16/f
I'm 145lbs and a size 7 and i'd like to fit into atleast a size 5. Also, how can i get rid of tummy fat as well as excess fat on my thighs and arms? I want to lose weight but i don't even know where to start. How long should i exercise each day and how much should my weight loss goal be? I don't live near a gym & can't do any other activities because i'm also caught up ons schoolwork. Thanks!

since you live nowhere near a gym, it is going to be hard for you to lose weight. however, find a gym that has something like you pay for 3 days and then get a plan that someones helps create just for you. if you cant afford this or cant find a gym, try setting your own plan and stick to it. borrow or buy some small weights, a mat, and an exercise ball. try websites like realage.com for nutrition tips and exercise tips, and even try a video. go to amazon.com to find the highest rated video. also, try to go through your refrigerator and throw out or label all the things bad for you. start to eat one a day, then only on weekends and at parties. try finding healthy food you like, not shoving down tastless salads and gross diet foods. google some exercises. and every time you need motivation just imagine how good you will look. also, dont push yourself. that is unhealthy, even though shows like the biggest loser make it look easy and healthy to lose tons of weight. set small goals and weigh yourself once a month, or two weeks.

I used to be the same weight/size :D lol.
You should start off small first, like losing a pound a week or 4 pounds in a month. Since you're focusing on getting into a size 5, try to avoid the scale and use measurements to see if you've lost weight. By exercising you may gain weight (muscle mass), which sometimes demotivates people. Don't weight yourself or measure more than twice in a week, and if you're able to, do it every other week.
You should exercise about 30 minutes a day by doing any cardio activity (walking, jogging, running, dance, etc.), but a long with that, you should do strength training exercises which can be found on sparkteens.com or on youtube. Remember to change it up, because your body will plateau if it gets too used to your activities (every 2-4 weeks).
You should be aware of your calorie intake also, and eat healthy. Decrease your junk food intake, and substitute it with fruits. It's okay to cheat out once in awhile, especially if you feel that you've accomplished a goal that works towards your end weight. Or you can reward yourself with something that isn't food, to motivate yourself. Drink lots of water, or green tea.
That's about it :D, I think.
