To all the people exercising, when you exercise, you gain muscle. Since muscle weighs more than fat, you will gain some weight. Dont worry about it though, you will look better. :)

IT WILL BE HARD TO LOSE A LOT OF WEIGHT IN 4 WEEKS. MY PREDICAMINT WAS BASICALLY THE SAME AS YOURES. MY FRIEND WAS HAVING A POOL PARTY HIS MOM USED TO ONLY LET GUYS COME SO I DIDNT WORRY ABOUT MY WEIGHT PROBLEM AT HIS PARTIES. GIRLS ARE COMING THIS YEAR. I TRIED LOSING A LOT OF WEIGHT FAST IT MADE ME GET SICK. SO START A DIET BUT DONT WORRY IF PEOPLE SAY SOMTHING. JUST GO AND HAVE FUN. P.S. YOU WILL BE SUPRISED HOW MUCH BETTER A COUPLE OF POUNDS LOST CAME MAKE YOU LOOK. YOU WILL LOSEA FEW IN A MONTH.

Hate to break it to you, but you can't lose weight off just one place! You have to reduce the overall fat you have. You could also do some leg excercises that will help you look toned and make the weight loss go quicker, running especially. Try to play a sport that involves a lot of runnning, like soccer or track and field! Otherwise, just go running with your friends. Hope I helped!

Depends on how much you have of them to eat. Make sure to excercise so that way you can burn off some of the sugars and carbs and calories in the food that you ate.

Hi everyone. I used to weigh like 155 pounds or something, now I am 2 to 3 inches taller and only weigh 124! My tip for people out there is when you want to eat because you are depressed turn on lively music you like because than you will be listening to that insteed of over eating and you might even feel like dancing! Another tip is don't always weigh your self because I know for me when I weighed my self and was heavier I would get depressed and eat more and gain even more, and when I weighed less, I'd be like yeah! I lost a bunch of weight I want to celibrate, and I'd eat more and gain weight, orI would be like, hey if i lost weight I can eat a little more to reward my self, but than I wouldn't be able to stop. Botton line, don't weigh your self all the time try like once a month insteed of once a day.

Don't worry about the 2 pounds. Did you know you can retain up to 10 pounds of water weight? It can be water weight and before you know it it'll be gone! No worries :)

hi!if you are 7, you really shouldn't be worrying about dieting and stuff like that. Just go out and play with your friends, run around outside, or play sport that you like, or even take up a new sport you haven't tried before. You can still have fast food, just don't have it as often, halve the amount you have it, and replace it with healthier meals(it doesn't have to be veg and fruit) but please don't worry about strict dieting, you are only 7 and have so much growing to do still.

Don't think about the total amount of weight you want to lose. Set your goal for 2 to 5 lbs every week. And don't feel bad if one week you don't lose any but that you stayed the same(rather than gaining) and then jump back into it the next week. Remember "A mile is a trial, an inch is a cinch". You can do it, one little step at a time.
And don't let the kids at school get to you. They don't see the courageous and smart person that is on the inside. Because you are smart and brave, your trying to make yourself better!!! :o)
