Dieting.
14/F
I'm five feet tall and weigh about 117 lbs. It's not that bad, considering I have muscle on me, but I also have partially larger thighs, upper arms, and a gut.
My question is, any tips on losing weight?
I want to get a flat stomach, or mostly flat stomach, by summer and I want to lose at least 7 lbs. I know you have to do aerobics, running, etc. etc., but is there any other way to make the process faster?
Thanks in advance.

Honestly, I think 117 pounds is a healthy weight for your height-I'm 5'6" and 135 pounds, which is a bit overweight but it's an average weight. But anyway, a good weight-loss exercise is stationary biking (exercise bike, or try out a spin class). It has more effect than just walking. Eat less calories, and burn more, cut back on bad food, and get a lot of rest.

Okay, what I'm about to tell you may be different than what you've heard, but I'm speaking from a biological standpoint and also from personal experience.
I'm pretty sure you'll have people talking about doing exercises to lose weight, but that's a lot of hard work!
One week during winter break, my family and I went on a cruise and I totally PIGGED OUT! (24 hour food service, heck yeah!) I would think I gained weight after eating all that food for a week, but a couple days after I got home and weighed myself, I lost 8 pounds!
It might've been my metabolism but I don't know.
However, there's a biological explanation for this. When you're living your life and you eat about the same everyday, you have what's called a set point, where your metabolism is the same and digest food at the same rate. BUT! If you change the amount of food you eat for a period of time, your "set point" changes a little bit. THEN! When you go back to your "regular" diet, your body thinks it's not getting enough food because you've been putting all that food in your body for that period of time, and thus, you lose weight.
Voila!

diet. it doesnt have to be serious, just dont eat as much junk food (i dont know if you eat any now, but just saying it helpes if you dont eat any)
Do some v-sits (put ur legs in the air and reach, like crunches)or get an excersice ball and do crunches on them.
do alot of running and stuff.
and do weight training. that helpes your arms and legs by putting some muscle on it. and can help fat go away.
I hope i have helped, and good luck!
