hi all i am 13, 5'6" and 135 lb, which is only 1 lb. under the overweight line I have a very fat stomach that folds over when i sit and big thighs. all my friends are like 110 and think 135 is super fat because they have no fat on them so i am the only kid with extra fat. They are all thinner than me and i can never borrow pants or anything cuz i wont fit! it is hard for me to lose this fat but i want to and need help.

I wear like a size five. You can't compare yourself to your friends because they have a different bone structure and maybe you have more muscle than them

Reply from savanna, Age 14 - 04/26/01 Hey! I know your down but dont be! Dont let nebody make u feel bad about yourself! If u want to b healthier then just get involved in more after-school programs like tennis basketball dance gymnastics or if ur not the sporty type, try arobics at home or at ur local fittness gym. Swimming and jogging are GREAT wayz 2 get in shape! Whatever u do DONT go on an extreme diet! If u do your body will take this as a sign that ur starving urself and then when u get off ur diet your body will autimatically hold on 2 the fatty foods that u put into it and u will actually start to gain weight- and tis time it will b harder to get rid of it. Then again I'm not saying to totally pig out 24-7. Just try to reach for the apple instead of the chocolate cake if u want a snack! Well thats all I can give u! Good luck and stay strong!
Reply from Kayla, Age 16 - 12/26/00 If you are 5'6" and 135 lb, I wouldn't worry about looking fat! Exercise can help you feel your best, but I weigh the same as you and I'm 5'3". I know I'm not fat! Ignore your obsessed "friends."
Reply from Ariel, Age 14 - 12/15/00 It's not you that doesn't fit, it's the clothes!!! But if you really want help, try "Jump" magazine. In every issue they have a section on exercise and fitness. I'm using it now, and I'm actually sticking with the exercises! Just remember: GOD LOVES YOU!!!!
