My weight


Question Posted Wednesday June 24 2009, 10:38 pm

I am about around 5'3 and I'm 13 and I'm about 107lbs. I am kinda worried about my weight increasing because I used to be really fat when I was younger and I don't want to be like that ever again but now I'm average skinny. I skateboard for an hour or more a day and I go to the gym almost everyday , and I play basketball for an hour a day. But I am noticing a wieght increase and fat starting to build on my stomach and thyes. When this started happening I started doing 100 situps every night. This isn't seeming to help very much. I need tips or stratagies on how to helpmy eating habbits or w/e you can do to help me loose 5 or 7 lbs

I don't think what you see building up is fat. The exercises you do seem like major body building workouts.
It is a fact that muscle weighs much more than fat does and with how active you are, I doubt that you are gaining fat, but building muscle. You shouldn't worry at all.

I wouldn't worry about gaining weight. You are under the recommended weight limit for that height.

You need to make sure you aren't creating a bad personal image of yourself, this can lead to many more problems. Anorexia, bullemia, excessive working out.

I would consider speaking to a professional about what you think of your personal image.
If you feel you need to lose more weight, speak to your parents/ gaurdians, and when they know that this issue is important to you, they can help you not to take it to far, and keep you healthy.

Consider eating foods with quite a bit of protein and fiber.
The fiber is great for your digestive system, and the protein will help give your muscles some gas for when you work them out.

Your family could also speak with a nutritionist.
