Okay, so I'm around 5 feet tall and I weigh about 115 pounds, I'm not anywhere near fat, but I have some chub I guess you could say, its not like terrible, but I don't feel comfortable wearing tanktops and stuff so all of my clothes are like babydoll shirts, but I really want to lose some weight by summer so I can finally wear tanktops and feel comfortable. How much should I run/walk every day, because I don't have a bike or anything else like that? Also what should I eat? I eat a lot healthier than I used to, I usually have a salad everyday for lunch at school and I have a healthy breakfast, but after I get home from school I pig out, so please help me stay determined not to, like give me some tips for that and some good foods that are healthy for me, thank you so much!

DO NOT make your self throw up your food you can really hurt your body by doing so. i hope this helped you. im sure you look just fine in tanktops.

If I don't want to eat that, I eat fruits. Fruits are naturally sweet so depending on where you buy it, there is no added sugar.
As to losing weight, I say instead of walking, join a club or after school activity. I've been dancing since I was 3 years old and I know that I tend to pig out a lot but I don't gain weight that often. If joining a club isn't your thing, I think you should walk at least 15 minutes but push yourself to succeed your maximum goal or who knows, even more then that.
