Ask Your parents to Do not Buy Junk food for and Buy Healthy food Exercise every day. The main thing that will make you lose with is running for about 45 min.You should be able to lose weight Because you are still growing. Have Faith in Yourself.Write in Your diary to let the presure go.

Hi I am Halle and I was just like you at age nine I weighed 121 but since then I am only 90 pounds and have no fat. What I did was wathed what I ate. No candy or things with lots of calories. You should introduce yourself to a healthy life style. Try exersizing. Get weights and do a 100 every day. Do lots of sit ups. You can do it I know you can.

People- weight loss IS NOT a secret. you JUST burn more calories then you consume it is that simple. SO either eat less, exercise more or do both. Thats it, easy said, easy done. (There are also pills if you are not incontrol of yourself, but I don't believe in those people are in control of their actions and shouldn't need pills)

i know. weight loss is hard, and it doesn't come overnight. but what many people don't understand is the energy we put into and use in our bodies. also known as calories. there is about 3500 calories on a pound of fat, so what you need to do is make it so you're eating less calories(not necissarily eating less food! just healthier- veggies have a lot less calories then junk! and snaking on veggies and fruits help to not over eat at meals. also! they have a lot of fiber and fiber makes you go to the bathroom and loose weight...well- um- hehe- back on track!) and burning a good amount during excersize. cardio is better then weight lifting if you want to look thinner. at first! cardio helps get the layer of fat off. i lose weight by doing tae-bo and this game called dance dance revelution(find something fun!) and i use slimfast for one meal and cut out junk food. but you have to understand ...

u don't really have to do a hardcore excercise u could just try maybe riding ur bike or hangin out with friends more also once school starts u'll probably lose weight cause u won't have as much spare time and if u have a really really bad cravin for junk food just drink a diet soda or water and then weight awhile and go do somethin and hopefully you'll forget about it

Ht. 5'4", Today: 115 lb (BMI %tile: 59) - im not overweight cuz i weigh 115 and im 5'4 but i got this 4 overweight ppl. i got it off this site. i dont think ppl look @ the stuff that much here cuz they ask bout how 2 lose weight. well it says:Cut in half whatever you usually eat, eat half, and save half for later. You're not giving it up, because you can have it later. If you're at a restaurant, ask the waitress to box up the half you don't eat and take it with you to have the next day. Even cutting just a third or a fourth off will help. The idea is to eat the same things you are used to, just less of them. This is hard for the first week or two, but then it gets easier. Cutting down by little steps each day may be easier. Then it's like a new habit. You don't even miss the extra food. You can then adjust the size of the servings you eat, so that you stay where you want your weight to be. And remember... typical serving sizes are set by people who want to sell food...(Click here to see rest of message).

Hi Curly I am 12 and 150 too I just want to tell you that all you have to do is eat right like eat more fruits and veggies chicken and fish and try to stay away from mayonnaise cheese fried foods and sweets. And exercize bike ride or go for a walk for 30 minutes a day and after you do that do 20 to 30 sit ups and leg exercizes.
