Hey, I'm Chris, and I thought I'd finally get around to posting here. I've been looking at some of the posts with interest for what seems like ages (probably about 3 months) Well, my story is that I'm 12, Male, about 5'9", and just over 160lbs, I'm fairly musclet, and I don't look that fat, altough there are distinct rolls around my waist!, (I think its a 32" or osmething equally horrible) I'm going through a 'growth spurt' thingy right now,so I want to know 2 answers.
1) If I wasn;t going through a growth spurt, should I try to lose weight?
2) As I am going through a growth spurt, should I try to lose weight?
Thanks a lot, if you want to talk with me, or you want me to give you encouragement, or (heaven forbid), you want to encourage, or even talk to me, then my e-mail is: chris_allan@comic.com

chris,It is ok my brother went through the same thing
it is right when you are getting a little growth spur.At your age he weighed 160 and he was chubby.But it is just baby fat.I also know because before my 11 birthday I weighed 120 then when I was twelve I gained
weight.Now I weigh 110.If you want some tips though or want to talk my email adress is sambo26327@netscape.net(sorry if this sounds dum)

Hey, don't feel bad. I'm an inch shorter than you, same weight and waist size 34. I have much more fat than muscle. I think you should wait until your done with your growth spurt, because you will grow taller and that will eliminate some of those rolls you have around your waist. Good luck.

Actually, I just realised in error in my message, I am 13, just that I sometimes still type 12, odd that. Oh well.
