im not fat but i wana loose weight. for the past week or two, ive been running for atleast 15 minutes a day on a tredmil (plus cheerleading and volleyball), and cuting down my meals. i eat 3 meals a day and try not to snack inbetween and i dont eat sweats. i weighted about 123 but i think i might weigh the same or a pound less. should i be seeing results better or am i being impatient? what else can i do?

Make sure also that your burning more calories then your eating. Running is the key to losing weight. Did you know just by working out you raise your heart rate so when your resting you burn more calories then you would if you didn't work out. Also drinking 8 glasses of water a day will totally help you lose weight. Hope i helped hun. [ HoNeStMiStAkE16's advice column | Ask HoNeStMiStAkE16 A Question ]

I have a food nutritionist, and they told me that it's better to eat smaller portions but more times a day (like 4 or 5 and eat maybe half a sandwhich.) This will speed up your metabolism. It really works! Just eat healthy foods excersize a little bit longer and you'll see results!

check your BMI and if it says you are at a normal weight, you really shouldn't have to try to looose weight, but i understand.
you can check your BMI (body mass index) at www.seventeen.com
