Reply from DancingDamsel, Age 13 - 03/26/09 - IP#: 65.10.135.xxx buy a book to instruct you or, if money is not an obstacle, get a gym membership and ask for help. BOOKS TO BUY: "The Diet for Teenagers Only." If the BMI calculator tells you that you should be eating 2000 calories, don't. Eat the 1400 or 1600 whatever it tells you. This book gives you meal plans that taste great, portion cards to make sure your pizza is the right size or whatever, extra recipes, exercises (w/ pictures!), and important information. "Perfect Parts:..." by Rachael McLish. This book has AWESOME exercises and a great diet for 2 pounds a week! Mind you, you may not see the results ON THE SCALE immediately because muscle building may add mass. These are just a few of the many books out there. Hope this helped. Good luck, Madison!!!
