at the elbows and one on top of the other (like a genie). Slowly lean your body back until you can't go back any farther. At first you should get about a third of the way back. You should really feel the burn in your thighs. Do about 15-20 of those, and gradually work that number up as you continue your work out. Do this routine for your legs 3 times a week also (probably on the same nights you do your crunches)
For the cardio, Jog, or power walk for 20-30 minutes 2 times a week (when you arent doing your crunches amd leg exercises)
Cardio is important. The exercises are building muscle, but the cardio will allow you to really see the results.
I'm sorry the response is so long, but I tried to be really clear on what I meant since I don't have pictures. And once again, my teacher told me this, and she teaches classes, so I'm not just randomly guessing. Also, you can buy a teen magazine such as Seventeen. They usually have a workout routine in there designed to flatten areas. And they'd have pictures. Oh, and pilates is good too =)
