Ok, so I'm 13... I weigh 125 lbs... and I'm 5'3... I think I'm overweight.... my thighs are 31 inches around at the biggest part..... I have a very low self confidence because of my weight... so, what I want to know is.. by the time I'm 16 do you think I would look skinnier because I would grow into myself?? And is it possible that if I grow into myself.. would I lose inches off of my thighs?? I have really big hips and thighs.... I hate it!!! I just dont want to look like this my whole life... also... I have hair all over my stomache!! It is the Darkest around my bellyWbutton though... I have askd my mom if I could bleAch it but she says no all the time,and tells me to just shave it... but every time I shaVe it.. there is little black dots from where I couldn't get down far enough to shave the hair that is starting to grow back in undernEath.. any ideas on tht too?? Oh, and please dont try to comfort me and say stuff like "god made you for who you Are and just accept it" thanks!!
If you really want to taper your body more, join a swim club. Swimming exercises every part of your body, it makes you physically stronger and more aerobically fit and it will lower your body fat. However, keep in mind that you will gain some muscle, which is heavier than fat, so don't obsess so much over the numbers on the scale. I had a girlfriend at one time who was a competitive swimmer. She was around 5'5" and 140 pounds and had an absolutely smoking body. So it isn't the number attached to the weight, but how you carry it.
If you can't afford to join a swim club, eat a low fat diet, run a mile or two a day (which tends to thin the legs out, but running is also hard on your knees and back) and keep your caloric intake under 2000 and you should be fine.

She weighed 113 lbs When she was about to give birth. Anyways I Hate wearing dresses cuz my knees look knobby and i have no boobs. But my advice for you Is to wax any unwanted hair. Look up on youtube Butt excersizes and it will help all down there. Also buthighs Is an Ahh-Mazing workout for your but and thighs, Run everyday and do sit ups. Thats all i have.

For starters, you're only 13, and still developing. You shouldn't wish to look skinnier, especially this young. Your only concern should be whether your BMI is higher than it should be. There are many BMI calculators online which are easy to follow, but I can tell you, you're at a healthy weight. As long as you have a balanced diet and keep fit... Yeah, you learn this stuff in school.
You should not feel low about your weight. For your own sake, I recommend not looking at skinny models or whatever and aiming to be like them. You have plenty of time to do that when you're older- like I said, you're still developing. If you're ever feeling down, just pick out outfits that make you feel happy and comfortable whilst looking great. My mum always said "fake it 'til you make it" (which is weird. I don't like my mum using that language.:L) But she was right.
adviceman49 answered Friday July 29 2011, 8:20 am: As a parent I can tell you for certain that at this time you are a healthy teenager who is is either just starting or in the process of going through puberty. To worry about your figure is something you should not be concerned with at your age. Your figure will change over the next few years as the hormones you are now producing take their hold on you.
What you can do to effect what your body will look like when you are 17 or 18 is to eat right, limit the junk food. Exercise properly and get the proper amount of rest. See you doctor regularly and once you start your period have yearly check ups with a gynecologist.
Only your doctors can tell you what you proper weight should be. If your athletic you are going to weigh more than someone of your same height and build because muscle weighs more than fat, although you will be healthier.
As for your body hair, please do not shave it as this will only make it thicker and darker. Pluck it for now and when you get older you can get a body wax. If it is real self-esteem issue see a dermatologist for suggestions on how to deal with it.
CuriousWonders2012 answered Friday July 29 2011, 3:22 am: ok. Your only 13 so you dont need to be stressing your weight. but if it helps any, ive never really heard of growing into yourself as in losing weight and gaining shape as you get older, saldy. im sorry ! but ideas? just watch what you eat. im 17 , 5'1 , && weigh 127 and i still watch what i eat. also, you can go to the track and walk like 2 miles every other day. thats what my mom would do while i was training for track while doing weight watchers and just within the first week she lost 5 pounds. hope i helped.

But I know exactly how you feel when i was younger i Was a chubby kid,. Even as i went into high school I was a chubby teenager,. But if you try watching what you weigh when you get a bit older,. you can work out to tone your body if you like,. But I will tell you this. I have not met you,. I don't know what you look like or anything about you, You are a very beautiful person.
By the way,. DO NOT SHAVE YOUR STOMACH. If you shave it it will become Thicker and more noticable kind of like a beard. Try Plucking the noticable Hairs with tweezers. It might hurt but it will get rid of them. And when you are a little bit older you can have your stomach waxed. This will get rid of the entire hair root instead of trimming it and leaving some of it in your skin. Which is the noticable black dots.
snowboardbabe answered Thursday July 28 2011, 11:56 pm: Im not here to tell you to accept how you are or who you are.. im here to give you some real advice hun. First of all your 13 TRUST ME you will grow into your body you got a long way for puberty. I know it sucks with the low self confidence and self esteem..I dont blame you our world is corrupt with the fake people BUT.. heres my advice. Get your favorite music that makes you motivated and happy... WORK OUT EVERY SINGLE DAY.. for about 2-3 hours trust me.. and eat properly no stupid diets.. just limit the food like little junk food little meat just stuff like that... if you do this for the next 10 years girl... you will be definatley a new person. What I personally suggest have you heard of Zumba?... you can buy it on games or go to your local gym.. imagine this zumba is a dance class and its based on working out every part of your body.. you dont even have to be good at it.. if you put your effort into the classes.. YOU LOOSE UP TO 1,000 CALORIES!! I highly suggest it it really boosts you up. And the hair on the stomach thats normal... either keep shaving it.. or TRY nair.. if not go and wax it :)dont pluck it because it would hurt..
